Private Equity
FMO has a clear role to play in providing risk capital in the
form of private equity and mezzanine finance, which is often most
scarce in high-risk environments. By acting as an equity investor,
we get closer to companies and can increase our ESG impact. As
mezzanine investors we can often achieve the same impact while also
being able to find a tailor-made financing solution for an investee
company. Private equity and mezzanine also offer attractive
returns, which contributes to our long-term financial strength.
Our private equity model is based on partnerships with fund
managers. We invest in a wide range of funds and co-invest directly
in projects alongside these funds.
