Description

IFC Equity Mobilization Department (AMC) within the Treasury & Syndications Vice President Unit (VPU) at IFC, mobilizes and manages capital for private equity investments in emerging markets.

AMC was created in 2009 to provide investors with access to IFC's emerging markets investment pipeline and to expand the supply of long-term capital to these markets, enhancing IFC's development goals and generating profits for investors by leveraging IFC's global reach, standards, investment approach, and track record.

AMC has raised US$10.2 billion through thirteen investment funds that invest across a variety of sectors, geographies, and strategies.

AMC is looking to hire a Senior Investment Manager (G2) to work across three of its funds - IFC Financial Institutions Growth Fund, IFC Emerging Asia Fund and IFC Global Infrastructure Fund.

The position will be based in Singapore.


IFC Financial Institutions Group Funds (FIG)

These funds are currently managing growth equity and sub-debt investments in financial services sector companies (banks, insurance companies, non-bank financial institutions, and fintech companies) operating in emerging markets globally.

The latest 2015 vintage $505 mm fund (IFC Financial Institutions Growth Fund) is in the process of considering the follow-on fund in 2023/2024.

IFC Asset Management Company's Emerging Asia Fund (EAF)
This fund co-invests with IFC across all sectors in twenty-five countries across Emerging Asia and raised $693m in 2016/17.

It has since deployed approximately $600m in 19 investments with two possible remaining pipeline deals to close by Q1 2023, so the focus is shifting to actively managing these investments to generate attractive returns for investors, with a second fund being considered in 2023/24.
