Triple Jump
Triple Jump is a Dutch impact investor founded in 2006 that deploys capital into microfinance and SME debt across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Triple Jump
Triple Jump was founded in 2006 as a spin-off from the Dutch development bank FMO. It operates as an impact investment manager specializing in financial inclusion, managing a portfolio of microfinance and SME debt funds. The firm's capital comes from a mix of institutional investors, development finance institutions, and private wealth. The firm invests through debt instruments — loans, bonds, and guarantees — across microfinance institutions, agricultural lenders, and renewable energy companies. Geographic focus includes Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Notable portfolio companies include ASA International and BRAC Bank in Bangladesh. Triple Jump's team of roughly 60 professionals works from offices in Amsterdam, Nairobi, Lima, and Colombo. In January 2025, the firm closed its Triple Jump Inclusive Finance Fund III at €350M (per the firm, January 2025). The firm also manages an active renewable energy investment program. What distinguishes Triple Jump is its blended-finance structure — it pools catalytic capital from governments and foundations with commercial investor commitments to unlock risk-adjusted returns in underserved markets. The firm does not operate a single-family-office structure; it is a specialized asset manager governed by an independent board.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Triple Jump?
Ruurd Brouwer serves as Chief Investment Officer, responsible for fund allocation and portfolio strategy. Henk van der Heijden is Managing Director, overseeing the firm's overall direction. Investment decisions are made by the firm's investment committee, which includes senior professionals from the Amsterdam headquarters (per Triple Jump, public record).
How does Triple Jump source proprietary deal flow?
Triple Jump originates deals through its network of local field offices in Nairobi, Lima, and Colombo, plus partnerships with microfinance networks and development finance institutions. The firm has relationships with over 100 microfinance institutions across emerging markets. Deal flow also comes from repeat investments with existing portfolio companies (per Triple Jump, public record).
Is Triple Jump structured as a family office or an asset manager?
Triple Jump is a specialized impact investment manager, not a family office. It is privately owned but operates with an independent board and a governance structure typical of institutional asset managers. The firm manages third-party capital from pension funds, insurance companies, and development finance institutions.
Does Triple Jump participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Triple Jump primarily makes direct investments in debt instruments — loans, bonds, and guarantees — targeting microfinance institutions and SMEs. The firm does not operate as a fund-of-funds. It also manages closed-end funds, such as the Triple Jump Inclusive Finance Fund III, into which external investors commit capital (per the firm, January 2025).
What investment stages does Triple Jump typically target?
Triple Jump focuses on growth-stage microfinance institutions and SMEs that need expansion capital. The firm does not invest in startups or venture-stage companies. Its typical ticket size ranges from €1M to €15M per transaction (per the firm, public record).
Which sectors does Triple Jump explicitly focus on?
Triple Jump's core focus is financial inclusion, but it also invests in renewable energy, agriculture, and healthcare — where those sectors overlap with microfinance and SME lending. The firm explicitly avoids direct equity investments and does not invest in extractive industries, tobacco, or weapons (per the firm, public record).
Where does Triple Jump operate geographically?
Triple Jump invests across Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Latin America. It maintains local offices in Kenya, Peru, and Sri Lanka to support origination and portfolio management. The firm does not invest in China or North America.
