Nile Capital Management manages the Nile Pan Africa Fund. The Fund seeks to provide long term capital appreciation through investments in the stocks of African-based companies. Under normal market conditions, the Fund typically invests at least 80% of its assets in the stocks of public companies that have the majority of their assets in Africa and/or that derive a majority of their revenues from Africa. Investments are broadly diversified across the most attractive regions and countries in Africa. NCM employs top-down macroeconomic analysis that evaluates and ranks African nations based on economic growth, inflation, interest rates, currency, regulatory framework and political ability. The firm also employs bottom-up fundamental analysis to identify the most attractive companies in selected markets. Their fundamental analysis focuses on the following factors: (1) cash flow return on investment (2) return on invested capital (3) strength and stability of company management and (4) prospects for sustained earnings growth. NCM also looks for companies with sound balance sheets with reasonable debt, strong products with competitive advantages and sound accounting policies and corporate governance. Though not limited by sector, NCM tends to invest in the stocks of companies in the energy minerals, non-energy minerals, finance and retail sectors. The firm invests primarily in Africa and Europe.
