The Africa Sovereign Investors Forum (ASIF), in partnership with the Fundo Soberano de Angola (FSDEA), today announces that Angola’s capital will host the ASIF 5th Annual Meeting. The meeting will take place from 5 to 7 July 2026 at the Intercontinental Miramar Hotel in Luanda.
The event will convene representatives of ASIF’s 17 member sovereign wealth funds, alongside senior government officials, international institutional investors, and global thought leaders, to advance a continental agenda centred on strategic, self-financed development.
Angola’s selection as host reflects its increasing role as a continental anchor for long-term investment and economic diplomacy. The country has been advancing a shift towards institutional capital management, positioning FSDEA as a diversified sovereign investor across infrastructure, agriculture, real estate, and financial markets.
The 2026 Annual Meeting will unfold against a backdrop of a constrained global environment and evolving investment dynamics. It reflects a growing consensus that Africa’s transformation will increasingly depend on the strategic mobilisation and coordinated deployment of its own institutional capital.
‘Angola is proud to open its doors to Africa’s sovereign investor community. Hosting the ASIF Annual Meeting reflects our conviction that Angola — and Africa as a whole — must build and deploy the financial institutions capable of driving our own transformation.’ — Armando Manuel, Chairman, FSDEA.
‘The ASIF Annual Meeting is the moment at which Africa’s institutional investors take stock of where the continent stands and decide, collectively, where to direct its capital next. This year in Luanda, we meet against a backdrop of a constrained global environment, accelerating structural change and evolving investment landscape. Our agenda reflects these realities head-on, as we are no longer asking whether African sovereign capital can play a transformative role, but rather putting the focus on how to structure it, deploy it, and scale it effectively.’ — Obaid Amrane, Chairman of ASIF.
Since its establishment in Rabat in June 2022, ASIF has evolved into a forum comprising 17 member institutions, representing billions of dollars in assets under management. Through the ASIF Investment Platform (ASIF IP), the Forum aims to mobilise up to USD 50 billion in blended finance by 2030.
