Primary Objectives The Vision Set up in 2009, the AHF is a pioneering collaboration between a select investor group and Aureos to answer the following questions: Viability Is there a base of opportunities broad enough, and a risk capital appetite deep enough, to allow a fund focused on private healthcare in Africa to deploy capital viably? Commercial attractiveness Would such a fund be able to generate commercial returns and crystalize exits sufficient to attract a wider pool of investors? Impact Can a social mandate to increase quality, improve accessibility and reduce costs for the disenfranchised (BOP) be successfully embedded within the investment objectives of the fund? This presentation provides an overview of progress made to date. 3
The Market The private healthcare space in Africa is only now starting to mature, requiring care in the deployment of capital Deal universe Companies Predominance of faith-based, non- profits & development organizations in health sector serving the BoP in Africa Majority of private companies are in the small or early stage category some of which are only now just at break even Investing in such early stage companies will result in small deal sizes (ranging between $0.25m- $3m on average) Provision of subsidized healthcare goods and services distorts market, particularly for businesses serving the BoP Limited information on the BoP population, and a challenge collecting data on BoP impact Require significant handholding to take companies to scale (Management have limited business skills) Limited understanding of private equity by company sponsors Dominance of sole proprietorships, familyowned businesses No formal Corporate governance structures Majority of the companies lack good financial systems and internal controls (do not conduct annual audits, filing taxes) Information is usually company specific and cannot be transferred 4
