Vulcan Capital, the multi-billion dollar investment arm of Vulcan, has selected TriLinc Global Advisors (TriLinc) to seed the launch of the TriLinc Global Sustainable Income Fund (TGSIF). The investment is part of Vulcan Capital’s impact investing strategy.
Impact Investing is defined as investing with the specific objective to achieve a competitive financial return as well as creating positive, measurable impact in communities across the globe.
TriLinc Global is an innovative impact investing fund sponsor with a mission to link market-rate returns, positive impact, and scalable solutions. Through its registered investment advisor subsidiaries, TriLinc has invested more than $700 million in private debt globally and seeks to demonstrate the power of the capital markets in helping to solve some of the world’s pressing socioeconomic and environmental challenges.
TriLinc funds provide growth-stage loans and trade finance to established small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in select developing economies where access to affordable capital is significantly limited. Borrower companies must demonstrate the ability to pay market rates, pass TriLinc’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) screens, and commit to tracking and reporting on self-identified impact metrics.
Founded by Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Paul Allen, Vulcan Capital invests across all stages of corporate development including venture capital, growth equity and leveraged buyouts as well as investing in public equities and other liquid asset classes. Vulcan Capital’s current portfolio spans a range of industry sectors, including technology, internet, mobile, life sciences, energy, and natural resources, media and communications, and financial and information services.
