About This Fund
BluePeak Private Capital Fund II (BPCF II) is a pan-African private credit fund launched by BluePeak Private Capital, an alternative asset management firm established in 2019. The fund aims to raise $250 million to provide flexible credit solutions to underserved mid-sized businesses across Africa, addressing the persistent financing gap that hinders their growth. BPCF II focuses on delivering impact-driven investments while offering investors superior risk-adjusted returns.
The fund targets strategic sectors such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, logistics, and financial services—industries pivotal to deepening local value chains and fostering industrial clusters. With a strong emphasis on gender inclusion, BPCF II is 2X Challenge qualified, promoting women's economic empowerment as a core objective. The fund integrates sustainability considerations throughout its investment process, prioritizing resilience, inclusive growth, and long-term value creation.
In its first close, BPCF II secured $80 million in commitments from leading European Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), including British International Investment (BII), FMO, Swedfund, and the Swiss Investment Fund for Emerging Markets (SIFEM). These commitments underscore the DFIs' confidence in BluePeak's strategy to combine performance with impact, mobilizing capital to Africa's underserved mid-market segment.
