Triple Jump at a Glance

Our story

Here's How We Got Started

Triple Jump B.V. was established in 2006 following a strategic spin-off from Oxfam Novib. What began as a small, mission-driven team dedicated primarily to advancing financial inclusion has since evolved into a dynamic and versatile investment management company. Over the years, we have expanded significantly — growing from a handful of passionate professionals to a team of more than 115+ Jumpers operating across six international offices.

Today, our work spans multiple functions, including investment management, advisory services, and portfolio development. We manage or provide guidance on seven distinct investment funds, portfolios, and mandates, each designed with a dual objective: to generate meaningful social impact while delivering sustainable financial returns. This combination of mission and performance continues to drive our growth and shape the way we contribute to more inclusive and resilient economies around the world.

Our Mission & Vision

As a purpose-driven investment manager, we are committed to creating lasting positive impact in the communities and markets where we operate. Our work is guided by a clear vision and mission that define who we are, what we stand for, and how we strive to contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable world.

Our Mission

We go where investing capital empowers people and improves lives.

Our Vision

We believe that investing in entrepreneurship will unlock the potential to overcome global challenges related to poverty, inequality, climate and nature.

About our Funds and Mandates

We manage and advise seven funds and mandates across our three business lines—Financial Institutions, Direct Investments, and Fund Investments. Each is built around a dual objective: delivering meaningful impact alongside strong financial returns. Our portfolios address key global themes including financial inclusion, clean energy, missing middle finance, and more. (click through to overview funds and mandates page)
