What Triple Jump does

Triple Jump is an Amsterdam-headquartered impact-focused investment manager founded in 2006 as a spin-off from Oxfam Novib. The firm manages or advises seven to eight investment funds, portfolios, and mandates totaling approximately €1.3 billion in Assets Under Management (home page cites "close to €1 billion"), deploying private debt, equity, mezzanine, and fund-of-funds investments alongside technical assistance to financial intermediaries, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), clean energy companies, affordable housing providers, and climate-focused ventures across emerging markets.

The firm's investment activity is organized around five impact themes — Financial Inclusion, SME Finance ("missing middle"), Affordable Housing, Access to Clean Energy, and Climate & Nature — and spans Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and the Caucasus through six regional offices (Amsterdam, Nairobi, Lima, Mexico City, Tbilisi, Bangkok). Its fund platform includes flagship vehicles such as the Dutch Good Growth Fund (DGGF, with PwC for Dutch MoFA), Energy Entrepreneurs Growth Fund (EEGF, with Shell Foundation and FMO), Oxfam Novib Fund, ASN Microkredietfonds, MicroBuild (with Habitat for Humanity), CEI Africa (with KfW), the Global Gender-Smart Fund (GGSF), and the Financial Inclusion Resilience Fund (FIRF). Since inception Triple Jump has financed roughly 600 portfolio companies across 2,023 transactions, with cumulative attributed impact of 3.6M clients reached (71% women, 72% rural) and €2.2B in cumulative capital deployed.

Triple Jump generates revenue primarily through management and advisory fees on its managed funds and mandates, with secondary economics from fund investment returns. The firm is supervised by the Dutch Authority for Financial Markets (AFM license 15001854) and the Dutch Central Bank, holds OPIM certification and UN PRI signatory status, and serves institutional LPs including development finance institutions, government agencies, and impact-focused commercial investors. The firm operates a sales-led, B2B go-to-market model with no retail distribution and limited public disclosure of fee economics.
