In addition to the Singapore state investor, other cornerstone investors for its fourth fund—which closed on Nov 26 with investments totaling US$1.02 billion (S$1.36 billion)—included AIA and Prudential, along with development financial institutions such as the European Investment Bank and the United States' International Development Finance Corporation.
LeapFrog also drew significant commitments from global asset managers such as Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank and Van Lanschot Kempen, healthcare strategic investor Eli Lilly and Company, and foundations and endowments such as the Ford Foundation and the Imas Foundation, a foundation set up by the founder of global furniture company Ikea.
The US$1.02 billion raised—out of an initial target of US$1 billion—included US$808 million of primary fund commitments and up to US$210 million of pre-allocated co-investment.
The purpose of this fund is to accelerate high-impact healthcare and financial services companies in global growth markets.
