SEAF Latam Growth Fund

The SEAF Latam Growth Fund (LGF)  is a generalist private equity fund investing in SMEs in Latin America. The fund was launched in 2008 with SIFEM as one of its sponsors together with BIO and Finnfund. SIFEM committed USD 7.0 million to the fund on behalf of SECO.

The fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve medium to long term capital appreciation by investing in Peruvian and Colombian unlisted emerging and growth oriented small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through equity and equity-related instruments. Through those investments, the fund is expected to accelerate the growth of portfolio companies over a period of 3 - 5 years, after which time the fund manager is going to exit the fund’s positions.

LGF is managed by Small Enterprise Assistance Funds (SEAF), a global investment firm specializing in SME investment. Based in Washington D.C., SEAF invests multiple countries through an international network of offices in Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
