Green Earth Impact Fund

Initiated by the Luxembourg Ministry of Finance, the Green Earth Impact Fund (GEIF) allows professional private clients to invest in a diversified portfolio of funds targeting climate change, water protection, and biodiversity in developing and emerging markets, and to benefit from de-risking mechanisms such as a $25 million first-loss protection provided by the Luxembourg Ministry of Finance.

The fund is set up as a fund of funds (FoF) strategy providing capital to innovative private equity, sustainable real assets and private debt funds. In addition, the fund benefits from a de-risking mechanism as a result of the anchor investment by the Ministry of Finance within a blended finance structure.

With Schroders-BlueOrchard Finance ltd as a Fund Manager, the GEIF will operate as a value-added vehicle to drive and channel sustainable and impact investments in climate mitigation, climate adaptation, and the protection of water and biodiversity.

Innpact, OBVIAM, and Investing for Development (IforD) have supported the Luxembourg Ministry of Finance in the design of the fund as a blended climate fund of funds.
