Ryra Investments Ltd Information

We are a transaction advisory and investment firm for Africa focused private equity funds. Private equity is a form of commercial capital drawn from institutional investors (such as sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and insurance companies) and high net worth individuals, for the purpose of investing in privately held companies. This capital is used to provide long term funding, usually for a period of five years to ten years, primarily by acquiring shares or share linked instruments. At the end of this investment period, private equity will sell its ownership or investment in the business sometimes to the original owners or to another buyer, who can help the business continue its growth. Through the private equity investment companies usually get additional support besides capital that helps them to realize their targets, increase competitiveness and sustainability, create jobs and through improved performance, increase tax revenues for the country, At the same time, private equity supports institutions such as pensions funds by providing an alternative investment asset class that helps diversify their sources of earning. This is done by providing them with an avenue to invest in the opportunities they wound not have easy access to and that cover a larger interest and capital gains from the sale of the business. Consequently, economies in East Africa continue to benefit directly from the private equity industry’s ability to realize high value on their return on investment delivering the some superior returns to their pensions. Private equity works in partnership with governments by providing alternative funding to business, social and infrastructural projects. Private equity investments in East Africa contribute to the growth of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into region, a passion that has made the regions one of the forest growing in Africa.
