- Third-party technical experts relevant to each opportunity
Our deals will meet your return goals and improve everyone’s quality of life
Our track record speaks for itself. With $35 million invested to date, we have achieved returns across our portfolio of direct investment that are well above concessionary norms. How do we do it? By:
- Underwriting at the highest standard, with risk and risk mitigation at the core of the investigation and financial structuring
- Investing in industry sectors with solid underlying fundamentals
- Reducing risk through diversification, including investments in various sectors and at various durations. Our investment in most transactions is $0.5 – $2 million, with syndication creating opportunities for much larger deals. We often act as a first funder.
You may prefer a risk-adjusted market rate of return or we can balance concessionary return with impact.
In addition to investing, we contribute to the success of our investments by addressing the policies, information gaps, financing challenges and other barriers to commercialization, sometimes by providing grants.
TAF can play many roles in financial transactions
