Strategic & capital advisory · 30°N – 30°S

Welcome to the
Growth Belt.

Providing strategic and capital advisory in the world's most vital economic zone — 30° North to 30° South.

The +30 / −30 zone

Not just a region on a map. The engine of tomorrow's economy.

Why the zone matters

Defined by dynamic change, explosive growth, and profound opportunity, this is where the future is being built.

From the tech hubs of Southeast Asia and the energy corridors of the Middle East, to the agricultural powerhouses of Latin America and the burgeoning consumer markets of Africa.

It is also where capital has been slowest to flow. We understand its unique complexities and how to unlock its immense potential.

The youngest, fastest-growing populations, and the consumer markets forming around them.

The zone is set to drive the majority of global economic expansion in the decades ahead.

Rapid urbanisation is creating vast demand for infrastructure, energy and housing.
The L30 thesis

Designed to unlock the world's most critical growth markets.

As traditional funding models shift and geopolitics realign, we act as a bridge between global capital and high-impact investment.

We turn high-potential but complex opportunities in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs) into a gateway for global investment and growth.
