Consumer

 

At Actis, growing wealth and consumption in emerging markets is an underlying driver of many of our investments. As emerging market economies develop, personal wealth begins to rise as a natural consequence of increased economic activity. An emerging middle class and changing consumer attitudes have created an unprecedented demand for consumer goods and services in emerging markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

 

Actis is experienced in the Consumer sector and we use our platform of global-local expertise and international exposure to drive scale for our investee companies and create market leaders.

 

"Actis has added value from day one. They enabled the transition to happen smoothly from the Nilgiri's family to a professional team, they provided a large infusion of capital into the business, put in place strong corporate governance, brought in an illustrious board and have significantly expanded our regional footprint," VP of Operations for Nilgiri's.

 

Actis has led a number of ground-breaking deals in the consumer and retail industries, helping to meet the needs of a growing consumer population in emerging markets.
