Alta Semper Capital

Alta Semper Capital is a private equity firm established in 2015 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The firm focuses on investing in selective growth markets across Africa, primarily targeting the consumer goods and healthcare sectors. Recently, Alta Semper announced an $18 million investment in HealthPlus, Nigeria's leading retail pharmacy chain, aimed at expanding its retail presence and strengthening its market position. The healthcare and retail sectors in Nigeria are characterized by increasing demand due to favorable demographics and heightened consumer awareness, despite the challenges posed by a fragmented market and a high prevalence of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. With much of the country's healthcare infrastructure concentrated in urban areas, there remains a significant opportunity for growth in the formal retail market, which is notably underdeveloped compared to the population size. Alta Semper seeks to capitalize on these dynamics by investing in market-leading businesses within defensive sub-sectors of the economy.
