Invest in the eco.business Fund
Distinct investment opportunities
The eco.business Fund offers two separate sub-funds that follow the same investment strategy: Latin America (Sub-Fund I) and Africa (Sub-Fund II).
Although the continents are economically and culturally different, they share important characteristics, including high growth potential, diversification opportunities, unique biodiversity and both are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

We give you strong returns with risk mitigation
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 (including public investors and development banks) take first- and second-loss positions to enhance the risk-return profile for institutional investors.
This makes the fund more attractive to private investors who, in turn, scale the impact of catalytic investors' funding.
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.
