Why the Veri MPS Is the Natural Entry Point for African Asset Managers

Africa doesn’t lack investment talent.It lacks efficient structures.


Across the continent, asset managers face the same blockers:high fund setup costs, scarce seed capital, fragmented investor bases, long regulatory timelines, and complex cross-border market access.


In that environment, launching a traditional fund — often requiring $5–10 million just to be viable — is frequently unrealistic.


That’s where Veri’s Managed Portfolio Service (MPS) becomes transformative.

An MPS allows asset managers to run a fund-like strategy without launching a fund.


With Veri MPS, managers can:

  • Launch with as little as $10,000–$50,000

  • Operate within existing account and custody structures

  • Go to market in weeks, not years

  • Scale capital incrementally, not all at once


This fits African capital realities, where:

  • One $10m ticket is rare

  • One hundred $100k tickets is realistic


Built for Pan-African Strategies

Many of Africa’s most compelling strategies are multi-country, frontier-focused, or global–Africa hybrids.MPS supports this naturally — holding local, regional, and global instruments side by side, without the friction of cross-border fund structures.


Track Record Before Trust

In Africa, trust is earned through performance.Veri MPS lets managers build a live, real-world track record before asking for large institutional commitments.


Indicative NAV: Fund-Like Transparency

Veri MPS can also provide an indicative NAV, calculated centrally using latest available market prices.This delivers familiar, fund-style reporting — without the cost or complexity of full fund administration — helping advisers and investors track performance consistently and compare strategies like-for-like.


A Fund Incubator, Not a Shortcut

MPS isn’t “instead of a fund”.It’s the pre-fund stage:Idea → MPS launch → organic AUM growth → proven demand → optional fund conversion using existing assets as seed capital.


For Africa’s asset managers, this means:

  • Lower barriers to entry

  • Faster innovation

  • Less structural risk

  • Stronger, more sustainable fund launches later
