Biography

Rupert McCammon graduated from the Cass Business School, City University London, with a 1st Class (Hons) degree in Banking & International Finance in 1991. He was responsible for managing the Botswana Stock Exchange, and Botswana’s only stockbroking company in the mid-1990s, at a time when the Botswana Stock Exchange was one of the best performing stock exchanges in the world. He established the Capital Group, a financial services group in 1998, and expanded the Group in 2005 to include Capital Resources LLP, a UK registered and FSA regulated entity, with a focus on Africa’s rapidly developing infrastructure, energy and resource sector. The company has been renamed African Investments Limited. African Investments Limited also runs two digital platforms which won the global Salesforce Partner Innovation Award for Financial Services in 2022. The Africa Business Opportunities Dashboard, focused on matching business, trade and investment opportunities in Africa, and the African Investments Dashboard which matches institutional investor ready investment opportunities to Africa’s leading investors. He has travelled extensively across all parts of Africa, and invested in companies operating in many parts of Africa. He established the AFSIC – Investing in Africa Conference in 2013 as a way to raise the profile of Africa as an investment destination, to specifically highlight quality African investment opportunities, and to accelerate the inward flow of investment from global investors into Africa. The event has become perhaps Africa’s most important investment event.
