Shaping a sustainable tomorrow
<p>We are committed to fostering economic development, enhancing social well-being and protecting the environment.</p>
Investing where it matters most
We deploy capital in the places where it can make the greatest difference. We are committed to bridging the capital gap to global emerging markets and actively shaping a sustainable tomorrow.
We aim to deliver attractive returns for our investors and tangible benefits for the economies and communities we invest in.
Our approach
Impact without labels
Every investment we make supports projects and companies driving real-world development, creating jobs, strengthening infrastructure and expanding access to essential goods and services in underserved markets.
<br><br>
We call this impact without labels: humble, honest and effective.
Investing responsibly
Private credit allows us to deploy capital directly into businesses and projects that lack access to traditional financing.
<br>
<br>
This allows us to structure deals that encourage good governance and responsible practices, support sectors critical to development and engage with borrowers to achieve positive commercial and societal benefits over the long term.
Focus areas
<p>We invest in themes that are the bedrock of transformation, each representing tens of billions of dollars in unmet demand. Key investment themes covering the markets in which we’ve been investing since 2014 include financial empowerment and equality, connectivity and innovation, responsible resource management, sustainable agriculture and energy security.</p>
Local insight, global standards
We are not investment tourists. Many of our team were born in the markets we invest in, providing deep roots and unmatched insights.
<br><br>
This cultural fluency helps us understand local realities, structure appropriate solutions and build long term partnerships rooted in trust and respect.
The standards we build on
<p>Our mission is to drive growth and positive change by integrating environmental, social and governance principles into our investment processes. We aim to foster economic development, enhance social well-being and protect the environment through responsible and innovative financial solutions. </p>
