Amethis Investment Fund Manager, in partnership with Edmond de Rothschild Private Equity, has completed the final closing of Amethis Fund III at its target size of €406 million, marking a major milestone for Africa-focused private equity. Rather than focusing primarily on upstream oil and gas producers, Amethis Fund III is positioned to back local and regional companies that underpin Africa’s energy ecosystem. “Amethis Fund III exemplifies our shared conviction that long-term, responsible investment can unlock extraordinary potential across Africa. Amethis says the fund will help connect global investors with African entrepreneurs, supporting business growth, job creation and wider economic development across the continent. With Fund III, Amethis is positioning itself as a long-term partner to Africa’s energy value chain, backing the companies that enable large-scale energy projects to operate efficiently while building durable local capacity.
