Abstract
Blended finance has long been seen as a key route to deploy concessionary forms of capital—often managed by development finance institutions, multilateral development banks, and others—to attract private investors into emerging and frontier economies that are starved of commercial investment. These deals blend public, philanthropic, and private capital into a single investment structure, with each playing a distinct role and bearing different levels of risk and return. When well-designed, these structures enable private investors to access opportunities that would otherwise fall outside of their risk-return thresholds—unlocking new markets, diversifying portfolios, and generating measurable impact. The paper provides a typology and a scorecard for blended finance funds to facilitate the scaling up of this financial tool.
