Additional information
Business Review During this financial year,the company's primary focus has been on the finalisation of its investment strategy and the advanced preparatory work for the launch of the Nubia Growth Equity Emerging Markets Fund I. The company has secured capital commitments and currently retains significant assets in a designated investment account. These assets are being strategically held in readiness for deployment, pending the successful grant of the required authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The company is on track with its launch timeline, targeting FCA authorisation in Q4 2025, after which it will commence active investment operations. The company’s investment thesis is to generate superior, risk-adjusted returns by providing growth equity to transformative, scalable businesses within high-impact sectors namely Renewable Energy, Digital Infrastructure, Sustainable Logistics, and Agri-teh across key emerging markets in Africa, Asia, and South America. All prospective investments will be aligned with a robust ESG framework and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Results The company has not yet commenced its active investment activities and therefore did not generate trading income during the period.The directors have chosen to retain all capital within the company to fund the establishment of the fund and its future investment operations. The company's net assets at the year-end were approximately £7 million, held as liquid assets in preparation for the fund's launch. No dividend has been paid or is proposed for the year. The director who held office during the year and up to the date of this report was: Mr. Elijah Emmanuel Bey (Appointed 14 January 2022) Post-Balance Sheet Events There have been no significant events affecting the company since the end of the financial year that necessitate adjustment to the financial statements. Future Developments The directors anticipate that upon receipt of FCA authorisation,the company will begin the active deployment of capital into its pipeline of pre-vetted investment opportunities. The objective is to build a diversified portfolio aimed at delivering long-term capital appreciation for investors while driving measurable positive social and environmental impact in underserved markets.
