EFG Holding

With an established track record spanning more than two decades, EFG Hermes Private Equity is one of the region’s leading private equity houses. The division’s success over the years stems from its ability to leverage the power of the EFG Hermes distribution platform across the region, its broad network of relationships, as well as public market intelligence through EFG Holding’s group-wide accrued insight. The division’s investments are mainly focused on 3 categories namely renewable energy investments through Vortex Energy, healthcare investment through Rx Healthcare and education Investment through Egypt Education Platform (EEP).

Energy

EFG Hermes launched its investment platform Vortex Energy in 2014 to invest in the global growing renewable energy sector. In a short timeframe, it became the largest investment manager of renewable energy investments in Europe. In 2019, EFG Hermes divested its 49.1% stake in a 998 MW pan-European portfolio, which spread across Spain, France, Portugal, and Belgium.

Healthcare

EFG Hermes launched Rx Healthcare Management (RxHM), a private equity investment management to address growing demand for high-quality healthcare products and services across Egypt, MENA, and Africa. It invests in highly selective targets, with a clear growth trajectory across healthcare verticals, giving investors access to unique opportunities across the sector’s value chain.

Education

EFG Hermes launched in December 2018 a USD 150 million fund dedicated to investing in Egypt’s K-12 education sector. The fund, in partnership with GEMS Education, the world’s leading K-12 education provider, seeks to establish a USD 300 million investment platform dedicated to investing in the growing and underserved K-12 education sector. The platform’s investments include (i) acquiring existing operational schools, (ii) securing land plots to develop new schools (greenfield developments)

Conventional Funds

EFG Hermes also invests in numerous other sectors ranging from real estate and manufacturing to the oil and gas industry, aiming to generate sustainable positive returns regardless of the industry. The Firm controls three funds which invest in diverse sectors across Egypt and the MENA region: Horus Food and Agribusiness Limited Partnership, EFG Capital Partners Fund III, L.P., and EFG Capital Partners Fund II, L.P.
