Man Capital

Investing with purpose

Man Capital, the investment management arm of the Mansour Group, invests with impact and purpose, creating opportunities and changing lives. The firm provides long-term capital to a range of projects and sectors including schools, solar farms, technology companies, logistics providers, football clubs and academies and healthcare firms.

Man Capital was set up by Sir Mohamed Mansour in 2010 to provide long-term capital and strategic support to innovative businesses and talented entrepreneurs around the world.

The firm invests across multiple sectors, and both developed and developing markets, leveraging its management and strategic expertise, global network, long-standing partnerships, and relationships with Fortune 500 companies. Strategic positions in high-growth and sustainable companies span a range of sectors, including education, healthcare, logistics, renewable energy, real estate, sports, technology and telecommunications. Operating free of the exit needs associated with private equity firms, Man Capital is a long-term partner to the companies in which it invests and the communities in which they operate.

The social as well as economic impact of its investing matters enormously to the firm and is driving significant investments in wind and solar energy projects, schools, healthcare companies, tech firms and football academies, among other sectors. Based in London, Man Capital draws on the experience of one of the most successful entrepreneurs of the last 50 years, Sir Mohamed Mansour. Experience and expertise as well as capital are provided, nurturing the companies that Man Capital invests with and helping them to develop and grow.

Creating value for communities and the broader economy are integral to Man Capital’s investment philosophy and are reflected in the firm’s investment portfolio. Investments in the education sector – through Inspired Education, a global network of independent schools, and College Dekho, a fast-growing education services provider in India – reflect the firm’s belief that education is the most important driver of social mobility. Lack of access to healthcare, telecoms and energy infrastructure across Africa has led to investments in a diagnostics platform (Echolab), one of Africa’s leading telecoms infrastructure providers (IHS Towers), and the largest renewable energy company in Africa (Infinity). Man Capital’s early-stage technology investments underscore its belief in the sector’s transformative power on enterprises and communities.

Man Capital believes in the role sports can play in liberating young people from an otherwise lifelong socio-economic trap. In 2021 the firm acquired Right to Dream, a community of football academies, clubs and educational establishments in the USA, Ghana, Egypt and Denmark. Man Capital’s investment has been directed to establishing a Right To Dream Academy in Egypt and furthering the activities of the Right To Dream Academy in Ghana, the FC Nordsjælland premier league club and academy in Denmark, and expanding women’s and girls’ programs across the organization. In 2023, a football club in California was established and will enter Major League Soccer as San Diego FC in 2025.

Since inception over a decade ago, Man Capital has built a worldwide investment firm with strategic positions across industries and geographies. It has successfully identified high-potential companies and used its expertise and global presence to help them grow into industry leaders. Looking to the future, the firm remains a pioneer investor focused on investing for the next generation by prioritizing investments in new technologies and clean energy, among other sectors.
