Value proposition

Sweden’s development finance institution. Reducing poverty through sustainable investments.

Swedfund is Sweden's Development Finance Institution for sustainable investments in developing countries. Our mission is to finance and develop sustainable companies in order to create jobs and improve access to socially important products and services. A well-developed private sector with jobs offering decent working conditions leads to stable communities and reduces poverty. We invest within the sectors Energy & Climate, Financial inclusion, and Sustainable Enterprises.

As a state-owned company, Swedfund is managed by the Swedish Ministry of Finance. The operations are financed partly through capital injections for which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible and through reflows from the own portfolio.

Swedfund was founded in 1979 and has since the start made more than 240 investments in more than 60 countries.

Swedfund’s head office is located in Stockholm, and it holds regional offices in Nairobi, Kenya and Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
