Schroders and BlueOrchard I Launch of the Green Earth Impact Fund

Schroders, BlueOrchard Finance Ltd, and the Luxembourg Ministry of Finance today announced the first close of the Green Earth Impact Fund (GEIF, or the Fund), which is managed in a joint effort between BlueOrchard as Investment Manager and Schroders as the AIFM providing risk and portfolio services to the fund. The GEIF allows institutional investors to invest in a portfolio of funds, which seek to address environmental protection and climate change and to benefit from de-risking mechanisms such as first-loss protection. The Fund was conceived in June 2022 and has now achieved its first closing with a USD 25 million commitment from the Luxembourg Ministry of Finance. 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.
