The power of blended finance
The power of blended finance
We give you strong returns with risk mitigation
Investors want to invest in assets, regions and sectors that deliver attractive returns and diversify their portfolios. But they want investments with a risk-return profile that suits their needs.
Our blended finance structure allows you to invest with first- and second-loss protection, which is provided by catalytic investors.
This helps us deliver deep impact at scale
Catalytic investors take first- and second-loss positions to enhance the risk-return profile for institutional investors.
This helps us attract more private investment, increasing the pool of available capital. We can also leverage catalytic investors' initial investment and reinvest proceeds over a number of years to maximise impact further.
That means we can deliver strong risk-mitigated returns, while enhancing our ability to protect biodiversity, and mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change.
Advisory & Capacity Building enhances your investment
Investors can also donate to our Advisory & Capacity Building services – allowing us to work closely with our investees to transform more markets and businesses.
