Activity Description: Small Enterprise Assistance Funds ("SEAF") is a global investment firm focused on providing growth capital and operational support to businesses in emerging markets and those underserved by traditional sources of capital. SEAF selectively makes structured debt and equity investments in locally owned enterprises with high growth potential.

Based in Washington D.C., SEAF invests in more than 20 countries around the world through an international network of 15 offices in Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Investors include a cross section of public and private institutions, including several of the international finance institutions, local pension funds, insurance companies, banks and family offices.

Since its inception in 1989, SEAF’s successful expansion into a global organization stems from realizing attractive returns for our investors and building value in our portfolio companies. Central to SEAF’s ability to source opportunities and work with management is our on-the-ground presence in the economic regions of focus. As a global organization with a local presence, SEAF is uniquely able to provide management with hands-on operational support and provide businesses in emerging economies with the global “connections” that accelerate their growth and profitability.

SEAF’s global investment teams pride themselves on being solutions-oriented business people who work with our local partners to achieve solid economic growth, with equally solid returns for our investors.
