Built as a public-private partnership, GCPF offers a platform that unites different parties towards a common goal. GCPF funds itself across three share classes: Class C Shares represent the Fund’s first-loss equity, Class B Shares rank senior to the C Share portion, and Class A shares rank senior to the other two share classes but junior to all other creditors of the Fund.
While Class C shares are essentially designed to correspond to the expectation of the governments or donors, Class B and Class A shares are of a more commercial nature and are currently held by development banks and the investment manager. The Fund leverages these share classes with private investors who invest in notes and Class A shares.
