Sabine Döbeli23 March 2015 Private capital for development – on the rise 2 Substantial growth of impact investing in Europe (Eurosif, 2014) Yet, overall volume limited Increasing interest from private and institutional investors

Sabine Döbeli23 March 2015 Mindset Development investments are often seen as charitable acts with non-competitive returns Pension fund boards often hesitate to enter new ground Liquidity Even large long-term investors need liquidity Solvency II as barrier for further development investments by insurance companies Size of investments Large public private partnerships often with large minimum investments (i.e. 1 B USD minimum investment for IFC syndicated loans) Microfinance and other development investments: Difficulty to absorb large investments Today‘s attribution to alternative asset class Investors attribute development investments to alternative asset class – they compete with hedge funds, private equity and commodity investments for limited share of portfolio Risk/return profile often compared with non-comparable investments Challenges for deployment of private capital for development 3

Sabine Döbeli23 March 2015 Public investors (i.e. public pension funds): act as role models Integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects into all investment categories Increase share of portfolio for specific development investments Financial intermediaries: find new ways to structure development investments (reasonable minimum sizes, enough liquidity) Government agencies: Support through public private partnerships De-risking through first-loss tranches held by public sector Provision of technical assistance to improve risk/return profile Industry associations: increase awareness and efficiency Stir political dialogue with relevant actors Provide regular market data and establish clear definitions Need for action to improve access to private capital 4
