2026/Q3 Blue Resilience Capital Brief: Private Funds

The 2026/Q3 Blue Resilience Capital Brief presents a pre-screened portfolio of 19 blue resilience private-market funds and blended finance vehicles currently raising capital, with a combined target fund size of USD 2.1 billion. It profiles the portfolio by fund model, geography, manager track record, investment instruments and target impact outcomes, and sets out the ways investors, corporates and foundations can participate.

This edition also draws on a dataset of 67 dedicated blue resilience funds launched since 2012 to examine how the market has evolved. It covers the growth in fund formation, the shift towards commercial strategies, the continuing role of catalytic and blended capital, and the gap between current fund sizes and institutional scale. It also outlines what investors should look for when assessing manager capability and impact integrity, including where outcome measurement could deepen.

The brief is part of the Blue Resilience Capital Initiative, which connects capital providers to a pre-screened pipeline of nature-based coastal investments, spanning projects and funds.
