Lendable, a London-based asset-backed credit provider focused on fast-growing companies in emerging and developed markets, has announced the first close of two new blended-finance impact funds, raising more than $300 million toward a target of over $500 million. The milestone marks a major step in the firm’s effort to deliver commercial returns alongside measurable social and sustainable impact globally. Lendable’s two funds Lendable MSME Fintech Credit Fund 2 (LMFCF2) and the Lendable Transportation and Energy Fund (LTEF) were designed to support technology-enabled businesses that expand financial access and foster sustainable economic growth. LMFCF2’s senior tranche has secured a rare investment-grade rating, highlighting confidence in the firm’s disciplined credit strategy and performance history. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has committed $86 million across both funds, joined by a US-based publicly owned financial institution as well as leading development finance institutions (DFIs), family offices and philanthropic foundations. LMFCF2 aims to provide asset-backed capital to next-generation financial services companies expanding access for underserved populations, while LTEF targets small and medium enterprises advancing sustainable technologies in sectors such as clean mobility, renewable energy and resilient agriculture. Lendable’s combined assets under advisory now approach $1 billion following this first close. The fresh capital will be deployed to help global growth companies scale with both commercial returns and tangible impact strengthening financial inclusion, sustainable transport, and energy solutions in key emerging markets across Latin America, Africa and Asia.
