At Confluence Investors, we believe the businesses we invest in are more than numbers on a spreadsheet or tools to deliver commercial returns. These businesses are the engines of positive change in society. Take, for example, the life of a student who benefits directly from the services provided by ADvTECH Group, an education business based in South Africa and Kenya. ADvTECH is part of the Confluence potential investment universe. This student gains access to not only education but also a safe environment equipped with the facilities necessary to also support their wellbeing. As they work towards their qualification, they are building a brighter future for themselves—one that increases their earning potential and opens doors to new opportunities. But the impact doesn’t stop with them. The ripple effect of this education transforms not just the student’s life, but that of their family, and often their extended family as well. At Confluence, we believe that each investment should deliver not only financial returns but also a meaningful and positive impact on the individuals and communities it touches.

About us
Confluence Investors is an Impact fund manager with a focus on publicly listed companies in the non-BRIC global emerging markets. We believe there are attractive businesses in these often-overlooked markets that can deliver compelling returns as well as make a meaningful Impact. As a long-term investor, we engage with management teams around relevant Impact and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) topics. We are truly committed to achieving Impact as well as returns. A portion of performance fees due to management are contingent on our delivery of Impact and ESG goals. Our achievement of these targets is assessed by a third-party impact auditor. Our Impact themes are: Climate Action, Inclusive Education, Quality Healthcare, and Financial Inclusion. Our Impact evaluation framework is rigorous, rooted in academic studies – calculating in monetary terms each portfolio company’s contribution towards the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. Capitalworks, an independent alternative asset management firm with a focus in global emerging markets, is an anchor investor and is also providing operational support. Capitalworks manages over US$1 billion across multiple strategies. The Confluence Impact Fund launched to Accredited Investors in Q1 2023.

Great to see the CEO of Fawry, a company in the Confluence Investors investment universe, empahsising the benefits of their focus on bringing financial inclusion to millions of unbanked and underbanked Egyptians. 💹 💸 #impactinvesting
At the EFG Hermes 10th Annual London Investor Conference, Economy Middle East spoke with Ashraf Sabry, founder and CEO of Fawry. Sabry highlighted how Fawry is reaching Egypt's unbanked and underserved populations by leveraging technology and a wide network of grocery stores and kiosks, totaling 300,000 outlets. This approach not only serves underserved consumers but also boosts foot traffic for small businesses. He also discussed Fawry’s acquisition of an SME financing license in February 2024, which has allowed the company to expand its services to businesses with 50-250 employees, offering lending, payroll, and digital payment solutions. Regarding the rise of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services, Sabry explained that Fawry recently launched this option for prepaid card customers, aiming to make smaller payments more manageable through equal monthly installments.

Confluence Impact Stories: Cartrack At Confluence Investors, our commitment to impact goes beyond mere analytics; we actively seek narratives from end consumers, providing firsthand accounts of how their lives are positively influenced by companies within the Confluence investment universe. One compelling example is Cartrack, a South African company specializing in the production of telematic devices for motor vehicles. In this exclusive video, we showcase the profound impact Cartrack has on individuals and communities. The innovative "boxes" installed in cars or fleets not only helps enhance driving behaviour but also help contribute to the reduction of fuel emissions, car theft, and accidents. It's important to note that Confluence Investors spearheads this initiative independently, and Cartrack has no direct involvement or influence in this project. While strategies recommended by Confluence Investors may or may not include investments in Cartrack, it's essential to understand that Confluence Impact Stories are not intended as investment advice or promotional material. Through these impactful narratives, we aim to shed light on the transformative effects of conscientious investments and inspire a collective commitment to positive change. #Impactinvesting #emergingmarkets #southafrica
