To address the growing need for equity capital in the Former Soviet Union, Delphos International and Burlington Capital Groups teamed to create a regional/vertical market equity fund targeted at the region's agribusiness industry. Delphos International obtained a $75 million OPIC guarantee to support the capitalization of the fund, Agribusiness Partners International Limited ("API"). Total capitalization of the fund was $100 million, including a $5 million investment from another government-backed equity fund, The US-Russia Investment Fund (TUSRIF). In addition to supporting the fund's initial formation and fundraising effort, Delphos International identified potential investment opportunities for the fund, served on the fund's investment committee, and helped raise follow-on debt capital for several of the fund's portfolio companies. The fund is now fully invested and has achieved strong returns for its investors to date.
