Ensuring a clear understanding of our data.
As a development institution focused on learning and improvement, we understand the importance of operating transparently. Transparency is a key enabler for achieving our development mission.
We also recognise as a publicly-owned body that the information we publish about our investments, our operations and our governance holds us accountable to a range of stakeholders, including Parliament and the public. By providing accurate and timely information, we can help inform public debate about our effectiveness.
Over the last years we have grown our external reporting. This includes committing to a broad range of voluntary disclosures, including reporting under the Operating Principles for Impact Management, whilst also being subject to the Federal law on the principle of transparency in the administration (LTrans) and Federal Act on Data Protection (SR 235.1).
We strive to increase our level of transparency on an ongoing basis, within the limits of our available resources.
We publish data from various sources on our website and update them at different times. There are three main categories of data:
We publish information pertaining to the portfolio investments in the investment database.
Our investment database includes investments active at 31 December 2022, supplemented with all new investment committed since that date. We plan to add historical information about investments matured or exited before 31 December 2022.
Information about new commitments is added on an a regular basis. This information is based on the information available at the date of the commitment and is generally not updated thereafter, with the exception of data relating to the investment partner funds’ underlying investees of the funds, and derived data such as geographical locations, which is updated annually (currently as at 31 December 2023)
Our investments can be filtered by name, type, year of commitment, geography, country, sector, asset class, SDGs and status.
The investment map is for illustrative purposes only.

While we have used our reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of the data used in this website. The data is not audited and should be read as indicative of magnitude rather than exact figures.
Data is provided to SIFEM by its investment partners, including fund managers that have invested our capital (and the capital of others), and has not been audited or independently verified by SIFEM or any other third party.
We are occasionally unable to disclose information for legal, regulatory or other reasons. We anticipate that these exceptions will be rare.
We are improving our information systems during 2023. Until the end of 2023, the quality of our data may vary and there may be some data gaps.
