Welcome to InvestingInAfrica.net, a field guide to profitable opportunities in African stock markets.
Many investors still find the words “profitable” and “African” to be a startling juxtaposition. And who can blame them? The news media is saturated with images of famine, war, and disease on the continent.
But there’s another side of Africa that gets a lot less press. It’s a place full of hopeful and enterprising people who are confident of a better future. This is the Africa that I believe is home to some of the most attractive investments in the world today.
About Ryan Hoover
My interest in Africa stems from a three-year volunteer term spent in the Southern African nation of Lesotho in the late 1990s. Like many other visitors to the region, I returned home a card-carrying Afrophile.
In the years since, I’ve sought to remain as engaged with the continent as possible. This has taken many forms. I’ve worked as a human rights advocate and writer, and, most recently, as an equity analyst and fund manager.
Through this blog, I attempt to spotlight African companies that contribute to human development while delivering market-beating returns to their investors.
I’ve written a bit more about my interest in African investments here.
