Our foundation

What is Alteia Fund Management Ltd

Alteia Fund Management Ltd (“AFML”) is an investment manager regulated by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius. AFML manages specialised investment vehicles focused on financing trade flows across Africa and the GCC.

Its investment approach is centred on short-duration trade finance transactions, supported by defined underwriting criteria and controls around concentration, tenor and counterparty exposure.

Trade finance expertise

AFML has a proven track record of originating, structuring and managing trade finance transactions throughout Africa and the GCC. Our capabilities encompass transaction sourcing, credit assessment, structuring, execution and portfolio monitoring, covering multiple sectors, counterparties and trade corridors.

This regional expertise is supported by established borrower and market relationships, alongside a multidisciplinary investment team with extensive backgrounds in trade finance, banking, credit, legal, risk management and operations.

International presence

Africa and the GCC are home to established trade corridors supported by significant flows of goods between regional and international markets. These markets continue to generate demand for trade finance to support the movement of goods and working capital needs.

Through the wider Alteia network in Mauritius, Johannesburg, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, AFML benefits from regional market knowledge, established relationships and proximity to the markets and counterparties underlying its investment activities.

Role within the Alteia Group

Alteia Group is the shared brand under which Alteia Fund Management Ltd (“AFML”), Alteia Capital and Alteia Investment Management Ltd (“AIML”) operate. Each is a separate legal entity operating within its respective jurisdiction and regulatory framework.

AFML is the Mauritius-based investment manager within this structure, with responsibility for the investment vehicles under its management and operating in accordance with its own regulatory obligations.

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.
