Fusion deals only with professional investors and institutions. Whichever route you choose — a Portfolio Managed Account, one of our Fusion-managed funds, or our Personal Investment Service — we are obliged to satisfy ourselves of your identity, the source of your capital, and the suitability of the investment for you. Our investor-onboarding process is rigorous, but smooth and efficient.

In short: we help ambitious African businesses and experienced investors build lasting value, together.
