American Capital Financial Group (“ACF Group”) announced that as of January 31st 2011 it launched the American Capital Development Fund L.P. (“ACDF”) with a $2.2 million investment from the general partners and projecting to raise up to $ 50 million dollars in this first year.

​ACDF has established a branch office in New York City to facilitate investor relations with institutional investors, and has also formed a strategic partnership with Washington D.C. based Interlink Capital Strategies (“ICS”), a business development firm that specializes in emerging markets. ICS has tremendous experience in structured and trade finance, loan restructurings and workouts and in the use of bilateral and multilateral financing programs from the U.S., Europe and Asia. This new fund will leverage the successful strategy of the ACF Group and its principals in asset based lending trade finance to and from emerging markets as well as serving domestic small and middle market companies.

American Capital Financial Group was established in 2003 to provide and develop funding vehicles and investment platforms for small and medium sized businesses in the United States and Latin America filling a niche where traditional funding and credit were limited and in great demand. As of 2009 and through 2010, American Capital Financial Trading Corp., the originating and operative entity of the ACF Group, has disbursed over $ 25 million in asset based lending credit facilities to a diversified number of clients and as of December 2010 had an active portfolio of $ 7.8 million. American Capital Assets Management LLC, its other subsidiary, is an investment platform conformed by individual portfolios totaling $ 15 million as of December 2010. American Capital Assets Management invests solely in real assets.
​
ACDF’s strategy is to develop a diversified portfolio of asset based lending investments across selected markets and sectors of Latin America as well as asset based commodity trade finance from emerging markets. ACDF seeks projects in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Chile, and Argentina as well as certain selected countries in the Caribbean as well as emerging markets in Asia.
