BlueOrchard Finance Ltd. is a Zurich-headquartered global impact asset manager and alternative investment General Partner. Domiciled in Switzerland and regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), the firm was established in 2001 under a United Nations initiative to operate as the world’s first commercial manager of microfinance debt investments. In October 2019, global asset management giant Schroders plc acquired a majority stake in the firm and integrated it into its specialised private markets division, Schroders Capital. BlueOrchard executes a highly structured "Triple Bottom Line" investment philosophy, pooling global public-private blended finance to deploy private credit, growth private equity, and sustainable infrastructure assets across emerging and frontier economies, with a major focus on expanding financial inclusion and driving climate-change adaptation frameworks throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.
