Blended finance
Blended finance is a technique used to enable commercial investors to access emerging markets opportunities in a scalable and de-risked way, thereby supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Blended finance strategies can allow professional investors to tap into this new asset class of impact-focused investments and focus on investing in sectors and geographies that are under-represented in public markets. We believe such strategies can provide investors with de-risked, uncorrelated returns in emerging markets.

Private equity investments are highly illiquid and designed for professional investors pursuing a long-term investment strategy only.
Investing involves risk. The value of an investment and the income from it may fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the full amount invested. Investing in fixed income instruments may expose investors to various risks, including but not limited to creditworthiness, interest rate, liquidity and restricted flexibility risks. Changes to the economic environment and market conditions may affect these risks, resulting in an adverse effect to the value of the investment. During periods of rising nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments (including short positions with respect to fixed income instruments) are generally expected to decline. Conversely, during periods of declining interest rates, the values of these instruments are generally expected to rise. Liquidity risk may possibly delay or prevent account withdrawals or redemptions. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. If the currency in which the past performance is displayed differs from the currency of the country in which the investor resides, then the investor should be aware that due to the exchange rate fluctuations the performance shown may be higher or lower if converted into the investor’s local currency.
