Fang Investments
About

A US-based holding company, building a diversified global portfolio.

Fang Investments LLC is a US-based diversified investment holding company founded in 2019 and headquartered in North Carolina. Under the leadership of Eric Li, President & CEO, the firm operates across three complementary verticals: commodities trading, renewable energy development, and income-producing real estate.

The company’s strategic vision is to identify and capture value across high-growth emerging markets — particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa — while maintaining a stable domestic foundation through its Carolinas real estate portfolio.

The firm’s multi-sector approach provides resilience through diversification and positions it at the intersection of global commodity demand, Africa’s energy transition, and US real estate fundamentals.
