Oryx Impact SL, a Spanish limited liability company, is raising a US$250 million fund of funds (the “Oryx Impact Fund” or the “Fund”) for African impact funds investing along the impact themes of i) job creation and economic development, ii) climate change adaptation and resilience, and iii) gender equality. The objective of the Fund is to break down the barriers for investment in Africa by: de-risking through diversification, giving access to and providing knowledge about funds and allowing for scale and ecosystem building. The Oryx Impact Fund will be domiciled in Luxembourg as RAIF.
The Fund will appoint Innpact to act as its external authorized fund manager (AIFM). Innpact holds a European Alternative Imvestment Fund Management license granted by the CSSF and qualifies as a Fund Manager. Given that the Fund will invest into other funds, it will hold securities and falls under MIFID regulation. For this reason, the GP to be incorporated in Luxembourg (the “GP”) will be advised by Oryx Impact SL through a subsidiary advisory agreement and in turn the GP will be part of the investment committee organised and run by Innpact to provide its knowledge and analysis on individual transaction. Additionally, Oryx Impact SL will provide advice to Innpact on impact and strategic matters. Activities of the Fund will involve multiple jurisdictions, namely Luxembourg (fund domicile and management), various jurisdictions for its LPs (including Morocco, Qatar, USA, EU and other African countries) and fund domiciliation jurisdictions for underlying funds (among others, Mauritius, Delaware, etc.). Oryx Impact SL is also setting up a Technical Assistance Facility (“TAF”) which will be set-up in parallel with philanthropic funds to support the underlying fund managers.
Oryx Impact SL invites reputable law firms with demonstrable expertise in supporting European Impact Funds in its marketing efforts in the USA.
