We are a fund manager with a difference serving the Pan African private equity landscape. Our approach is based on the fundamental universality of providing African entrepreneurs with a credible and supportive vehicle to assist them in their quest to create value for their countries, regions and ultimately, the continent.

As a fund manager of reference, Harith manages the continent’s only 15-year fund, the Pan African Infrastructure Development Fund (PAIDF).  It is the largest African initiative of its kind actively supported by leading African financial institutions to drive infrastructural development in the continent and to foster sustainable economic growth for all countries.

PAIDF is designed as a large-scale long-term fund, which allows Harith the time to build, nurture and develop each individual investment to optimise financial returns as well as obtain capital commitments from specific investors. The Fund seeks to invest in Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) across the African continent and is registered under the laws of the Republic of South Africa.

Harith Fund Managers possess the commercial, technical, and professional experience and resources required by investors to ensure quality performance of our chosen portfolio. Our goal is to provide superior returns to investors while  at the same time, doing good for the African continent through the provision of world class infrastructure.

The name Harith is derived from a North African word with a dual meaning – “plough and protector.” We recognise our role as positively ploughing the African continent and planting the seeds of the much needed infrastructure, while protecting the interests of all stakeholders, particularly those of our investors.

Harith Fund Managers has four main regional offices. It is headquartered in South Africa, but has representation in Tunisia, Ghana and London
