Excited to present the second edition of our Global Equity Fund newsletter, featuring key highlights from Jan to March 2024. Discover the impactful strides we've taken across various sectors. We are pleased to share this update with our esteemed stakeholders and foster new partnerships. Here's to our continued efforts in driving positive economic change! 🌐💼

Very excited to announce that Nepal Infrastructure Investment Fund (NIIF), a permanent capital vehicle jointly promoted by Global Equity Fund (GEF), Himalayan Life Insurance, and Himalayan Everest Insurance, and managed by GEF, has made investments in Classic View Resort. Situated in the hills of Budhanilkantha, boasting a breathtaking view of the Shivapuri Forest Area, Classic View Resort is a luxury boutique establishment.
Currently in its final construction phase, Classic View Resort is scheduled to commence soft opening operations in June 2024. This upscale resort aims to cater to a discerning niche of tourists, offering an unparalleled eco-friendly boutique hotel experience amidst the scenic splendor of the Shivapuri forest.

The infusion of capital from NIIF is earmarked to expedite the construction process and integrate luxury hotel franchise elements into the Classic View Resort, aligning with international standards and protocols. Through this investment, NIIF seeks to bolster the tourism sector in Nepal by establishing a premier luxury retreat destination.

Manish Thapa, the Managing Director of the GEF highlighted, “This partnership exemplifies our commitment to fostering sustainable tourism development in Nepal. With its unparalleled location and commitment to eco-friendly luxury, Classic View Resort is poised to become a premier destination for discerning travelers. Our infusion of capital will not only accelerate the completion of the resort but also elevate its offerings to international standards. We are confident that this investment will not only yield attractive returns but also contribute significantly to the growth of Nepal's tourism sector, creating lasting positive impacts on the local economy and community.”

One aspect Global Equity Fund team is good at is to share the knowledge that our team possess. We always believe that sharing knowledge is the most fundamental act of friendship. Because it is a way you can give something without loosing something.

Our team at Global Equity Fund believe that the only irreplaceable capital we possesses is the knowledge and ability of our people. The productivity of that capital depends on how effectively we can share our competence with those who can use it.

We are constantly sharing our knowledge with our portfolio companies to larger audience specially with students so that we can amplify a very vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem in Nepal.

Wishing Happy International Women's Day to all
