XSML CAPITAL LTD.

XSML Capital Ltd is a private-sector fund manager incorporated in Mauritius and operating across Central, East and Southern Africa. XSML provides growth capital through debt, equity and mezzanine finance, combined with operational support, to small and medium-sized enterprises in frontier markets. XSML maintains local teams in several African countries and works with development finance institutions and specialist partners to support sustainable enterprise growth.

XSML integrates climate mitigation, adaptation and decarbonization into the organization’s investment approach, with priority sectors including energy systems, water and waste, food security and sustainable mobility. XSML’s climate-related experience includes financing solar power, organic-waste recycling and energy-efficiency services.

XSML brings a locally anchored investment approach focused on smaller enterprises in African frontier and least developed country markets, where access to climate finance remains constrained. Its flexible use of debt, equity and mezzanine instruments addresses financing gaps for businesses whose investment needs may fall below the typical transaction size of larger financial institutions. By combining growth capital with technical assistance, XSML seeks to scale locally led climate solutions and climate-resilient enterprises.
