Why SEAF Sees Equity as Key to Economic Development

SEAF employs both debt and equity investments, but as CEO Bert van der Vaart explains, there is an excess amount of debt available in the global markets, and there are perils for entrepreneurs in developing countries borrowing in USD. Equity, which can be hard to come by in many countries, can provide entrepreneurs with a buffer for their businesses. SEAF, through its use of equity, partners with entrepreneurs and when they succeed, SEAF succeeds.
