THE BAOBAB TREE

As distinctly African symbols, Baobab trees aren’t just known for providing shade and nourishment but
they are also a central part of tradition, legend and folks lore. It is believed that Kings and elders would hold their meetings under the Baobab tree, with the belief that the tree’s spirits would guide them to successful
decision-making. The baobab is the listening tree and stand proud as a true symbol of life in Africa.

Adansonia Management Services Limited

Mauritius, located between Asia and Africa, is an efficient regulated Global Financial Centre. The island offers a wide range of Double Taxation and Investment Promotion and Protection Agreements. It is not subject to exchange controls, provides access to the LCIA-MIAC Arbitration Centre and has its highest Court of Appeal as the Privy Council, thus making it the ideal strategic gateway for foreign investment into Africa.

Mauritian efforts to follow international best business practices and sustainable development have been acknowledged by international agencies such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Financial Action Task Force and the World Bank.

Adansonia Management Services Limited (“Adansonia”) provides services to International Investment funds, Corporates and Family Offices who have chosen Mauritius as their investment base. Through its promoters, Adansonia has conducted business and has existing relationships, in countries including but not limited to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, Mozambique, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Senegal, Malawi, Democratic Republic of Congo, United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and certain countries in South East Asia. In line with the recent Mauritian budget, we will continue to encourage International Funds not only to establish their back office functions, but also their front offices in Mauritius.

The key components of Adansonia’s business will be leveraging off the proven track record of the promoters, which total 50 years plus collective business experience, consisting of Legal and Corporate, Mauritian Offshore and Global Private Equity experience. In addition to this, the execution and delivery of ongoing administration and accounting services will be done by locally recruited industry professionals with considerable offshore experience.
