Key Takeaways
For retail investors, especially those based outside Africa, who want to invest in Sub-Saharan Africa's economies, it's often a smarter choice to invest through a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF), whether actively or passively managed. These funds track a diverse group of companies operating in the region, instead of relying on individual stocks or ventures. Investing in ETFs and mutual funds has several advantages, such as being easy to trade, offering diversification, and being professionally managed.
