International Finance Corporation (IFC): IFC Investment Services Projects (World Bank Group Finances One), industry: Funds, as of October 11, 2026. IFC discloses every investment project in the World Bank Group's open data set "IFC Investment Services Projects" (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, updated daily), with an industry, a product line, a status and the amount of its equity, loan and guarantee investment in millions of US dollars. This list keeps the 338 projects that IFC classifies in the industry "Funds", whose status is Active or Pending Disbursement, whose product line is not Loan, and that have an equity amount. The fund name is the data set's company name (the legal entity IFC invests in); IFC lists each project separately, so a fund with a second commitment appears twice. The commitment is IFC's equity investment as the data set gives it, in millions of US dollars, multiplied by one million; where a project also has a loan amount only the equity is counted. Nothing is converted or estimated: the data set is in US dollars. It has no vintage year, paid-in amount, distributions, value, multiple or IRR, so those are blank. Left out: 24 fund projects that are Completed (exited), 46 that are not yet signed or are on hold, 24 whose product line is Loan or that have no equity amount, 5 whose project name IFC prefixes with CI (co-investments in a single company), and 31 that IFC's project name prefixes with DFP or DCM or whose name says credit, debt, lending, loan, bond, infrastructure or real estate. The data set has no finer label than "Funds", so a few vehicles that are not private equity or venture funds may remain. For 22 funds the data set prints an equity amount of exactly 250 (million), the same figure for some two dozen small funds; that is not a commitment to one fund, so their commitment is left blank. The other 316 commitments add up to $10411.05 million; the data set prints no total. View source
Norfund (Norwegian Investment Fund for Developing Countries): Norfund Investment Overview: active fund commitments, as of June 30, 2026. Norfund publishes every investment in a workbook, each with a status, sector, sub-sector, mandate, instrument (Loans, Equity or Funds) and its commitment in Norwegian kroner and in US dollars. This list keeps the active commitments whose instrument is "Funds" in the sectors SME Funds, Scalable enterprises and Financial Inclusion: 78 rows for 75 funds (a fund held under two mandates has two rows, added together here). Dollar amounts are Norfund's own: the workbook's "Commitment (USD)" column, which is the krone commitment multiplied by 0.100698 US dollars per Norwegian krone, the one rate the workbook gives as "CURR -> USD FX rate on Rep Date" for its reporting date of 2026-06-30; each row was checked against that product and rounded to the dollar. Nothing else is derived or estimated. The workbook has no vintage year, paid-in amount, distributions, value, multiple or IRR, so those are blank; the date a commitment was made is not a vintage year and is not used. Left out: 13 active fund rows in the sectors Renewable Energy and Green Infrastructure or with the sub-sector "Infrastructure fund", 2 filed under Funds whose sub-sector names an operating industry rather than a fund, 1 whose name says credit, debt, lending, loan, infrastructure or real estate, 38 fund rows with the status Exit, and all loans and direct equity investments. Norfund does not say which funds are private equity, venture or microfinance funds beyond these labels, so microfinance and mezzanine funds remain. The 75 commitments add up to $843206301; the workbook prints no total. View source
