Kessner Capital's new Islamic-compliant private credit fund launches in Africa
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, a significant development emerges for the Ummah's economic advancement. Kessner Capital Management (KCM) has launched its pioneering private credit fund in Africa, operational since March 2024, bringing new opportunities for Islamic-compliant investment across the continent.
A Blessed Initiative for Economic Growth
Allah (SWT) has blessed the Muslim world with visionary leaders who understand the importance of ethical finance. Leading this initiative are two distinguished professionals, Bruno-Maurice Monny and Benny Osei, who have crafted a Shariah-conscious alternative to traditional banking systems.
'By the grace of Allah, we are not merely providing capital, but fostering partnerships that build sustainable prosperity,' explains Brother Monny. 'Our mission extends beyond financial returns to creating lasting positive impact in our communities.'
Addressing the Noble Cause of Economic Development
The World Bank reports an astounding $331 billion annual financing gap for African SMEs, presenting a profound opportunity for Islamic finance to demonstrate its strength. With Africa's economy projected to grow at 5.7% in 2025, Allah (SWT) has provided a timely opening for ethical investment.
A Distinguished Advisory Council
The fund is guided by an esteemed advisory council, including:
- Charles Millon, former French Defense Minister
- Colin Rezek, international investor
- Christiane de Livonnière, development finance advisor
- Frédéric Le Bourgeois, private equity veteran
Building Bridges Across the Muslim World
The initiative demonstrates the growing strength of Islamic finance, with support from NFG SA, a Swiss private holding company. This partnership exemplifies how Muslim investors can lead ethical development while maintaining profitable returns.
A Vision for Islamic Economic Leadership
'InshaAllah, Kessner Capital will pioneer a new chapter in Africa's access to structured finance,' declare the founders, emphasizing their commitment to both profitable and socially impactful investments that align with Islamic principles.
