Project Catalyst Tracking gender lens investing activity in private markets

This report serves as a snapshot of the activity of gender lens funds in private markets. It is aimed primarily at fund managers, Limited Partners, ecosystem builders, and researchers who are actively engaged in the field of gender lens investing or who are interested in better understanding the field. While the report captures a broad set of information about 175 gender lens funds, representing the work of 126 fund managers from around the globe, it is important to acknowledge that an even broader context exists. There are segments within the gender finance ecosystem that are not captured because the investors did not report data nor publicise their gender-focused initiatives. Additionally, this report focuses on activity in private markets only. There are also gender lens equity and debt funds, gender bonds, and other securities that are trading in public markets.
