We combine patient capital with hands-on partnership so impact grows from the ground up. Every investment starts with capital and partnership planted directly into a business and its community. From there, growth branches outward — into stronger enterprises, empowered people, and a more resilient environment. Roots Patient capital, strategic expertise, and active partnership with entrepreneurs. Growth High-potential enterprises scale sustainably in agriculture, agri-processing, agri-tech and manufacturing. Canopy Resilient businesses, empowered communities, and inclusive economic growth across Africa.

Regulatory disclosure ## SFDR disclosure Our investment strategy is designed to promote sustainable outcomes and aligns with the requirements of Article 9 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. Below is a summary of how this applies to Oxano Capital in practice. What Article 9 means for us? Article 9 applies to financial products that have sustainable investment as their explicit objective — not simply as a consideration alongside financial return. It sets a higher bar than products that only promote environmental or social characteristics. How do we apply it? We seek to invest in companies and projects that contribute to measurable environmental and/or social objectives, while ensuring investments do not significantly harm any other sustainability objective, and that investee companies follow good governance practices. How do we handle due diligence & monitoring? We maintain robust due diligence, sustainability assessment, and ongoing monitoring processes to evaluate alignment with our sustainability objectives throughout the life of an investment, and to support transparent reporting to our stakeholders. Where can I find further information? Further information on our sustainability methodology, principal adverse impact considerations, and periodic disclosures is available on request, or in the relevant fund documentation.
