Enko Capital , the Africa-focused investment firm led by Cameroonian financier Alain Nkontchou, has secured 100 million in the first close of its flagship private credit fund. The fund is aiming for a final size of 150 million, with an upper cap of 200 million, and is designed to widen access to finance for mid-sized African companies that often struggle to borrow at reasonable terms.
The announcement came during the World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings in October 2025. The deal ranks among the continents biggest private credit moves this year and reflects growing confidence among investors that Africas middle market can deliver steady returns while creating jobs and boosting local economies.
