About this data

Holdings as this LP reports them, fund by fund. Amounts are its commitment to each fund. As of September 30, 2024. Source: DFC Annual Project Data: active Investment Funds and fund equity investments. Funds are linked to a manager by name; a match can be wrong, and the original filing is the record. How Hottub reads its sources.

DFC publishes every active project once a year in a workbook, each with a department, a support type, a sector, a description and the amount committed in US dollars ("the original principal/investment value that DFC has committed to provide or guaranty"); this is its snapshot of active transactions on the as-of date. This list keeps 70 funds: every project of the department "Investment Funds" (which DFC defines as "Debt and equity invested into emerging market private equity funds") and the projects of the department "Equity Investments" whose sector is "Finance and Insurance" (the department's other projects are direct stakes in operating companies). 22 of the 70 are loans DFC or its predecessor OPIC made to the fund (support type Direct Lending), not limited-partner interests; the rest are equity. Commitments are the workbook's Committed column in whole dollars; nothing is converted or estimated. The workbook has no vintage year, paid-in amount, distributions, value, multiple or IRR, so those are blank; its Exposure column (the commitment less cancellations and repayments) is not a market value and is not shown. Left out: 15 direct equity investments in companies, 31 funds whose name or DFC description says credit, debt, lending, loans, infrastructure, real estate or housing, 1 fund project that DFC lists as "Redacted", and all 1196 loans, guaranties, insurance, technical assistance and legacy projects. The 70 commitments add up to $2908980902; the workbook prints no total.
