What does Absa invest in?
Listed sectors include Climate, Commerce and FinTech; listed focus areas include Banking, Clean Energy, Commodities and Infrastructure. Those tags come from the portfolio attached to the firm, so they describe what has been backed rather than a stated mandate for what comes next.
