The People Behind Your Investment
Jerts Holding Investment Ltd is led by principals who combine decades of cross-border business experience, institutional governance, legal expertise, and deep African market knowledge — so that your capital is in the hands of people who know exactly what they are building, and why
MR. RICHARD OKRAMPAH ABBAN
Mr. Richard Okrampah Abban is a Ghana-born, United Kingdom-based entrepreneur, philanthropist, and principal investor whose career spans decades of business building, capital deployment, and community-centred development across two continents.
A native son of Mpeseduadze in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District, Central Region of Ghana, Mr. Abban left his hometown as a young man and built a distinguished professional life in the United Kingdom accumulating the cross-border experience, institutional relationships, governance expertise, and investment acumen that now underpin Jerts Holding Investment Ltd's pan-African mandate.
Through every chapter of his journey abroad, his connection to Ghana never dimmed. In April 2026, Mr. Abban made a decisive personal and financial return to Ghana, formally establishing the Richard Okrampah Abban Foundation (ROAF) LBG and launching its flagship community transformation programmes. This return signals not merely personal sentiment, but the convictions of a principal who deploys capital alongside his beliefs.
Mr. Abban's credibility as a principal investor is substantiated not by rhetoric, but by verified, structured financial commitments publicly documented through ROAF LBG's official programme disclosures:
Mr. Abban chairs the Board of Trustees of ROAF LBG, a not-for-profit organisation registered as a Limited by Guarantee company. This legal structure ensures that every pound and dollar committed to the Foundation is reinvested exclusively into programme delivery and community benefit. ROAF operates under:
- A formal Board of Trustees with defined governance responsibilities
- Full financial accountability and annual independent external audits
- Quarterly donor reporting against programme milestones
- Board-level oversight of all capital deployment and programme decisions
This institutional governance standard which Mr. Abban has personally established and maintains at ROAF mirrors the governance framework he has built into Jerts Holding Investment Ltd, offering investors the same level of accountability, transparency, and structured reporting they expect from institutional investment managers.
As Chairman and Principal Investor of Jerts Holding Investment Ltd, Mr. Abban provides:
- Strategic direction and investment mandate oversight across six pan-African sectors
- Principal capital commitment and sponsor-level financial backing to the investment programme
- Investor relationships leveraging deep networks built over decades across the United Kingdom, Ghana, and wider African markets
- Regulatory and stakeholder access - including established relationships with governments, traditional authorities, landowners, and regulatory bodies across Ghana
- Governance integrity ensuring that Jerts Holding's Investment Oversight Committee, independent audit protocols, and investor reporting standards reflect the same institutional discipline maintained at ROAF LBG
“I have been blessed with opportunities that many in Mpeseduadze never had. It is not enough to simply be grateful, one must act. This foundation is my action. It is my legacy, and I hope it becomes a foundation upon which the next generation can build their own.”
Private & Confidential
MRS. TONTE ABBAN
Mrs. Tonte Abban is one of the most distinctively credentialed practitioners operating at the intersection of pan-African impact investment and institutional governance. She holds a rare dual professional qualification as both a qualified Lawyer and a Registered Nurse, giving her a holistic perspective that encompasses legal rigour, clinical governance, fiduciary accountability, and community care simultaneously.
This combination is not merely academic. It shapes the way Mrs. Abban approaches every dimension of her leadership: from the precision with which she structures investor documentation, to the ethical compass she applies to community development programmes, to the regulatory fluency she brings to healthcare and impact investment governance. It is a combination that institutional investors, development finance bodies, and ESG-focused funds recognise as rare and valuable.
As Director and Chief Executive Officer of Myrtle Healthcare, Mrs. Abban leads the operational, regulatory, and governance framework of a healthcare enterprise overseeing service delivery standards, clinical compliance, quality assurance, staffing, and institutional accountability at an executive level.
Healthcare leadership demands precisely the disciplines that discerning investors expect in the management of structured investment vehicles: regulatory understanding, fiduciary responsibility, risk management, and the ability to maintain institutional accountability under scrutiny. Mrs. Abban’s track record at Myrtle Healthcare demonstrates all of these competencies in a live, regulated operating environment.
Mrs. Abban serves as a Trustee of the Hopewell Rose Foundation, where she champions community development, women’s empowerment, and sustainable livelihood programmes for vulnerable populations. This role demonstrates her commitment to applying an ESG lens to governance—an increasingly important credential for investment managers engaging with international development finance institutions and impact investors who require evidence of genuine community accountability beyond financial returns.
