Abstract

This is the first of a two-case series (398-060-1 and 398-061-1). Tanzanian Air Tours (TAT), a small but fast growing Tanzanian Airline, is looking for a capital injection to help fuel the airline''s growth. The Tanzanian Venture Capital Fund, 33% shareholder, is considering making an investment of almost $350,000 which would take its investment up to almost $1 million, representing 20% of the fund''s total investment. There are, however, mixed reactions to the funding request within the fund management company. At the heart of this issue lies a question of investment policy: whether to spread resources over a number of different companies or to follow a more focused approach.
