Fusion Group came into being in 2006, when two individuals from very different backgrounds fused their extensive experience to create what was, initially, an SME lending initiative.
Phil Goodwin had just sold his stake in Montagu Private Equity, where he had helped lead the management buy-out from HSBC. Before this, he had worked for 3i and HSBC Private Equity in Japan and Europe. But the African growth story struck him as unique, and he found himself drawn to the place, the people and the opportunity.
The capital base grew swiftly. The business model had evolved swiftly also. Although Fusion Capital (the business funding arm) continues to offer credit services, there had been a gradual move into private equity transactions, and other forms of investment.
We are building scale by remaining close to our chosen marketplace. We live where we invest, creating a unique pipeline of opportunities from our research and network of local contacts. “Keeping it real” is very important to us: successful investment outcomes are about good judgement, good relationships and good systems.
