Who is our customer
Zubr Capital Fund I is the first Belarus-focused institutional private equity fund managed by an experienced, locally based team of investment professionals, which will support domestic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
What is our funding objective?
Zubr Capital Fund I has been set up to invest in fast-growing, export-oriented companies that leverage Belarus’s cost competitive platform to generate global revenues primarily in IT, consumer and light manufacturing. It will provide them with growth financing that often remains unavailable otherwise in the country. It will also equip domestic businesses with modern financial skills and techniques needed to successfully compete domestically and on international markets.
Why do we fund this investment?
The intended investment would support the core strategy of FMO, by deploying capital in the “Circle around Europe”. In addition, the Fund invests in a country that shows low PE penetration, which means that FMO would be additional by mobilizing more capital in the region.
What is the Environmental and Social categorization rationale?
The target and pipeline of Zubr Capital Fund I mainly consist of low-medium Environmental & Social risk activities. FMO and the Fund will further develop their E&S management system. FMO’s investment code will be applied.
