BlueOrchard Finance S.A. was founded in 2001, in Geneva, as the first commercial manager of microfinance debt investments. One of the company's founders, Jean-Philippe de Schrevel, was managing the Dexia Micro-Credit fund, and the company became the advisor to this fund. In its ten years of existence and through its developments, BlueOrchard has grown its assets under management significantly, to a current USD 1.1 billion, and increased its product range to include a senior debt fund and structured products, a Private equity fund and an impact investing fund. The company currently employs 62 people, including 26 investment analysts, and through its investment vehicles, lends funds to 145 Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in 48 countries throughout the world.
