Impact fund promotes female leadership
What is being promoted as the first impact fund to promote female leadership in the Asia Pacific has been launched by Hong Kong-based DFL Fund Management Limited.
The Delphinium Female Leadership Fund I. LP is an exempted limited partnership fund advised by Delphinium Capital Partners Limited and announced its successful first close late last year after raising US$16 million in new capital.
The fund said it had secured commitments from several family offices and successful entrepreneurs and that potential commitments were under negotiation with institutional investors and foundations seeking to make impact investments into female-led companies operating in Asia Pacific.
DFL Fund Management Limited executive director, Vivian Yan said the firm was excited with the opportunity to nurture and showcase successful female business leaders and their businesses.
The fund is an unlisted investment vehicle seeking to provide growth capital to mid-sized companies operating in the Asia Pacific with strong female participation at the C-level.
