Lads I'm going through interviews with them - seem like a friendly bunch but has anyone worked with them or can comment on their sophistication given their focus on Africa? I'm exploring a lateral move and trying to get a sense of how their funds have done and how transferable my creds might be to other funds after spending some years at Actis.
Thanks all

Guess not
I worked with an associate on a deal. Smart, great education investors.
They are very active in my market and I know the team. Generally very smart people, humble, motivated and they have a very nice friendly culture. They are also very picky with deals. Happy to share details if you want over PM.
Hi OP,
I'm interviewing with Actis now, was hoping to drop you a PM but couldn't seem to access the necessary function (still learning how to navigate the website). I was hoping to find out more about the interview process? I understand that there's an initial conversation, followed by a case study, and a final chat with a partner. Wondering if you had any insights on each stage/notes based on your experience? Cheers.
Hi Pierheld,
I'm interviewing with Actis for the summer associate position. I wanted to how was your experience and what kind of questions were asked in interview with deal team, case study presentation round and the partner's round.
Would you be able to give me an idea about your experience?
Thanks!
I am very interested to know what is known about Actis too! If someone could share some insights it would be great!
Going through a first round interview now. My understanding is that they're going to be more focused on real estate and infrastructure, possibly a bit of a focus on renewable energy. Seen their name tagged to a few renewable energy deals in India, some data centres in China/SKorea.
Just know that they’re closing at least part of their African focused business and a few senior members are leaving
Thank you for replying
Would you recommend a specific path of getting hired in their middle east office?
Do they require MBA? or can you just get in after 2 years of EB IB as an associate?
Thanks!
I don't know how the middle east office functions. I know the summer associate position I'm interviewing for is usually meant for MBA students. I'm not doing my MBA, they might just be interested in the fact that I've gotten a bit of an infra background since I started working in 2019.
hey mate- how did you apply for the summer associate role? I can't see a platform for it on their website- do you know when they usually hire? thanks
I applied in Jan, but I'm not sure if that's the global window or just within my region (APAC)
