Do You Have Fire In Your  Belly?

If you do, and are interested in building a career in the investment and real estate sectors of the economy, Centum is the place for you.

Centum is the leading Investment Company in the East Africa with shares listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange and the Uganda Securities Exchange.

Our vision is to be Africa’s foremost investment channel, and we look to create real, tangible wealth by providing the channel through which investors access and build extraordinary enterprises in Africa.

Our investments span across three principal business lines; Private Equity, Real Estate & Infrastructure and Quoted Private Equity. As at 30 September 2012, our assets under management (AUM) were valued at approximately Kshs 19 Billion. We have targeted to grow these assets to Kshs 30 Billion over the next year.

In Private Equity we focus on acquisition of controlling and significant minority equity positions in unlisted companies that largely serve the needs of the domestic and other African markets. Investments in PE are made directly by Centum and will in the near future also be through management of third party funds.

In Real Estate we focus on conversion of bare land into premium world class mixed use destinations.

Our Quoted Equity business leverages on Private Equity expertise to invest in listed securities in Security Exchanges across Africa.

We recognize people as our key strength and are the backbone of our success. As such we seek to strengthen our leadership bench through recruitment of young leaders who have recently graduated or are in the final year of undergraduate study in universities across East Africa.
