DIVISIONS
TRANS-CENTURY seeks out companies that are fundamentally viable, with a clearly competitive, well defined market position and good growth prospects.
TRANS-CENTURY targets opportunities in industry sectors where it has or can easily acquire knowledge and expertise.
TRANS-CENTURY invests in companies that have the capacity to derive synergies or enhance the competitive position of its other portfolio companies. 
TRANS-CENTURY does not shy away from companies that are underperforming due to weak management; and as part of its value creation strategy and leveraging on its network and reputation will, if necessary, endeavour to install new management, structures and systems.
Where TRANS-CENTURY is not acquiring control it seeks to align itself with like-minded partners that possess a strong value creation heritage.
Private Equity / Unquoted Investments
These are investments in unlisted companies that TRANS-CENTURY may make either on its own or in partnership with co-investors. TRANS-CENTURY prefers to invest in opportunities where it can play an active board direction role and continuously create value.
Listed Investments
TRANS-CENTURY seeks to invest in listed companies that are intrinsically undervalued and present strong investment return prospects. In certain circumstances it may acquire a controlling position in a publicly quoted company where there is a clear value proposition and the intention from the outset is to actively create value, as it did with East African Cables through its holding company Cables Holdings Ltd.
Private Equity and Venture-Capital Funds
TRANS-CENTURY actively invests in selected private equity and venture capital funds, with the objective of achieving unique geographic and sector exposure, and developing relationships with a wide range of limited partner investors across the globe. The company has so far invested in four private equity funds in East Africa, West Africa, China and South Asia and in one venture capital fund in Kenya.
Real Estate
TRANS-CENTURY invests as a primary sponsor or along side other partners in green field and existing property ventures.
