Cerberus Capital Management

Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., a global leader in alternative investing, accomplished the strategic acquisition of SGI Frontier Capital ("SGI") in late 2018. Cerberus Frontier now is the frontier markets investment platform for Cerberus. With more than 20 investment professionals across six locations in Africa and Asia, Cerberus Frontier has an established record of delivering strong investment returns, while providing unique exposure to untapped frontier markets. It manages several hundred million dollars of investments across various markets in Asia and Africa and works in partnership with some of the world’s most prestigious institutional investors. 

In Georgia, Cerberus Frontier manages the Caucasus Clean Energy Fund I (the “Fund” or “CCEF”), which it closed in November 2016. Anchor investors include the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund (“GEEREF”) and Oesterreichische Entwicklungsbank AG, the Development Bank of Austria (“OeEB”). Other investors include Georgia’s sovereign wealth fund (“Partnership Fund”), the Dutch Development Bank (“FMO”) and a private investment firm (“Anthos”).

CCEF is focused on making equity investments into small and medium-sized (10-20MW) hydropower plants exclusively in Georgia. The Fund believes that the development of many small and medium-sized hydropower plants has been hindered by a lack of equity financing available in the market. The Fund seeks to solve this problem through CCEF by making equity available to developers and thereby helping to unlock the potential of Georgia’s small and medium-sized hydropower plants.
