Pan-African asset manager BluePeak Private Capital has received an $80 million joint investment commitment from a consortium of leading development finance institutions, including British International Investment (BII), FMO (the Dutch entrepreneurial development bank), Swedfund, and the Swiss Investment Fund for Emerging Markets (SIFEM).
The capital will be directed into BluePeak’s fund focused on providing growth capital to mid-sized companies across Africa, a segment often underserved by traditional financing. The fund aims to support businesses with strong potential for impact in job creation, innovation, and sustainable economic development.
This commitment highlights growing investor confidence in Africa’s mid-market private sector and reflects a broader push to mobilize patient, flexible capital that supports long-term growth on the continent.
