The Coronation Capital Limited and Trium, subsidiaries of Coronation Group Limited, said their sponsorship of the 2025 African Private Capital Association reflects an ongoing commitment to driving Africa’s economic transformation through capital stewardship, innovation, and intergenerational financial strategies.
The company announced this in a statement obtained by The PUNCH. It added that the event held last week in Lagos was themed, ‘Bold Moves: Powering 10x in Africa’
According to the statement, the conference is Africa’s largest private capital gathering, “convening investors, fund managers, family offices, and policymakers from across the continent and beyond.”
“As a trusted partner in sustainable wealth creation, Coronation’s sponsorship reflects its ongoing commitment to driving Africa’s economic transformation through capital stewardship, innovation, and intergenerational financial strategies,” the statement read in part.
The statement explained that Coronation and Trium are actively shaping the investment conversation around scalable, sustainable models for private capital deployment.
It maintained that this year’s conference explored the evolving role of family offices, climate-smart investing, infrastructure financing, and pathways to deepen institutional participation in Africa’s growth journey.
Speaking during one of the panel sessions at the event, Managing Partner at Coronation Capital Limited and Senior Adviser at Tengen Family Office, Kayode Akindele, lent his voice to the critical dialogue around local capital mobilisation.
“There’s been an over-dependence on developmental money that isn’t sustainable. If you want to set the agenda and ensure long-term progress, African entities need to fund African priorities. Family offices, in particular, must become strategic allocators, not just silent participants. We are proud to stand with AVCA in pushing this narrative forward,” Akindele said.
The Chief Executive Officer of Trium, Adebayo Adewolu, emphasised the need for context-specific investment vehicles led by African institutions.
“Africa needs capital that understands its rhythm, patient, strategic, and committed. AVCA creates a space where investment vision meets local insight. As a member of the Coronation Group, Trium is proud to sponsor this platform, not just as a participant, but as a builder of tailored capital solutions for African ambitions,” Adewolu said.
The AVCA Annual Conference, now in its 21st year, has established itself as the continent’s foremost private capital gathering. By anchoring their presence at AVCA 2025, Coronation Capital Limited and Trium reaffirm their collective vision to drive a continent transformed by African capital, for African prosperity.
