Blended Finance
22 August 2025
Combining concessional and commercial capital at financial close — with the structuring discipline institutional investors require.
Blended finance is frequently invoked as a solution to infrastructure funding gaps. In practice, blended structures succeed only where risk allocation is credible and documentation meets the standards of both concessional and commercial capital providers.
The role of concessional capital is catalytic — not substitutive. It must be deployed to address specific risk gaps that commercial capital cannot absorb, with clear accountability and governance.
Capernaum Capital structures blended finance architectures where project economics and counterparty profiles justify concessional engagement — with documentation and governance that commercial lenders can underwrite alongside DFI participation.
