GOVERNMENTS AND PUBLIC BODIES
GIG provides transaction advisory and structured finance services to governments, state-owned enterprises, and development institutions focused on infrastructure and capital-intensive projects. We advise on project structuring, capital raising, concession agreements, and public-private partnerships where the transaction size typically ranges between US$1 million and US$5 billion and aligns with our infrastructure investment thesis.
Every mandate is supported by Artelligence, our proprietary risk and capital analytics platform calibrated to African market conditions. This delivers credit-risk modelling, transaction-structuring optimisation, and portfolio-level monitoring that ensure bankable, syndicable outcomes. We advise where we can structure. We structure where we can capitalise. We capitalise where we can build enduring infrastructure assets. Our role is not to manage public assets or deliver policy reform. We originate and structure transactions that enable governments to attract private and institutional capital while advancing critical infrastructure in energy, transport, and telecommunications. Advisory serves as the front door to GIG Private Credit, which deploys our own capital alongside aligned co-investors, creating a seamless pipeline from mandate to deployment.
CURRENT AREAS OF FOCUS
In this phase of our institutional build, GIG concentrates on three areas where we deliver distinctive execution capability:
- Infrastructure Project Finance & Structuring: We engineer bankable project-finance transactions and concession agreements for energy, transport, and telecommunications infrastructure. Services include bid strategy development, financial modelling with integrated sensitivity and scenario analysis, capital-stack optimisation, revenue-model design, and risk allocation that makes projects attractive to institutional capital. All structures are stress-tested using Artelligence for currency, regulatory, and macroeconomic resilience specific to African markets.
- Concession & Public-Private Partnership Advisory: We design durable concession frameworks and PPP structures with clear performance regimes, tariff mechanisms, and sovereign guarantee alignment. Our focus is on creating transactions that are commercially compelling, fiscally responsible, and capable of syndication while preserving public accountability and long-term asset stewardship.
- Capital Raising & Syndication Support: We assist sovereign and public-sector sponsors in preparing assets and projects for co-investment alongside GIG’s own balance sheet. This includes consortium structuring, local-content integration, and transaction documentation that accelerates mobilisation of private credit and institutional capital.
- Selectivity and Discipline: GIG accepts public-sector mandates only when they meet our three core criteria: credible counterparty, attractive risk-adjusted economics on a 12–18 month private-credit horizon or long-term infrastructure basis, and contribution to our institutional track record. We structure every transaction to retain origination economics while transparently syndicating risk to aligned partners. This discipline protects public value and accelerates GIG’s progression from advisory through private credit toward full banking capabilities.
As our platform matures, the opportunity set will expand to include sovereign-linked transactions and broader pan-African deployment, always governed by the same selectivity and analytical discipline.
