Stewards Investment Capital partners with PIAfrica 2026 for a third consecutive year, Africa’s leading conference for institutional investors across alternative investments, private markets and pension funds

PIAfrica is one of the biggest and most important gatherings in Africa for exploring alternative investment opportunities. With African pension funds and sovereign wealth funds managing more than USD 2 trillion in assets, institutional investors across West, East, Southern and North Africa are accelerating diversification into private markets, infrastructure, credit, and alternative investments, while adapting to evolving regulation, governance expectations, and global uncertainty.

Held under the theme “Empowering Africa’s Institutional Capital for Growth and Development,” PIAfrica 2026 will tackle the most pressing issues facing institutional investors today. Discussions will span regulatory agility, trustee capacity-building, infrastructure and climate-aligned investment, private equity and venture capital, private credit and trade finance, and innovative approaches to risk management and diversification. The conference, bringing together pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, regulators, and public-sector investors, is expected to offer thoughtful perspectives on how to translate long-term capital into sustainable economic impact.

This year, the distinguished lineup of global speakers will include experts from various investment sectors such as infrastructure, private credit and trade finance, private equity and venture capital, asset management, development finance, ESG and sustainable investing, capital markets regulation, and insurance and employee benefits.
