About – Alteia Fund

Our foundation

What is Alteia Fund Management Ltd

Regulated by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius, Alteia Fund Management Ltd (AFML) manages specialised trade finance investment vehicles across Africa and the GCC, operating within a defined investment framework that includes controls around concentration, tenor, and counterparty exposure.

FSC regulation requires the Fund to meet defined standards governing how capital is deployed, reported, and overseen. These requirements provide a layer of regulatory accountability that sits alongside the Fund’s own internal controls.

Trade finance expertise

Trade finance in Africa and the GCC requires more than capital. It requires trusted relationships, local networks, and the ability to source and assess opportunities that are not always visible to the broader market.

AFML has built its business around these capabilities, combining established borrower relationships, sector experience, and rigorous underwriting to access opportunities that can be difficult to reach through a more generalist approach.

Regional operations

Africa and the GCC are home to some of the world’s most dynamic trade corridors. As trade volumes, infrastructure investment, and regional integration continue to expand, so does the demand for capital that supports the movement of goods across these markets.

AFML benefits from the Alteia Group’s presence in Mauritius, Johannesburg, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi. This regional presence supports direct borrower engagement, access to local market intelligence, and a closer understanding of the markets in which the Fund invests.

Role within the Alteia Group

Alteia Fund Management Ltd forms part of Alteia Group, a multi-entity investment platform that combines complementary investment capabilities, shared expertise and institutional governance. As part of the Group, the Fund benefits from integrated origination networks, specialist investment professionals, and a robust risk, legal and compliance framework designed to support institutional investors.

This structure enables the AFML to leverage the broader resources and oversight of the Alteia Group while maintaining its distinct investment mandate and operating within its own regulatory framework as a Mauritius-based investment manager.

Mandate first

We operate within a defined scope that guides our strategic decisions. Opportunities are assessed against established criteria, portfolio objectives, and risk parameters before any facility is approved.

Long-term orientation

We focus on building lasting relationships with allocators, borrowers, and partners. Consistency, reliability, and ongoing engagement remain central to how we operate under varying market conditions.

Core principles

Accountability, transparency, and rigorous execution underpin all aspects of how we operate. These values shape how we manage capital, make decisions, and conduct ourselves.

Launch of the original investment platform

Our early work focused on structured, short-duration trade finance in African markets, laying the foundations for the investment approach, underwriting principles, and regional knowledge that continue to shape Alteia today.

Flexible investment solutions

Alteia Fund Management Ltd (AFML) works with institutional allocators, family offices, and professional clients. We offer access through a range of structures, including pooled fund vehicles, managed accounts, and tailored solutions designed around specific objectives, risk appetite, and strategic requirements.

Partnership approach

We view investor relationships as long-term partnerships. Direct access to the investment team, ongoing dialogue, and open communication remain central to how we engage with clients.

We believe that transparency and accessibility are a fundamental part of managing capital responsibly. Investors receive regular reporting on portfolio activity and fund developments throughout their investment.

Looking ahead

As trade flows evolve and investor requirements change, AFML is expanding its capabilities through new strategies and impact-oriented investment solutions. Our goal is to give investors access to a broader range of trade finance opportunities across the markets where we operate.

Trade finance plays an important role in supporting businesses, supply chains, and economic activity across Africa and the GCC. As the AFML evolves, we continue to explore opportunities that seek to combine attractive investment outcomes with broader positive impact.
