Trans-Century Limited (“TC”) is an investment company based in Kenya, with a view of making medium- and long-term investments across fast-growing under-served sectors in Sub-Saharan Africa, to generating private equity returns for our shareholders.

TC was established eleven years ago by a group of African professionals and businessmen, who were appreciative of the interesting growth opportunities that the continent was presenting and the corresponding tightness of equity capital in the continent. The investment company has since grown by establishing a full complement of investment professionals on staff, all of whom have experience in corporate finance and private equity, gained from working in emerging markets across Africa, as well as the developed markets of Europe and the US. It is this marriage of developed-world skills with practical pan-African skills that gives the team the knowledge and flexibility to create and manage investment opportunities. This is borne in the teams reputation of being a dynamic, reputable and solid partner with a proven track record for generating exceptional private equity returns.

This reputation as a preferred investment partner in Sub-Saharan Africa has positioned TC to access attractive proprietary deal flow across the region and across the target sectors, as well as providing access to strong corporate management teams, entrepreneurs and strategic partners, that can deliver on the intended corporate strategies.
