Pecora Capital: What We Know About The Firm That Will Help Nigeria Raise $2 billion
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

U.S. fund manager Pecora Capital announced on Tuesday that it will help Nigeria raise over $2 billion over the next 18 months for Nigerian infrastructure projects.

“As a long-term investor we see a time of crisis as an opportunity,” Aaron Smith, Managing Director of Pecora, told Reuters. He expected the fund to achieve returns of 25 percent a year over its 7-year lifespan.

Surprised at his optimism in investing in Nigeria at a time when foreign investors are adamant he explained as follows;

“I understand that is a concern and we’ve thought about it but we definitely don’t foresee over the timeframe we’ve set out that we’ll have any problems getting money out of the country,” Smith said.

“The fundamentals and demographics in Nigeria, in terms of population, in terms of infrastructure deficits, all offer huge opportunity and the availability of high returns.”

According to Reuters, Smith said areas of possible investment included agriculture, telecommunications and transport as the fund hopes to take advantage of the huge demand for improved infrastructure in a country of around 190 million people. The Nigerian fund will be based in the Cayman Islands and hopes to attract investment from the U.S., Asia and Europe.

We also decided to dig into Pecora with a view to finding out who they are and what they do. Here is what we got so far;
