Liquidity Guarantee Facility

Impact Goal: Catalyse private capital by de-risking EM&I investments and improving liquidity for a wider investor base Description: Octobre, a consortium established in 2020 by Cardano Development, Innpact, and Octobre S.A.S., is dedicated to bridging the significant finance gap in Emerging Markets and Impact (EM&I) assets, with a core focus on climate (SDG 13) and nature-based solutions (SDGs 14 and 15). Recognising the need for large-scale mobilisation of private capital towards these sectors, Octobre is developing the Octobre Liquidity Guarantee Facility (OLGF), an innovative financial solution designed to provide liquidity guarantees to investors in EM&I funds, thereby transforming illiquid investments into liquid assets.

Octobre proposes a liquidity guarantee mechanism that enables investors to exit their participations in EM&I funds under any circumstances, thereby offering a pathway to liquidity not previously available. This mechanism is expected to catalyse the mobilisation of additional private capital by making impact investments more attractive and accessible to a broader range of investors, including asset owners, asset managers, and retail banks.
