Arthur Chaora is the founding partner and Managing Director of Allumez Capital. He has a career with 28 years of experience working in roles in the African financial services sector. Arthur has spent 25 of these years directly participating in financial investment activities, 8 years of which have been spent developing in the impact investment space.

He began his career in investment banking, with two financial institutions, both with a multi-national presence in Africa, as a financial trader in domestic and international money markets.

Arthur joined a firm of a suite of investment management entities, offering asset management services for securities investments in money and capital market fixed income and equity products. He rose to the position of Executive Director responsible for Wholesale Markets.

In 2005 he undertook his first financial services entrepreneurial initiative. He was engaged by a financial services provider; a subsidiary member institution of a leading global financial services group, as part of a professional team providing treasury and retail investment service restructuring consultancy.

Subsequently, since 2008, he has concentrated on structuring and building financial capital intermediation and augmenting service solutions for early venture and sustainable development, with a keen focus on mid to lower market impact investment activity. This work has culminated in the founding and development of Allumez. During this period Arthur has also undertaken reciprocating professional participatory roles in the internal operations of Allumez’s closely collaborating advisory partner organisations.

Arthur is actively involved in the activities of small and medium venture enterprise development associations. He holds a Master of Science in Finance degree from the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom.
