Private Equity and Investment Funds

IFC is a significant supporter of emerging managers. Since 2000 around 50% of funds backed by IFC have been run by 1st time managers. Once funds are successful enough to attract a strong following of commercial investors, IFC sees its role completed and moves on to find the next generation of emerging managers. IFC's portfolio from 2000 to 2011 accounted for $3.6 billion original commitment and currently stands at around $3.0 billion committed to about 180 funds.
