About the firm
Building institutions that outlast their founders.
Six Degrees Fund Management was founded on a single conviction: the distance between ambitious African enterprise and the capital it needs should never be more than a few deliberate connections.
Our story
The name is a statement of method.
We believe capital, opportunity, and impact are separated not by impossibility but by missing links — and our role is to close those gaps with rigour, integrity, and patience. We are long-term partners in the structuring, financing, and stewardship of enterprises that matter.
What we stand for
Six values, one standard.
Integrity
We tell the truth, especially when it is inconvenient. We never compromise client trust for short-term gain.
Rigour
Our judgements rest on evidence, analysis, and disciplined process — never on hope or hype.
Stewardship
We treat every unit of capital and every relationship as a trust to be protected and grown.
Impact
We measure success in enterprises strengthened, jobs created, and institutions built.
Excellence
We hold ourselves to an investor-grade standard in everything — from a board pack to an email.
Partnership
We win when our clients and partners win. We are long-term by temperament and collaborative by design.
Governance
Good governance is our competitive advantage.
It is what allows institutional capital to trust us, and what lets us scale across markets without losing control of quality or conduct.
- Separation of duties between investment, operations, and oversight.
- Functioning investment committee with consistent, documented criteria.
- Independent advisory board bringing challenge and market insight.
- Transparent reporting to investors and regulators across jurisdictions.
