MOBILIST supports investment solutions to deliver the large and sustainable capital flows needed to realise developing countries’ development and climate ambitions. MOBILIST invests capital, delivers technical assistance, conducts research and builds partnerships to catalyse investment in new listed products.
About usMOBILIST has supported the launch of a new Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) designed to broaden institutional investment in African sovereign debt markets. Developed with Legal & General Asset Management (L&G), the fund is the latest step in MOBILIST's effort to build the market infrastructure needed to attract larger pools of private capital into African economies. This is the first time a UK government programme has seeded an ETF. By helping the fund launch at a credible initial size, MOBILIST is demonstrating how development finance can work with major asset managers and public markets to create investable products capable of mobilising capital at scale.
Read moreThe Green Guarantee Company (GGC) has closed its first two transactions, using initial capital from MOBILIST and other shareholders to mobilise $US70 million for projects expected to provide access to clean energy for over 4.6 million people in sub-Saharan Africa. MOBILIST provided technical assistance funding to support the larger of these two transactions – a green bond to be listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE).
MOBILIST made a second equity investment in the World Bank Group’s Emerging Market Securitisation Programme (EMSP), backing a model designed to mobilise private capital into emerging markets through publicly listed instruments on the London Stock Exchange (LSEG). Through the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank Group has closed its second securitisation transaction under the EMSP.
MOBILIST made an anchor investment in the listing of the Spearhead Africa Infrastructure Fund (SAIF) on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). SAIF is the first infrastructure fund to list on the NSE. By making listed infrastructure debt investment accessible to all investors for the first time, the listing is creating a new asset class in the Kenyan capital market and boosting investment in infrastructure crucial to the region’s growth.
This report documents the design, structure, and early impact of Pakistan's first PKR-denominated, rated, and secured green bond — the Parwaaz Green Action Bond (PGAB).

This Risk Control study, commissioned by MOBILIST and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), examines the role of specialist guarantee companies in boosting investment and growth in developing countries. The report aims to inform donor-country decision makers considering whether to invest in specialist guarantee companies.
Weak exit routes and limited liquidity constrain capital markets in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). Across infrastructure and real estate, project developers often struggle to sell down or refinance operating assets, which slows capital recycling and constrains their ability to originate new projects. This report examines how scalable secondary market vehicles can help address these constraints by providing structured exit pathways for existing investors, improving liquidity, and supporting more effective capital recycling.
