Time is short

We urgently need to bridge the financing gaps in climate change mitigation and financial inclusion.

Public capital will never be enough

We must attract the institutional investors who add essential financial additionality.

By combining public and private capital, we do more than deliver impact. We deliver resilient investments that help safeguard our collective futures.

We aim to deliver diversified, risk-mitigated returns with impact

Founded in Germany, with local expertise from Latin America to Eastern Europe, we have been investing in emerging markets for over 20 years. Our track record is unmatched.

Since inception, we have invested across 44 high-growth economies, working with local financial institutions to finance businesses that are fit for the future. We also work directly with corporates and provide project financing. 

Through our investments, advice and capacity building, we address climate change, protect nature and foster financial inclusion.

We add resilience for institutional and catalytic investors

Institutional investors gain risk-mitigated returns, diversification and access to future drivers of growth.

Catalytic investors enhance their impact by investing alongside institutional investors.
