Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem
to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
The design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon.
Thanks

In addition to the ETFs you listed, we run an actively managed Africa-only Fund (NAFAX) which may be worth a look. Contact us for more information!

Thank you for voicing your opinion on East Africa. I do have 15 acres in Kampala that need development. Any venture capitalists are welcome to discuss business. East Africa does have alot of potential and we need investors to move things forward.

Great article! Confirms what most us have been witnessing as we travel around Africa esp. East Africa. Boundless energy and optimism. The innovations in Kenyan ICT sector is a must watch on the global stage.

I own 8 acres of land in Kenya, close to Nairobi the capital city. As a native, I am looking for serious investors in real estate development to create the much needed housing.

Zimbabwe has more opportunities for those who are willing to go beyond the newspaper stories. The literacy rate is high and so is the warmth of the Zimbabwean. The work ethic is good and the infrastructure is not as bad as in other countries. Politically, we have challenges, but then who doesn’t? Come see for yourself.

Thanks Ryan for your perspective and for the generosity to share this widely. Next you need to head to Moçambique!

This has to be the most awesome post I’ve ever seen. My favorite part is though has to be the disclaimer on the stock. But still, I think I’m going sell a portion of my US shares and put them on the Uganda and Nairobi exchanges. A …good broker over here is:

Also real estate is a great investment here. You should seriously consider the idea of buying some property in suburbs of Kampala, and I’m happy to act as your broker

But overall what an amazing list of resources for people interested in the region.
