Service Providers & Ecosystem Partners

We help service providers and ecosystem partners translate their offerings into propositions that fit institutional fiduciary frames.

We work with the investment consultants, data providers, multilateral development banks (MDBs), development finance institutions (DFIs), foundations, non-profits, and alliances who are seeking to steer capital toward systemic gaps, particularly in capital mobilization for emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs).

A note on EMDEs: Bridging Supply and Institutional Demand

The challenge MDB and DFI partners face is rarely a shortage of supply. Enormous effort and capital has gone into building de-risking structures, blended finance vehicles, and concessional capital facilitation. 

What is often missing is the demand for such de-risking structures from institutional investors, typically because asset owners lack the mandate language, the allocation room, the risk framing, or the conviction in the EMDE thesis to make use of that catalytic supply.

 
Oakledge helps translate between development and policy sector perspectives and those of fiduciary investors, who are ultimately responsible for explaining how their investments into new geographies and with novel partners in a given capital stack generate strong risk-adjusted returns for beneficiaries and stakeholders. 

Institutional capital will not be mobilized unless it is willing to be. We see helping to build fiduciary conviction in the EMDE thesis as a core impactful and additional role that Oakledge can play in helping to drive capital to the economic and population growth centers of the coming decades.
