About Revego Fund Managers

Revego Fund Managers (RFM) is a South African based investment manager, primarily focused on investing in renewable energy assets across sub-Saharan African (SSA).

Founded in 2019, RFM’s investment philosophy is grounded in active asset management through board stewardship and deliberate engagement with management teams to drive sustainable shared value for investors and communities. This allows RFM to unlock value enhancements which are underpinned by strong governance principles.

The RFM management team’s experience in renewable energy, infrastructure finance, M&A, investment banking and capital raising spans over 60 years and is further bolstered by an investment committee consisting of industry experts and experienced investment officers.

Revego Fund Managers has a mandate to manage third party funds and holds a Category II FSP Licence issued under FAIS, allowing it to provide intermediary services on a discretionary basis.

Our Why

The SSA electricity sector requires major investment over the next 25 years as more than 600 million people in SSA currently live without access to electricity.

To meet this need, a blend of public and private funds must act in a coordinated effort to enable the growth of the renewable energy sector. A significant portion of this investment will be led by the private sector. The Revego Africa Energy Fund that is managed by RFM, is well-positioned to capitalise on this urgent need for investment.

The Revego Africa Energy Fund’s mandate is primarily focused on acquiring de-risked operating renewable energy assets. This provides developers and early-stage investors with an exit opportunity to recycle their capital towards the development of new megawatts. Consequently, investors in Revego Africa Energy Fund gain access to long-term inflation-linked, sustainable cashflows.
