According to the FMO, GIP provides a mix of medium- and long-term financing through senior secured, unsecured, mezzanine, and subordinated debt instruments in high-impact sectors, primarily energy utility and storage, C&I, e-mobility, waste, water, and data centers. The Fund targets transactions in Southeast Asia and South Asia, with key markets to include Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
The capital flows into Asia's green economy are constrained by various factors, especially higher perceived risks in emerging markets, insufficient return for such risks, and the complex, fragmented ecosystem with many smaller projects. These factors pose a challenge to attracting the required climate finance debt volumes. The Fund's strategy is to provide a blended finance platform to finance marginally bankable green infrastructure projects in emerging Asia and catalyze capital flow to parts of the market where it is most needed and lacking. FMO's role as an anchor investor in the Fund's first closing contributes to the mobilization of private capital.
As stated by the FMO, Green Investments Partnership ("GIP") is a closed-ended debt fund of up to USD 1 billion to be managed by Pentagreen Capital Fund Management Pte. Ltd., a 50%-50% venture of HSBC and Temasek. GIP is one of the blended finance programs under Financing Asia's Transition Partnership ("FAST-P") launched by the Monetary Authority of Singapore ("MAS") to address climate finance gaps in emerging Asia.
