Dalberg Capital

Dalberg Capital is an experienced advisor on impact investing. We partner with a diverse range of funders and investors to maximize the efficiency and impact of their investments. We help our clients identify and address the most important issues for their investment strategies by generating robust investment hypotheses and impact themes. We bridge our client’s objectives with the reality of local contexts, devising strategies that guide effective execution and generate financial and social returns.

Dalberg Capital advises clients throughout the investment cycle – from sourcing and vetting deals, to executing transactions, and managing portfolios. By tapping into our extensive network, we generate robust transaction pipelines in line with a client’s goals and propose investment recommendations. We conduct due diligence on identified targets, oversee the structuring and negotiation of deals, and monitor and evaluate the success of deals post investment.

We provide holistic advisory services throughout the impact investing process, including strategy development, transaction advisory, and post transaction advisory. Our vast experience across geographies and sectors allows us to support our clients to identify and meet feasible investment objectives and requirements. We build and maintain portfolios that are equally driven by purpose and performance.

We specialize in designing and structuring impact investment funds and instruments that mobilize significant amounts of capital to tackle development challenges. We create new financial vehicles, tools, and products that increase the effectiveness and efficiency of investments. We work with a range of investors – including institutional investors, development finance institutions, donors, foundations – to design successful financial instruments and unlock new sources of capital. Ultimately, these new solutions better meet the needs of underserved communities and generate improved financial and social returns.

In our innovative finance work, we bring together multi-lateral organizations, governments, corporations and non-profits to develop effective solutions and unlock new sources of funding. Our approach to innovative finance is to identify financial bottlenecks in the development space; find untapped opportunities in financial products and structures; bring together stakeholders to create mutually agreeable partnerships; and design tailored financing solutions.      

Dalberg Capital has worked extensively in energy and natural resource markets, with deep expertise in financing centralized and decentralized renewable energy solutions globally. We have established energy financing facilities and investment funds for development finance institutions, and completed due diligence for private sector investors. We have advised a diverse range of clients, from energy suppliers to international financial institutions, and local, national, and regional regulators and governments.

We have deep expertise in creating effective and innovative ways to finance health interventions in the developing world. We have a thorough understanding of the health financing markets globally, and more broadly, the challenges and opportunities across the healthcare landscape. We have designed, implemented, and advised on many financing instruments that blend public and private approaches to improving health, including the Mozambique Malaria Bond, the Cataract Bond, HUGinsure, and the Commodities Credit UNICEF.
