Who is Tutu Agyare\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Tutu Agyare (age 55, Ghanaian) was appointed as a non-executive Director in August 2010.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He is currently a Managing Partner at Nubuke Investments, an asset management firm focused solely on Africa, which he founded in 2007.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Previously, he had a 21-year career with UBS Investment Bank, holding a number of senior positions, most recently as the Head of European Emerging Markets, and served on the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n
Tutu Agyare, left UBS Investment Bank in 2007 to found Nubuke. The principals perceived that there were very few managers who truly understood the opportunities available in Africa and fewer still who have the knowledge and contacts that would allow them to exploit such opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nubuke was established to offer investors a diverse platform to access the dynamic economic growth and the structural changes, occurring in key capital markets across the African continent.\u00a0
