Our Fund
About Annona
The Annona Sustainable Investment Fund is a commercial Venture Capital fund that invests in small- and medium sized enterprises (SME’s) in Africa and Latin America. Profitability is a first precondition for long term sustainability, but there are many other drivers. Our objective is to obtain reasonable VC returns ... within strictly defined parameters of a measurable and lasting socio-economic impact.
Organisation
At Annona we make every effort to keep our overhead to an absolute minimum, and hence we work with a very compact team. Duplication of efforts is avoided by concentrating specifically on core Fund Management skills, ranging from structuring investment proposals to monitoring and coaching ongoing ventures and preparing exit’s.
