In addition a key feature of AFSIC 2017 focuses on the ability for delegates to pre-arrange individual meetings prior to arrival between investors, dealmakers, African financial services companies and other key participants in Africa’s financial services sector.

AFSIC ANNUAL CONFERENCE

May 3rd to 5th 2017, London, Park Plaza Riverbank, UK www.afsic.net

HISTORY AFSIC 2017 will be the fifth Africa Financial Services Investment Conference. The first Africa Financial Services Investment Conference took place in Brighton in May 2013. The objective was, and remains, to bring together African financial services companies with a wide range of Africa’s most important investors, both debt and equity. In consideration of the difficulty of travelling within and across different African countries, the event provides an important forum where a large number of high impact meetings can be held in one place at one time. AFSIC 2014 saw considerable growth with over 125 companies. The event grew considerably again in 2015 with over 220 companies attending representing 25 different African countries. The number of investors attending grew yet again, and the number of African financial services companies attending grew particularly strongly. Following the move to London AFSIC 2016 saw further strong growth in delegate numbers with significant attendance from Africa’s leading debt and equity investors of note. As news of AFSIC spreads throughout the continent it is likely that the event will continue to develop as Africa’s largest financial services investment event attracting banks, insurance companies, consumer lending companies, micro finance companies, leasing companies, investment banks and brokerages and similar companies.

OVERVIEW | FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CONTINUED WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF AFSIC? AFSIC connects African Financial Services companies with an extensive range of the leading Debt and Equity investors looking to invest in Africa’s financial services sector. HOW DOES IT ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE? AFSIC is a highly focused investment event specifically designed to allow African financial services companies the opportunity to hold a large number of highly constructive and focused meetings with many of Africa’s leading Debt & Equity Investors, and Dealmakers such as Investment Bankers, Stockbrokers, Research Analysts, Fixed Income & Equity sales teams, Mergers & Acquisition teams etc. A substantial number of global investors attend AFSIC allowing African Financial Services companies to hold a considerable number of investment focused meetings over a few days in the same location.

• Listed Equity Funds focused on investments into Financial Services companies listed on African Stock Exchanges; • Impact Investors focused on investment opportunities that offer significant social or environmental return alongside a financial return; • Development Finance Institutions, including many of the leading DFIs in the world such as ADA, Biofund, CDC, DEG, FMO, Proparco etc. DFIs have been amongst the most important investors in Africa historically and continue to provide a very significant investment and support role in supporting Africa’s financial services sector; • African based Investors looking for investment opportunities outside their home country, or looking for co-investors in projects or investors into their own funds; • Sovereign Wealth Funds looking for investment opportunities in Africa.

The Agenda is designed to specifically showcase investment opportunities in Africa’s financial services sector, and also permits investors in the sector to highlight their own investment parameters and strategies.

WHAT KIND OF AFRICAN FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPANIES ATTEND?

WHAT TYPE OF INVESTORS ATTEND AFSIC?

• Banks, including subsidiaries of African banks;

May 3rd to 5th 2017, London, Park Plaza Riverbank, UK www.afsic.net

OVERVIEW | FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CONTINUED ARE THE INVESTORS DEBT OR EQUITY FOCUSED OR BOTH? The investors are both debt and equity focused. The range and number of investors attending allows African financial services companies to target investors most suited to their own business sector (e.g. banking or microfinance etc) and their different capital requirements ranging from investors focused on smaller investment of $0.5m right up to larger investment sums of $50m+. HOW DO I ARRANGE MEETINGS WITH INVESTORS AT AFSIC? An online meeting and messaging system is opened to all registered delegates one month prior to AFSIC. This allows delegates from African financial services companies the opportunity to contact all investors attending AFSIC well in advance of the event. AFSIC delegates can then communicate their investment requirements, and explore investment parameters ahead of the event resulting in highly targeted investment meetings at AFSIC. Please note that delegates attending AFSIC are responsible for arranging meetings themselves with Investors and Dealmakers. Meeting tables can be reserved for the duration of AFSIC to facilitate meetings. This is encouraged where delegates envisage holding multiple meetings, or alternatively meetings can be arranged in a more casual manner at a general one on one meeting point where a limited amount of seating is available on a first come first served basis. In addition the agenda has been designed to provide a number of networking events throughout the duration of AFSIC allowing multiple opportunities for interaction between the Senior Executives attending AFSIC.
