Coronation Group Limited, through its subsidiaries Coronation Capital Limited and Trium, has reinforced its commitment to fostering Africa’s economic advancement by sponsoring the 2025 African Private Capital Association (AVCA) conference. This sponsorship underscores the group’s belief in the power of capital stewardship, innovation, and intergenerational financial strategies as key drivers of sustainable growth within the African continent. The AVCA conference, themed “Bold Moves: Powering 10x in Africa,” serves as a crucial platform for convening key stakeholders, including investors, fund managers, family offices, and policymakers, to discuss and strategize on the future of private capital in Africa. Coronation’s active participation and sponsorship highlight their dedication to shaping the investment landscape and promoting sustainable models for private capital deployment across the continent.
The 2025 AVCA conference delved into critical topics shaping the future of African investment, including the evolving role of family offices, the increasing importance of climate-smart investing, the complexities of infrastructure financing, and strategies to enhance institutional participation in Africa’s growth trajectory. By sponsoring this event, Coronation and Trium aim to contribute to the development of effective investment strategies that address Africa’s unique challenges and opportunities. They recognize the conference as a vital forum for fostering dialogue, collaboration, and the exchange of innovative ideas that can drive transformative change across the continent.
Kayode Akindele, Managing Partner at Coronation Capital Limited and Senior Adviser at Tengen Family Office, emphasized the critical need for mobilizing local capital during his participation in a panel discussion at the conference. He highlighted the historical over-reliance on developmental funding, arguing that its unsustainable nature necessitates a shift towards African entities funding African priorities. Akindele stressed the importance of family offices transitioning from silent participants to strategic allocators of capital, playing a more proactive role in shaping the continent’s investment landscape. Coronation’s sponsorship of the AVCA conference aligns with this vision, aiming to empower African investors and institutions to take ownership of the continent’s economic future.
Adebayo Adewolu, CEO of Trium, echoed Akindele’s sentiments, underscoring the necessity for investment vehicles tailored to the specific context of the African market and led by African institutions. He emphasized the importance of patient, strategic, and committed capital that understands the unique rhythms and dynamics of the African economy. Adewolu highlighted the AVCA conference as a space where investment vision converges with local insights, facilitating the development of effective investment strategies. Trium’s sponsorship of the event demonstrates their commitment to building tailored capital solutions that support African ambitions and contribute to sustainable economic growth.
