ARCH Emerging Markets Partners Limited (ARCH) was founded in March 2018 and is a specialist investment advisor with deep emerging market, private equity, asset management and legal and governance experience. We employ a tier-one governance platform, including finance, legal, compliance, investor relations and ESG functions, to support our funds and deliver added value to our investments. 

Through our advisory themes, ARCH’s investment decisions are based on a commitment to environmental sustainability, social responsibility and ethical behaviour. We measure our success not just by profits, but by impact, as demonstrated by the Development Finance Institutions that have supported our strategies.

ARCH offers funds and strategies to global institutional investors in sectors and geographies that can be difficult to access as offshore investors. ARCH can offer these unique strategies through an experienced structuring and distribution skillset and by establishing strategically focused vehicles to target specific opportunities. ARCH executives have extensive experience managing and investing in high-growth businesses in emerging markets, with strong local networks and a focus on early-life cycle development where they seek to unlock growth and create sustainable returns for investors.

The company has as shareholders JCH & Partners and African Rainbow Capital, the African financial services company established in 2015 by Ubuntu-Botho Investments (the private capital vehicle of Patrice Motsepe). ARCH’s shareholders bring a wealth of experience in emerging markets and private equity, whilst senior executives within ARCH have been founders of numerous asset management start-up businesses, representing international and global operations.

ARCH is currently advising on investments for two emerging markets focused strategies (Renewable Energy and Logistics / Cold Chain Solutions Platforms) and a global strategy (Sustainable Natural Resources).
