Our approach
Long term perspective.
Independent advice.
Bold thinking.
Desmos is independent and partner-owned.
We don’t just show up. We take ownership.
Our partners lead from the front, drawing on decades of high-stakes, cross-border experience. We sit with clients when it matters most—when the capital is hard, the risks are real, and the stakes are high.
Few banks take that approach. Fewer still sustain it.
We advise where judgment matters:
M&A, capital raising, restructurings, strategic alternatives.
We’re known for ideas others don’t see — and the conviction to back them.
"Real estate advisory at Desmos is not about transactions in isolation. We combine financial discipline with strategic foresight, helping clients navigate complexity and create lasting value in the built environment."

“Africa’s capital markets are maturing fast, but their full potential will only be realised when domestic capital meets innovation at scale. The challenge is not a lack of resources, but a lack of alignment between savings, policy, and opportunity.”
