Following the annual SAVCA VC Conference, our Director – Africa, Dr Rufaro Nyakatawa, will welcome finance professionals from Jersey and South Africa at an exclusive funds-focussed roundtable event.

Hosted by Dr Rufaro Nyakatawa, Director – Africa, Jersey Finance, and Mike Capraro, Funds Client Director at ZEDRA, the session will explore ‘Beyond Structuring: What Really Attracts Investors?’.

Bringing together senior professionals from across the funds, private wealth and advisory sectors, the discussion will examine the factors that underpin successful fund launches including: what investors are looking for; building trust through governance and a strong track record; the value of networks and strategic relationships; creating an investment story that resonates; managing the economics of a first-time fund; and scaling from Fund I to Fund III.

The roundtable will provide an opportunity to exchange perspectives, share practical insights and connect with peers operating across the investment ecosystem.
