About Us

54 Capital is an Africa-focused asset manager established in 2013 by Saad Aouad, its current Chief Investment Officer, and Emmanuel Couteau, its current Chief Operating Officer.

From inception, 54 Capital has set itself apart with an agile and adaptive deal-by-deal execution and fundraising strategy. This strategy ensures a better alignment with the interests of each of its investors, as well as provides greater accountability and increased value to all stakeholders.

54 Capital has no pressure to deploy, before the end of a given investment period, a blind pool of capital already committed to a fund. Instead, 54 Capital thrives to only source investments that will best fit its investors’ risk appetite and return expectations.
