About this data
Holdings as this LP reports them, fund by fund. Amounts are its commitment to each fund. As of June 30, 2026. Source: Norfund Investment Overview: active fund commitments. 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.
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.
