Investments

DWM’s investing does not compromise on returns or on impact. Our investing requires deep knowledge of societal needs in underserved regions, rigor in evaluating counterparties, creativity in structuring deals, and unflagging commitment to ongoing monitoring. DWM brings all these aspects to our equity investments, credit investments, relationships with our direct investors, and partnerships with asset managers.

Private credit

Our private credit team has experience in more than 60 emerging and frontier countries. Staying true to our mandate for impact, DWM brings a solutions-oriented approach to both sides of our credit investing—meaning it is our role to solve fully for investors’ portfolio needs and for investees’ financing needs in a way that can engender success.
