INVESTMENT FUNDAMENTALS
Merdian Capital Limited and its affiliates (“Meridian Capital”) seeks out global investment opportunities with favourable long-term fundamentals. We operate in emerging and frontier markets, often in partnership with industry leaders and talented entrepreneurs. We carefully select our investments to ensure that they have a broader social, developmental or environmental impact in their sector and operating environment. Whether it is in dairy where we supportively work through the value chain from farm to shelf and promote sustainable packaging or in enabling entrepreneurs through micro-finance initiatives.
We seek out opportunities that have the capacity to deliver high returns on investment; are innovative in their sector; and have an impact on wealth creation and social value in their operating environment.
We have built our company and investment ethos around three fundamental pillars:
Invest | Innovate | Impact

UK LISTED | Afentra Pty Ltd
At Meridian Capital, we firmly believe in the importance of a responsible energy transition. In the African Oil & Gas industry, we recognize the global trend of operator transitions, where International Oil Companies (IOCs) are seeking to responsibly divest from assets that are either nearing the end of their lifecycle, not significant in scale, or have a high carbon footprint. Simultaneously, we understand the imperative for developing nations to efficiently harness their natural resources, creating long-term social and economic value. That’s why we have chosen to invest in Afentra, as their seasoned management team possesses the expertise to leverage their energy ecosystem, revitalize existing producing fields, and unlock the potential of untapped discoveries that may no longer align with the strategies of major companies. Through our investments in the African region, collaborative partnerships, and empowerment of local communities, we aim to make a positive impact on local economies and generate economic returns for all stakeholders.
