Fund geography
Emerging countries (256) / Latin America and the Caribbean (38) / Caribbean (8)
SCIM Pledge Fund is incorporated under Dutch law in 2016 with Suriname Capital Investment Management as its GP. The pledge fund structure provides the investors with pre-drawdown transparency in the chosen deals.
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through the investment in primarily SMEs in the Caribbean, which are believed to be innovative and competitive players in their industry. The opportunities within the Caribbean are primarily created by the sizable finance gap effecting SME and the lack of Private Equity activity in the SME finance market up until this point.
The fragmented state of the region’s economy, provides room for expansion from national to regional level. The finance gap, combined with insufficient levels of managerial knowledge, have made it impossible to exploit the room for expansion created by the CARICOM free trade union between the 15 largest nations within the Caribbean.
The Fund will focus on providing growth and venture capital in the key sectors of Agribusiness, Renewable Energy, Water, Waste management, Technology and Bioprospecting.

Impact thesis
The primary impact objective of the Fund is to help increase the income of the population above poverty level by stimulating environmentally sustainable production. The region has tremendous potential due to its geographic resources, which can be developed to high standards while maintaining a sustainable long-term production horizon in mind.
By investing in innovative sustainable enterprises that have a multifaceted positive influence on the economy and environment as a whole, the Fund facilitates the improvement of living standards and the conservation of the ecosystem.
The Fund’s investments are governed by criteria geared towards (1) the sustainable utilization of natural resources, (2) cultural knowledge, (3) innovative solutions to facilitate the alleviation of poverty, and (4) expansion opportunities. These will be measured and monitored by using non- financial IRIS metrics and the commitment to become a GIIRS rated fund.
