About Global Partners
Focus sectors
Global Partners is an impact investing platform which provides innovative financing solutions to businesses in emerging markets serving the needs of low- and middle income populations, thus catalysing lasting impact. We bridge the gap between seed and growth stage funding through a full suite of finance options – from debt to equity – which we activate unilaterally or through strategic partnerships. Global Partners is the wholly owned asset management arm of global impact firm Palladium, operating in 100 countries.
Financial inclusion
We invest in companies that will scale financial inclusion. The relevant sub-sectors are microfinance, fintech, small and medium-sized banks, money operators, correspondent banking and peer-to-peer lenders.
Access to clean energy
We are at the forefront in proving mass-market access to clean energy through innovative distribution business models and off-grid technology. Our investments include providers of pay-as-you-go solar energy systems based on sophisticated remote monitoring, data analytics, and machine-learning algorithms.
Access to healthcare
We see opportunities to leap towards mass access to healthcare through technology. The convergence of data, connectivity, devices and treatments is significantly improving affordability and patient outcomes. At the same time we are finding healthcare companies that offer scalable, turnkey service solutions.
Agribusiness
In many emerging and frontier markets, smallholder farmers and rural SMEs are the backbone of the economy and the main producers of food. We invest in business models which support sustainable and inclusive agricultural value chains.

We partner with a range of institutions combining our expertise with their needs, footprint and focus areas.
Investments
We invest in game-changing companies that can cater underserved mass-market opportunities. Our investments lead growth and social impact by anticipating major market trends. That approach enables us to generate strong financial and social return.
