KfW Capital: KfW Capital portfolio: venture capital and venture debt funds (a selection), as of October 11, 2026. KfW Capital, the venture capital arm of Germany's state development bank KfW, invests as a limited partner in European venture capital and venture debt funds. Its website names 83 fund managers it is invested with and says the list is a selection ("Eine Auswahl"), so it is not the whole portfolio. The page names managers, not the individual funds, and gives no amount, so each entry here is a manager's name as KfW Capital prints it and the commitment and every other amount, the vintage year, multiple and IRR are blank; nothing is converted from euro because no amount is published. Venture debt managers are in the list and are not marked as such. The page carries no date: the as-of date is the day it was read. View source
Korea Venture Investment Corp. (Foreign VC Investment Fund): Partnership Fund Status of Foreign VC Investment Fund, as of July 31, 2026. Korea Venture Investment Corp., the Korean government's fund-of-funds manager, lists on its English website every fund its Foreign VC Investment Fund has committed to, with the fund's name, its general partner, the fund's size and "KVIC's Commitment", in millions of US dollars. The commitment is shown here as printed, times one million; KVIC reports the amounts in US dollars, so nothing is converted. The fund's own size and the general partner column are not imported, and KVIC reports no vintage year, paid-in amount, distributions, value, multiple or IRR per fund, so those are blank. The page has 2 tables, all included: "Partnership Fund Status of Foreign VC Investment Fund", as of 2026-07-31, has 64 funds which add up to $521.8 million while the page prints a total of $536.9 million (the page does not explain the difference); "Partnership Fund Status of Foreign VC Investment Fund II", as of 2023-12-31, has 26 funds which add up to the printed total of $252.11 million. The as-of date here is the latest of the tables' dates. KVIC's domestic Korea Fund of Funds and its Angel Fund of Funds are not part of this list. View source
