edit

CDC is a UK government-owned fund of funds, with net assets of US$4 billion. They use their own balance sheet to invest in private equity funds focused on the emerging markets of Asia, Africa and Latin America, with particular emphasis on South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

CDC is seeking preliminary proposals from fund managers for the formation and management of a commercial fund that will invest primarily in sustainable forestry in Sub-Saharan Africa.

In 2007, net assets increased by 33% and total post tax returns were £672m. CDC has outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by 20% in 2007.
