Kenya: Private Equity At Centre of Dealmaking

Viewed differently, it is the use of privately owned funds for direct investment into privately owned companies. GA_googleFillSlot(“AllAfrica_Story_Inset”); The Capital Markets Act defines a Venture Capital (VC) Fund as "a company approved by the Authority and incorporated for purposes of providing risk capital to small and medium- sized businesses in Kenya with high growth potential whereby not less than 80 per cent of the funds so invested consist of equity or quasi equity investment in eligible enterprises". VC is similar to PE, save for the fact that VCs tend to be associated with start ups while PE investors look at investing in running businesses, although in ordinary parlance, VC is commonly substituted for PE. Thus, traditionally, PE was split into VC funds and buy out funds. Buy out funds, as the name suggests, were used to buy out an entrepreneurs’ interest in the business that had existed for some time. With time, and increased global interest in PE today, PE and PE houses can be classified by stage, size, ownership, specialisation and purpose among other bases. The two most common forms of PE by stage are Venture Funds and Buy Out or Leveraged Buy Outs (LBO’s).
