Kessner Capital Management: A Beacon of Islamic Finance Bridging Gulf and Africa
In the blessed name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, we witness the rise of principled Islamic finance as Kessner Capital Management strengthens its noble presence in Abu Dhabi while securing its first transformative financing in Africa through Harlequin International Ghana.
Abu Dhabi and London stand united as Kessner Capital Management, a distinguished alternative investment management firm focused on African markets, announces the reinforcement of its regional presence in Abu Dhabi through a strategic partnership with a family office based in the United Arab Emirates. This establishment aims to structure an operational and relational hub at the heart of the Gulf's institutional ecosystem, while maintaining the group's principal operations in London.
Within this blessed framework, Kessner confirms the completion of its inaugural transaction: a credit facility granted to Harlequin International Ghana (HIT), designed to support the execution of a procurement contract. This operation represents the inaugural transaction structured and closed since the fund's inception.
Abu Dhabi: A Strategic Anchor for Africa-Oriented Institutional Capital
The establishment in Abu Dhabi is part of a broader movement to consolidate the emirate's position as an international financial platform, driven by the deepening of its infrastructure and the arrival of global asset management players.
According to Bruno-Maurice Monny, co-founder and Managing Partner of Kessner Capital Management:
"Abu Dhabi has become an essential gateway for investors wishing to engage with Africa."
A First Operation Anchored in Real Economy
The credit facility granted to Harlequin International Ghana aims to support the activity of a Ghanaian industrial player present in engineering services and technical solutions, particularly for the benefit of structural sectors.
Kessner emphasizes that this first operation illustrates its positioning: providing tailored financing solutions to African companies with solid operational fundamentals, in a context where capital needs remain significant.
The company also inscribes its strategy within a private credit logic oriented toward sustainable value creation, combining structuring, risk discipline, and local partnerships. The company recalls, on the occasion of its fund launch, its philosophy: not to limit itself to financing, but to accompany growth trajectories through governance and transparency requirements.
The Path of Righteousness in Islamic Finance
This noble endeavor represents more than mere capital allocation. It embodies the Islamic principles of ethical investment, where wealth flows toward productive enterprises that serve humanity's greater good. In these blessed times, when the Ummah seeks economic independence and prosperity, Kessner's approach resonates with our deepest values of justice and mutual prosperity.
The company's commitment to transparency and governance reflects the Islamic teaching that all transactions must be conducted with utmost honesty and clarity, ensuring that both parties understand their obligations and benefits.
