Investeringsfonds Groningen

IFG strives for financial and social returns. The goal of IFG is to invest in investment funds that partially invest their capital in SME companies in the province of Groningen. Based on this Fund-in-Fund principle, two types of returns are pursued: financial and social returns. Financial returns are important to promote opportunities for collaboration with market parties, such as professional fund managers. IFG exists to achieve returns and further strengthen the region. The obtained returns are reinvested in funds. Social returns mean that the economic structure in the province of Groningen is strengthened in a market-conforming manner and that direct and indirect jobs are created. The involvement of market parties is also essential to achieve this objective. The province of Groningen is a 100% shareholder of IFG and has outsourced fund management to the Northern Investment and Development Company (NOM). With more than 40 years of experience in providing risk capital and managing investment funds, NOM as a professional fund manager has a clear goal: investing in the region and realizing continuity based on financial returns. Fund information: The fund size of IFG is € 60 million. The fund runs until 2035. The funds in which investments are made are closed-end funds. IFG takes a maximum of 49.9% of the share capital in a target fund and invests a maximum of € 7.5 million per target fund. IFG aims for a capital multiplier of at least 2 (committed capital from IFG is matched 2x). IFG is looking for partners. These can be partners in Venture Capital (management), Private Equity, Family Offices, or jointly operating Informal Investors. The funds to be set up must be executed by a professional party. Experi
