Acre Export Finance Fund I LP is the flagship private debt impact fund of Acre Impact Capital, a London-based blended-finance investment manager founded in 2019 by Hussein Sefian (CEO, former Global Head of Strategy at BNP Paribas CIB) and Faisal Khan (CIO). The fund held its first close in April 2024 at approximately $100 million of its $300 million target, attracting the European Investment Bank (EIB), FSD Africa Investments, Ceniarth, and Investec Bank as initial limited partners. The fund received the Environmental Finance Impact Initiative of the Year — Africa (2024) and the Krutham Africa Impact Investment Awards Financial Structure of the Year, recognising its structural innovation in mobilising private capital for emerging-market infrastructure. Acre Export Finance Fund I is the first fund globally structured to leverage export credit agencies (ECAs) as a systematic impact investing mechanism. ECAs typically guarantee 85% of infrastructure project loans to sovereign borrowers in developing markets; the fund targets the remaining 15% commercial debt tranche — a segment structurally underserved following the withdrawal of European commercial banks post-2008. Each $1 of fund capital unlocks approximately $5.6 of total private capital in ECA-backed project financings. Loans carry sovereign-backed credit risk, long tenors of up to 22 years, and are concentrated in four impact pillars: Renewable Power, Health Food and Water Scarcity, Sustainable Cities, and Green Transportation. The portfolio targets 15–20 projects concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa. The fund's structural design addresses a critical financing gap: after the Basel III regulatory framework curtailed commercial bank appetite for long-tenor sovereign-backed loans in developing markets, ECA-backed infrastructure financings have lacked viable commercial debt providers. Acre Impact Capital positions the fund as the institutional solution — offering investors sovereign credit risk, ECA guarantee protection, long-duration returns, and measurable development impact across Africa's most capital-constrained infrastructure sectors.

The Emerging Market Climate Action Fund (EMCAF) is an innovative blended finance Fund of Funds co-created by Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI) and the European Investment Bank (EIB), launched in 2022 and endorsed by the G7. AllianzGI acts as the fund's investment manager while the EIB serves as investment advisor, combining private asset management expertise with the EIB's development finance mandate and institutional credibility. EMCAF was established with the explicit mission of mobilizing private institutional capital toward climate mitigation and adaptation projects in emerging and developing markets — a segment of the global economy where the estimated climate finance gap runs into the trillions of euros annually. EMCAF operates as a blended finance vehicle, deploying capital into sub-funds and project-level investments focused on renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable transport, forestry, water and wastewater management, and the circular economy across Asia Pacific, Africa, and Latin America. The fund's structure uses junior tranches from development finance institutions and public sector entities — including the Nordic Development Fund, KfW, and the Luxembourg Ministry of the Environment — to de-risk senior tranches offered to commercial institutional investors such as Allianz and Folksam. This blended capital structure enables EMCAF to target returns acceptable to institutional investors while channeling capital toward impact-first projects that would otherwise be unfinanceable on purely commercial terms. EMCAF targets total mobilization of up to EUR 10 billion in aggregate climate finance and aims to catalyze approximately 9 to 10 gigawatts of clean energy capacity across its portfolio sub-funds. The fund received BaFin regulatory approval and operates under EIB Environmental and Social standards, providing institutional investors with a regulated, standards-compliant vehicle for emerging market climate exposure. EMCAF represents one of the largest blended finance initiatives focused on climate action in developing economies, aligned with Paris Agreement climate finance mobilization commitments.

The Altree Kadzi Gender Climate Fund (AKGCF) is an impact-focused blended finance vehicle managed by Altree Capital, targeting early- to growth-stage companies in Sub-Saharan Africa that advance gender equality, women's empowerment, and climate adaptation and mitigation. Established by Altree Capital — an investment manager founded in 2006 by Jenni Chamberlain with a long-standing commitment to driving international capital into Africa — the fund represents one of the continent's few vehicles explicitly combining gender-lens investing with a climate-smart mandate across a single portfolio. The AKGCF targets a raise of between USD 50 million and USD 80 million, deploying capital through a mix of equity, debt, mezzanine, convertible notes, and revenue-based financing. This multi-instrument approach is designed to de-risk investments across the capital structure and reach companies too mature for traditional venture capital but too early for conventional private equity. At least 60 percent of the portfolio is directed at businesses addressing climate adaptation and mitigation, while 40 percent focuses on women's health. Every investment must qualify for at least three of the 2X Criteria for gender-lens investing, ensuring a rigorous, measurable approach to gender impact across the portfolio. Key portfolio companies include Wahu! Mobility, an electric vehicle venture operating in Ghana and Togo, and Kasha, an e-commerce platform focused on women's health and personal care. Altree Capital maintains offices in Bermuda, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Kenya, providing hands-on investor support across the regions where the fund operates. The AKGCF has received backing from the Climate Gender Equity Fund (CGEF) and support from the Visa Africa Women's Investment Fund (AWIF), validating the fund's blended finance approach and commitment to gender and climate impact in emerging markets.

ImpactEnvironmental Infrastructure & ServicesCleantech & Climatech

Averrhoa Nature-Based Solutions Fund is an Article 9 impact investment vehicle managed by Ardian, one of Europe's leading private investment houses, in strategic partnership with aDryada, a specialist developer of large-scale nature-based projects. Launched in September 2023, the fund represents a pioneering approach to institutional impact investing through the restoration and conservation of natural ecosystems in emerging and developing economies. The fund is classified under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) as an Article 9 product, meaning it pursues a specific, measurable sustainability objective as its primary investment mandate rather than as a secondary consideration. The fund finances large-scale projects to restore forests, wetlands, and mangroves with the dual objective of sequestering carbon from the atmosphere and generating high-quality carbon credits verified by independent third-party experts. The strategy targets projects collectively expected to sequester approximately 150 million tonnes of carbon, while enhancing biodiversity and delivering socio-economic benefits for local communities. Geographic focus is on emerging markets and developing economies across Latin America, Africa, and Asia Pacific, where nature-based solutions offer the greatest ecological additionality. The fund aims to deploy approximately 1.5 billion euros in projects and capital worldwide, blending institutional capital with development finance institution (DFI) support to achieve both measurable climate impact and financial return for investors. The fund completed its first close at 100 million euros with cornerstone commitments from development finance institutions including the European Investment Bank (EIB), Proparco, and British International Investment (BII), providing early validation of the strategy from leading global DFIs. Ardian's broader natural capital and infrastructure expertise underpins the fund's ability to source, structure, and manage complex nature-based solutions across multiple jurisdictions, positioning Averrhoa as a flagship vehicle for institutional investors seeking exposure to the rapidly growing voluntary carbon market alongside verifiable biodiversity and social impact metrics.

The Ardian Nature Based Solutions Fund – Averrhoa is a climate impact fund launched by Ardian in collaboration with aDryada, dedicated to financing large-scale nature restoration projects across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. It is structured as an SFDR Article 9 fund and aims to catalyze institutional investment into ecosystems that can deliver both high-integrity carbon credits and measurable biodiversity outcomes. In its first wave of fundraising, the vehicle secured approximately €100 million in anchor commitments from leading development finance institutions, including the European Investment Bank (€50m), Proparco (€20m), and British International Investment (€10m).

SA Impact Forestry Fund (SAIFF) is a South America-focused sustainable forestry impact fund managed by Astarte Capital Partners LLP, a London-based impact investment manager, in partnership with SilviPar AB, a Stockholm-based forestry operations specialist with extensive experience in Paraguay. The fund targets the conversion of degraded grazing land and low-productivity farmland in Paraguay into sustainably managed eucalyptus plantations and permanent conservation reserves, generating timber revenues, carbon credits, and measurable biodiversity co-benefits. The fund achieved a final close of US$325.3 million in April 2024, substantially oversubscribed against an original target of US$150–200 million, attracting development finance institutions and climate-focused investors from more than 30 countries and five continents, with a 2021 vintage and PitchBook fund ID 19017-10F. The investment strategy centers on acquiring land in Paraguay's Chaco region and southern agricultural zones, transforming degraded properties into FSC-certified eucalyptus plantations for wood fiber and pulp markets, while permanently reserving at least 25% of total land for conservation. This conservation component has created what Astarte describes as Paraguay's largest private grassland conservation park, actively monitoring more than 70 protected species. Carbon sequestration is a core value driver, with SAIFF targeting over 18 million tonnes of CO2 removal over the fund term, supported by a BeZero Carbon pre-rating of BBB with 'Very Low' execution risk — the highest confidence tier BeZero assigns. The fund is positioned for cross-border carbon credit transfers under Paraguay's Article 6 bilateral agreement with Singapore, signed in 2025. As of March 2026, the fund holds approximately 127,000 hectares under control, with over 34,000 hectares planted and more than 12 million trees added annually, against a target of 80,000 planted hectares and 60 million trees. Approximately 35,000 hectares of conservation land have been established. Disclosed investors include FMO (US$20M), IFU/Impact Fund Denmark (US$20M), CAF Development Bank of Latin America (up to US$15M), GenZero (Temasek-linked), and the Environmental Agency Pension Fund (UK). The fund has won Agri Investor's Global Impact Fund Manager of the Year in both 2023 and 2024, and Private Equity Wire's Best ESG Fund: Emerging Markets in 2023.

Established under Spain's Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), FIS is designed to strengthen the social entrepreneurship and impact investment ecosystem in Spain by financing purpose-driven companies, social economy entities such as foundations and associations, and impact investment funds. The fund operates as a self-sustaining revolving instrument with indefinite duration, adhering to SpainNAB's Code of Good Practices for Impact Investment and maintaining full alignment with the EU's sustainable finance standards. FIS invests through three complementary modalities: indirect investments via impact funds (€2–50 million per commitment), direct co-investments and co-financing alongside private investors (€100,000–€5 million per operation), and direct loans or participating loans (minimum €300,000). Investment mandates focus on 11 social and environmental challenges identified for Spain, including equality and social inclusion, reduction of inequalities, responsible consumption and production, health and well-being, and territorial integration. All investee organizations must demonstrate measurable social or environmental impact aligned with these priorities, and investments are structured to catalyze additional private capital into underserved impact segments of the Spanish economy. Technical assistance facilities complement financial investments to build organizational capacity in social enterprises and NGOs. In its first year of deployment, FIS closed 13 operations representing approximately €155 million in commitments, equivalent to 40% of the total fund size. Notable investments include €30 million committed to IB Deuda Impacto España (Impact Bridge's dedicated Spanish impact debt fund), €15 million to Global Social Impact Fund II (GSIF Spain), and a €3 million direct loan to UNEI, a social enterprise focused on disability inclusion. By end-2025, FIS is projected to reach €255 million in cumulative investments, with €40 million specifically designated for housing-focused social impact projects.

Ecosystem Investment Partners V, L.P. (EIP V) is the fifth fund in the flagship series managed by Ecosystem Investment Partners (EIP), one of the largest dedicated natural capital and environmental restoration investment managers in the United States. Based in Baltimore, Maryland and founded in 2006, EIP manages nearly $1.5 billion in total capital raised across five fund generations. EIP V held its final close in October 2025 with over $400 million in capital commitments, attracting a diverse base of public and corporate pension funds, endowments, family offices, and institutional investors from the U.S. and Europe. EIP V continues the firm's core strategy of investing in large-scale wetland, stream, water quality, biodiversity, and habitat mitigation and restoration projects across the United States. The fund acquires and develops environmental mitigation banks — land restoration projects that generate mitigation credits under the U.S. Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act. These credits are sold to regulated entities that must offset unavoidable environmental impacts from infrastructure, industrial, or real estate development projects. This market-based mechanism provides structural demand for the fund's credit inventory, creating a return profile linked to regulatory requirements rather than commodity cycles. EIP V had already deployed more than $125 million across nine portfolio investments in Florida, Kentucky, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, California, and Louisiana at the time of final close. EIP V received significant support from European institutional investors, including a combined $160 million commitment from Danish pension funds AP Pension, Laerernes Pension, and Sampension, reflecting growing cross-border institutional appetite for natural capital as an asset class. The preceding EIP IV fund closed at $454.5 million in 2020, validating EIP's repeatable model of sourcing restoration sites, managing permitting and development processes, and monetizing environmental credits over multi-year holding periods through sales to infrastructure developers and regulatory compliance buyers.

The Elevate Innovation Gap Fund is an early-stage venture capital programme managed by Elevate Capital, an inclusive venture capital firm headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and the first institutional-scale VC fund in the United States focused primarily on investing in underrepresented and underestimated founders. The programme was established to fill a critical capital gap in Oregon's startup ecosystem — providing early-stage funding to research-intensive and science-driven ventures that lack access to mainstream venture capital due to geography, founder background, or the nature of their technology. The programme has been deployed across two vehicles — Innovation Gap Fund I and Innovation Gap Fund II — with a combined $7 million in assets under management invested across 30 Oregon-based portfolio companies. Sectors of emphasis include healthcare and life sciences, cleantech and sustainability, and natural resources technology, all aligned with Oregon's designated traded-sector industries that carry the highest potential for exporting economic value and creating quality employment in the region. Over 58% of portfolio companies have diverse leadership teams, with 37% led by women and 43% by minority founders — among the highest diversity metrics in institutional US venture capital. Elevate Capital was founded in 2016 and has since grown beyond the Innovation Gap Fund programme to manage the Oregon State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) Venture Direct Program, a federally funded state-managed capital facility targeting at least 40% participation from socially and economically disadvantaged individuals (SEDI). Business Oregon selected Elevate to manage the SSBCI programme based on demonstrated performance managing the Innovation Gap Funds and its deep-rooted network within Oregon's entrepreneurial community. The Elevate Innovation Gap Fund serves as a replicable model for mission-driven, geographically focused early-stage venture investing with measurable economic and social impact.

Energy Access Relief Fund

Impact
Energy Infrastructure & RenewablesImpact

The Energy Access Relief Fund (EARF) is a blended-finance debt facility established in 2020 as a coordinated multilateral response to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on emerging-market off-grid energy companies. Co-anchored by the Dutch entrepreneurial development bank FMO, the UK's CDC Group (now British International Investment), the World Bank's International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), with philanthropic backing from the Rockefeller Foundation and Shell Foundation, EARF deployed up to $100 million in concessional loans to small and medium-sized enterprises providing off-grid energy solutions across approximately 50 countries in Africa and Asia. The fund targets off-grid energy service companies—providers of solar home systems, clean cookstoves, and solar-powered irrigation—that were commercially viable before the pandemic but faced acute liquidity stress when payment collections from low-income rural customers collapsed during COVID-19 lockdowns. By providing low-cost debt at below-market rates, EARF helped these enterprises retain field agents, service their own debt obligations, and preserve the energy access gains achieved over the preceding decade—preventing years of progress on electrification from being undone by a temporary demand shock. EARF's blended-finance structure—combining official development assistance grants, development bank balance sheet capital, and commercially structured tranches—served as a proof-of-concept for coordinated multi-DFI crisis response in the off-grid energy sector. The fund invested across the off-grid solar, clean cooking, and productive-use agricultural segments, with portfolio companies in East Africa, West Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. It is classified as an impact investment vehicle with explicit SDG alignment, particularly SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (climate action), and represents an early example of blended finance at scale in the energy access market.

Firstime Ventures Fund III is the third venture capital fund of Firstime Ventures, an Israeli early-stage VC firm founded in 2014 by Jonathan Benartzi and Nir Tarlovsky. The fund was announced in November 2021 with a target capitalisation of $100 million, positioned as one of the only Israeli venture capital funds explicitly aligned with all 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At announcement, the fund had secured $50 million in initial commitments, anchored by Jonathan Kolber of Viola Investment Group, one of Israel's most prominent technology investors. Fund III focuses exclusively on Israeli-founded startups addressing climate change and global health challenges across seven defined verticals: AI for Renewable Energies, IoT and Data-Driven Agriculture, Food Security, Clean and Circular Economy, Energy and Environment, Net Zero Carbon, and Affordable and Accessible Digital Health. The fund extends Firstime's venture investing model to an impact-first mandate, complemented by Firstime Credit — a dedicated blended-finance arm designed to provide portfolio companies with growth capital alongside equity financing. Inaugural portfolio companies include BeeHero (precision agriculture hive monitoring) and Hygieia (diabetes management platform for uncontrolled patients). Firstime's prior two funds deployed $150 million into more than 30 Israeli technology startups, establishing the firm's track record in early-stage Israeli venture investing. Fund III marks a deliberate shift toward impact-first investing, with climate tech and digital health as the defining theses. The fund was also referenced in the market as 'Firstime Ventures third fund', reflecting its position in the firm's fundraising sequence.

The Inlandsis Fund is the inaugural carbon finance vehicle created by Inlandsis ManagementCo, a joint initiative of Priori-T Capital and Fondaction Asset Management, both headquartered in Montréal, Québec. Launched in 2017 with a fund size of CAD $30 million and backed by Fondaction as its lead investor alongside more than fifteen institutional and strategic investors from Québec and across Canada, the fund operates over a ten-year investment horizon through 2027. The fund pioneered a unique project-finance model for the North American carbon market: it provides upfront capital to developers of greenhouse gas reduction and natural sequestration projects in exchange for the future stream of carbon credits generated by those projects. This structure addresses a critical financing gap by giving project developers the liquidity needed to implement and certify emissions-reduction initiatives before credits can be sold on compliance markets. Typical project investments range from CAD $2 million to CAD $15 million, targeting compliance markets including the California-Québec linked cap-and-trade system, California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), the Alberta carbon market, and voluntary carbon markets. Since inception, the Inlandsis Fund has supported more than 45 individual projects spanning nature-based and industrial decarbonisation sectors. As of May 2025, portfolio projects have collectively protected 22,456 hectares of land and generated reductions or removals totalling over 3 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent. Notable portfolio projects include Bluesource dairy farm methane reduction, The Climate Trust grassland conservation programme in the western United States, and the Northeast Wilderness Trust forest preservation initiative in Vermont. The fund's commercial success validated the model and led Fondaction Asset Management and Priori-T Capital to launch Inlandsis II in 2022, which closed at nearly CAD $130 million in 2024.

The New Agriculture Landscape Opportunities Fund (NALOF) is a 12-year closed-end real assets fund managed by New Agriculture, the dedicated agricultural investment division of New Forests Asset Management, a specialist natural capital investment manager founded in 2005 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia. Targeting A$750 million in institutional capital, NALOF began raising in April 2025 and expected its first close in Q1 2026. The fund is built on the Lawson Grains portfolio — a 100,000-hectare broadacre cropping aggregation in New South Wales that New Forests assembled when New Agriculture was formally launched in August 2022 as a standalone agricultural investment platform. New Agriculture managed over A$1.5 billion in agricultural assets across 3.1 million hectares as of the fund launch announcement. NALOF deploys a whole-of-landscape investment approach that treats agricultural land, environmental markets, and natural capital as complementary revenue streams within a single real-asset strategy. The fund acquires and actively manages diversified agricultural properties across Australia and New Zealand — including broadacre cropping, beef and sheep livestock operations, and irrigated horticulture — while simultaneously developing environmental market projects eligible under the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) framework, biodiversity certificates, renewable energy siting opportunities, and conservation covenants on properties with significant habitat or water catchment attributes. This multi-revenue-stream structure is designed to generate a targeted internal rate of return of 9 to 11 per cent, blending traditional agricultural cash yields with environmental market income to enhance risk-adjusted performance relative to single-use farmland vehicles, while contributing to measurable landscape restoration and decarbonisation outcomes. New Forests Asset Management has two decades of experience in natural capital investment, having managed timberland, sustainable forestry, and environmental market strategies across the Asia-Pacific region since 2005. Its predecessor agriculture-adjacent strategy, the Australia New Zealand Landscapes and Forestry Fund (ANZLAFF), raised approximately A$600 million and demonstrated the viability of integrating income-producing land assets with environmental market revenue generation across Australian agricultural landscapes. NALOF applies the same landscape-integrated investment philosophy, adapted specifically to the agricultural context and the growing depth of Australia's carbon, biodiversity, and renewable energy markets. The fund represents New Forests' conviction that agricultural real assets are increasingly compelling for institutional investors seeking inflation-linked income, natural capital exposure, and measurable impact outcomes within a 12-year closed-end structure.

The investment strategy emphasizes commercial plantation forest expansion while also supporting the conservation and restoration of degraded lands. The platform is guided by four pillars of impact: climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, gender and diversity integration, and community livelihoods improvement. AFIP is committed to deploying at least 30 percent of its portfolio value in 2X-eligible investments to promote inclusive economic opportunities for women. At its inaugural acquisition, AFIP took a position in Green Resources AS (GRAS), East Africa's largest forestry development and wood processing company with approximately 171,000 hectares under management. This first investment established the platform's geographic diversification across multiple East African markets.
