Our Core Values

Nile Capital Management LLC’s investment philosophy is shaped by core values that guide our investment process, research and trading decisions:

  • We focus on what we know and seek to identify investment opportunities in regions and industries where we have unique information or experience and a competitive edge. We know Africa.
  • We believe in Africa’s growth potential – We understand the dynamics that will transform Africa and help to grow its national economies in the 21st century. We believe growth-minded investors are rewarded when they recognize opportunities ahead of the crowd. Today’s investment opportunities in Africa are similar to those that existed in China, India and other parts of Asia a decade or two ago.
  • We believe active management, research and selectivity are key – Africa is a huge, diverse continent, and some promising ideas and concepts face formidable barriers to growth, such as a high cost of capital. We understand risk and dig deep into companies financial statements and operations to uncover the most attractive opportunities.
  • Experience and integrity are essential – Our principals have created strong track records of success in investment management while demonstrating a high degree of integrity. We invest our money beside our investors, and treat investors’ capital with the same prudence as our own.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Nile Pan Africa Fund. This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained by calling 1-877-68-AFRICA. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing. The Nile Pan Africa Fund is distributed by Northern Lights Distributors, LLC.

Mutual Funds involve risk, including possible loss of principal.  Because the Fund will invest the majority of its assets in African companies, it is highly dependent on the state of the African economy and the financial prospects of specific African companies.  Certain African markets are in only the earliest stages of development and may experience political and economic instability, capital market restrictions, unstable governments, weaker economies and less developed legal systems with fewer security holder rights.  Adverse changes in currency exchange rates may erode or reverse any potential gains from the Fund’s investments.  ETF’s are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the underlying strategy of the fund. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, as well as risks associated with fixed income securities, real estate investments, and commodities, to name a few.  Non-diversification risk, as the Funds are more vulnerable to events affecting a single issuer.  Investments in underlying funds that own small and mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations. The Fund’s exposure to companies primarily engaged in the natural resource markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in a wider variety of industries.  There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. In general, the price of a fixed income security falls when interest rates rise. The Fund may invest, directly or indirectly, in "junk bonds.”  Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks than higher quality debt securities.
