Prosus offers a compelling one-stop play for investing in early-stage consumer technology companies around the globe. It is like a private equity fund that is open to everyone – not just well-heeled institutions and individuals.
Plus, this private equity fund is essentially a “backdoor investment” in Tencent – one that happens to include free “call options” on 76 additional early-stage investments.
While Tencent will wield the greatest influence over Prosus’ near-term investment results, as time goes on, the other investments in its portfolio are likely to produce meaningful success.
And who knows? Maybe another Tencent is hiding somewhere in the Prosus portfolio!
