GPCA'sImpact Investing Councilconvened recently, led by Council Chair Marc Moser of Lightrock. Discussion highlights:
Geopolitical volatility is creating uneven portfolio impacts and new opportunities. Rising energy, fertilizer and logistics costs are affecting inflation, FX stability and SME performance across emerging markets, while opportunities are arising in food security, healthcare, clean energy and resilient domestic-demand sectors, particularly in India and Brazil.
A structural shift toward private credit is reshaping impact investing. DFIs and institutional investors are increasingly favoring private credit over equity to address liquidity pressures, raising concerns about the long-term availability of growth equity capital for impact-focused businesses and fund managers.
Fund managers are adapting fundraising and deployment strategies. Investors are targeting more resilient sectors; localizing supply chains; broadening engagement with Asian, Middle Eastern and sovereign wealth fund investors; and reframing impact opportunities around energy security, supply-chain resilience and economic competitiveness to attract new pools of capital.
In July 2018, Amethis invested in Merec, a Mozambique-based miller and packaged food manufacturer specializing in products such as maize flour, wheat flour, pasta, biscuits and animal feed.
With Amethis’ support, Merec expanded access to affordable staple foods while strengthening food security across Mozambique and the Southern Africa region. The company diversified its product mix, scaled domestic production and improved commercialization, including an educational campaign to introduce pasta to consumers who traditionally consumed bread and rice.
