The Most Comprehensive List of Hedge Funds in Africa

Africa’s hedge fund industry is concentrated almost entirely in South Africa, which has the continent’s most developed capital markets and the only established hedge fund regulatory framework in Africa. Cape Town is the primary hub, home to the majority of African hedge fund managers, many of whom operate from the city’s Waterfront and central business districts.  Johannesburg’s Sandton financial district also hosts a significant cluster of managers. South Africa’s hedge fund industry is regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority and has matured considerably, with a dedicated regulatory category for hedge funds since 2015. Beyond South Africa, smaller pockets of alternative investment activity exist in Botswana, Egypt , Kenya, and Mauritius, which serves as an offshore domicile for funds investing across the continent. Our Africa Hedge Fund List captures 33+ funds with detailed English-language contact data.

South African hedge funds employ a range of strategies shaped by the country’s unique market characteristics. Equity long/short is the most prevalent approach, with managers trading JSE-listed companies across the full market cap spectrum. South Africa’s deep fixed income and currency markets also support active macro and fixed income strategies, as managers navigate rand volatility, interest rate cycles, and government bond dynamics. Multi-strategy and market-neutral approaches are well-established, and several managers specialize in Africa-focused frontier market strategies — investing in equities, debt, and real assets across the broader continent. The country’s commodity exposure — South Africa is a major producer of gold, platinum, and other minerals — creates additional opportunities for resources-focused managers.

Each of the 33+ hedge fund listings includes 40 categories of verified information. Contact data includes company address, main phone and fax numbers, company website URL, main company email address, and direct email addresses for up to four key executives. You will also find each fund’s assets under management (AUM), 12-month and 24-month change in AUM, primary investment strategy, year the fund was launched, number of employees, number of clients, and current hiring status.

The Africa Hedge Fund List is formatted for immediate use. Sort and filter by country, city, AUM range, strategy type, or any other data field using Excel’s built-in tools. Whether you are building a targeted marketing campaign to reach South African hedge funds, researching the competitive landscape of African alternative investment managers, prospecting for new business across the continent, or identifying hedge funds in Africa that are actively hiring, this list gives you the data you need in a format you can use right away.
