Noah was instructed to build the ark from gopher wood — precise, enduring, and divinely appointed — Goneke Investment Group is built with the same intentionality, wisdom, and strength. In a world of uncertainty and upheaval, we are an ark for capital and purpose, preserving value through every storm

Goneke Investment Group (GIG) has cultivated a world-class reputation for effectively collaborating with large industrial partners, unlocking access to exclusive transactions that remain out of reach for most financial investors. These opportunities are typically unavailable to those unable to commit significant equity or lacking the collaborative prowess required to navigate complex deals. The transactions we pursue—characterized by their intricacy, substantial equity requirements, and the imperative for a partner with a proven track record—face limited competition. This exclusivity stems from GIG’s ability to deliver real value and foster productive, trust-based relationships with industry giants, positioning us as a preferred partner for high-stakes investments. When you trust GIG with your investment, you’re aligning with a firm that not only understands these markets’ intricacies but also has the demonstrated capacity to drive superior outcomes through strategic partnerships.

Our ability to originate proprietary transactions hinges on our deep industry knowledge and extensive network of relationships, which together form the bedrock of our competitive edge. We possess keen insights into market trends and developments—such as the rise of renewable energy demand in Africa or the expansion of logistics hubs under AfCFTA—that enable us to identify unique investment opportunities before they become widely recognized. Simultaneously, our strong connections with key industry players, including multinational corporations, and governments across multiple continents position us as a go-to partner for strategic infrastructure assets. Whether it’s negotiating with a regional energy authority for a hydropower project or partnering with a global real estate developer on an urban renewal initiative, these relationships grant us privileged access to deals that others simply cannot replicate.

Almost all of our equity fund investments are proprietary or arise in situations where GIG holds a distinct advantage, reflecting our deliberate focus on exclusivity and impact. We target larger transactions—such as multi-billion-dollar infrastructure projects or transformative industrial ventures—that demand both significant capital and sophisticated expertise. This focus allows us to channel the capabilities of our Business Intelligence Team toward a select number of portfolio companies, rather than diluting efforts across numerous smaller deals. By concentrating our resources, we achieve significant performance improvements—through operational enhancements, technological upgrades, or market expansion—and unlock scale benefits that amplify returns. For example, we might optimise a transportation asset to double its throughput, yielding a 12% IRR, or reposition a real estate holding to increase its value by 15%, demonstrating our ability to transform assets into industry leaders.

Our proprietary origination strategy enhances our capacity to drive significant value creation, delivering superior outcomes for our investors. The limited competition for these complex, equity-intensive deals—combined with our proven track record of successful collaborations—enables us to secure favorable terms, mitigate risks, and maximize returns. Our deep industry knowledge informs every stage of the investment process, from identifying high-potential opportunities to executing strategies that enhance asset performance during our holding periods. By partnering with GIG, investors gain access to a firm that not only excels at sourcing exclusive transactions but also leverages its expertise to achieve exceptional, risk-adjusted returns—whether it’s a 10% yield from an energy project or a 14% IRR from a real estate venture—making us a reliable steward of your capital in the pursuit of long-term prosperity.
