Private Equity Fund in DRC
Bridging Capital to High-Growth Opportunities in DR Congo
FG Capital Advisors’ Private Equity Fund is active in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the wider CEMAC region, targeting financial services (banks, insurance, pensions), real estate, hospitality, logistics, retail and renewable energy infrastructure. We bridge domestic and foreign capital with risk-adjusted, high-growth investments in Africa’s frontier markets.
The DRC’s population of ~110 million (growing 3% p.a.) and CEMAC’s collective GDP of $250 billion underline the scale of opportunity. Financial-sector penetration is below 20%, urban housing shortfalls exceed 3 million units, and energy access gaps remain critical. Our DRC private equity investment and CEMAC region fund connect capital to these unmet needs.
Financial Services
DRC banking assets are $8 billion with only 15% penetration. Insurance premiums/GDP under 1%. We invest in tier-2 banks and composite insurers to drive digital onboarding, governance reforms and double-digit ROEs.
Real Estate & Logistics
A housing deficit of 3 million units and logistics costs at 30% of GDP create development gaps. We develop mixed-use projects and modern warehousing along high-growth urban corridors.
Hospitality & Retail
Kinshasa tourism grew 12% in 2024; retail sales +10% p.a. We back branded hotels, QSR franchises and FMCG chains, enhancing operations and consumer finance platforms.
Renewable Energy Infrastructure
Only 19% electrification rate in rural DRC; CEMAC averages 40%. We finance solar mini-grids, hydro-battery hybrids and off-grid solutions, targeting 15%+ IRRs and measurable social impact.
