The company focuses on five key sectors: energy, transport, telecommunications, health, and water. It manages the Pan African Infrastructure Development Fund (PAIDF), the continent's first 15-year infrastructure fund, with an initial capital of US$630 million, along with a follow-up fund, PAIDF2, totaling US$435 million. These funds support major projects that promote sustainable economic growth in Africa.

With offices in Johannesburg, Côte d’Ivoire, and London, Harith oversees a diverse portfolio that includes investments in digital infrastructure, energy, transport, and property throughout various African nations.
