It was in 1953 that our forebears sowed the seeds of Sarona, investing in Sarona Dairies, Fortuna Shoes and other small businesses in South America. They soon expanded their portfolio to sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.
Throughout the many changes and reinventions that have defined our 67-year history, including the 10 years since the birth of the modern Sarona Asset Management, two things have remained constant: a) we have always been wholly focused on emerging markets; and b) we have always striven for a clear double vision: strong financial returns and social/environmental impact.

Investing from a distance is unnerving. Peru is so far away from UK, and Indonesia so far from USA. There's no way you can keep an eye on your Brazilian communications company or your Kenyan bank. That's where we come in. We are here to lose sleep so that you don't have to. As stewards of your capital, it is our job to keep watch, day and night.
We believe that applying social and environmental values to each investment decision builds a better world for current and future generations. We further believe that such values help generate strong businesses and strong financial returns. Delivering capital to entrepreneurs in emerging markets is inherently impactful - our trade finance gives life to SMEs that would otherwise wither, and our private equity gives breath to growing businesses.
