Description
The guarantee will make it easier for investors to buy and sell their shares in private equity funds by helping to create a secondary market for these investments. This improves liquidity — meaning investors can access their money more easily — and encourages new investment into impact funds that support development goals.
The Liquidity Platform for Impact combines two existing initiatives, the Octobre Liquidity Guarantee Facility (OLGF) and 2nd Aries Capital to provide liquidity insurance and reduce barriers for investors who want to exit older funds.
Through this approach, the programme will attract more European investors to emerging markets in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific, and the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood.
