The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and Standard Bank Group are calling on women fund managers across Africa to apply to join the African Women Leadership Fund initiative (AWLF), an innovative impact fund that will provide capital and expertise to successful candidates.

The AWLF Initiative has been established with the aim of uplifting female-owned and managed asset management firms and providing a defined economic stimulus to achieve sustainable economic growth in Africa. The fund, the first of its kind, aims to raise up to $1 billion over 10 years (€910 million or R19 billion) for women fund managers, who in turn will invest in high-impact businesses and projects across the continent, thus driving entrepreneurship.

Having already received some applications, the AWLF Initiative is inviting more applications from established women-owned or women-managed funds that participate in listed markets and short-term private debt.

Requirements

• Under this first phase of the AWLF Initiative’s implementation, funding will be allocated to asset managers across North, East, Southern and West Africa. Allocations will be made with a view to achieving the best possible regional and geographic diversification.
• Applicants must be female, reside in Africa or be willing to relocate to Africa, and need to have proven fund- or asset-management experience. They will be subject to an investment and operational due-diligence process that will need to be completed by the end of August 2020, with the first phase of the fund becoming fully operational in the fourth quarter of this year.
• The second phase of the fund’s launch will be announced at a later stage and investments will be made into women-owned or women-managed private equity funds. The third phase will target first-time women fund managers through an Emerging Manager Seed Capital Programme.
• While the fund is sector-agnostic, it will have a preference towards high-impact sectors including manufacturing, education, healthcare, renewable energy, and technology.

AWLFI WILL BE ROLLED OUT IN THREE FUND PHASES. THESE ARE:

• Phase 1: AWLFI will invest in established women-owned fund management firms or in fund managers with the capability to take on segregated mandates. These Managers will operate in the listed space.
• Phase 2: In the second round of funding, the AWLFI will look to invest in existing Private Equity Funds, thus enabling the fund to hold a combination of listed and private equity investments.
• Phase 3: An incubation programme to put new women fund managers on the map.

There have been previous calls to participate in the AWLFI. If you have applied previously, please confirm your application by emailing awlf@standardbank.co.za

Who is this for?

Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the AWLFI  is suitable for:

• Established women fund managers in the listed or private market space who own, or partly own, an asset management firm
• Women professionals working in existing and established firms with suitable fund management experience (experience can be as a co-fund manager) in the listed or private market space

CASHEW-NUT AND THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES!

Cashew-nut and the business opportunities it presents!
Among the diverse agricultural produce in Nigeria, cashew-nut tends to be one of the best if not the best for aspiring young entrepreneurs who want to start a business, as far as I knew, been brought up in rural neighborhoods. This may be well understood by those with a farming background in Nigeria.
Apart from being a grower of the cashew which offers great pecuniary benefits to the agriculturist, there are a number of ways to participate in the business which similarly deliver good money.
Without having the capital, one could start the business by reaching out to those who buy from farmers and negotiate on behalf of the distributors who in return pay commission, or you bargain your price with the distributor.
With little as small as N50000, you can start as an intermediate in the chain of distribution of the business of cashew and earn a good dividend. In every business, trustworthiness is the backbone that propels the aims, and objectives of the businessman or woman to the desired level or beyond, efficiently, and effectively as the farmers will be ready to give their goods to you to pay when you sell.
Cashew farming is good, and it's the similitude of a civil servant who after his retirement, has his savings waiting for him to retrieve, and relax to enjoy it. Actually, it took cashew trees up to three to four years before it will start generating cashew fruits, but when it turns on, then you begin to reap the benefit of your Labour.
Apparently, many youths considered farming to be dirty and business of the poor without evaluating the numerous benefit in farming, especially now that there are no job opportunities like in the 80s and available few had been hijacked by the elites. And for that reason, one needs to get it right by invest right with his time and resources in the farming business. Thanks.
