Luxembourg, September 13, 2025 – LAGreen, the first green bond fund dedicated to Latin America, has successfully closed its largest transaction in Senior Notes issuance to date. A €30 million investment from GLS Bank and its client network finalized last month, represents a significant milestone for the fund, its largest single investment by a private investor.
This latest investment marks the fourth Senior Notes tranche issued by LAGreen and underscores the fund’s ongoing success in mobilizing private institutional capital to support environmental and climate finance in emerging markets.
As the first bank to invest in LAGreen’s Senior Notes, GLS Bank is helping to set a precedent for private sector engagement in the fund. This investment builds on a decade-long partnership with Finance in Motion and reflects a deep, shared commitment to advancing sustainable finance through new channels.
“We are proud to welcome GLS Bank and its clients to LAGreen,” said Myriel Frische, Portfolio Manager of LAGreen. “This investment not only reflects our strong relationship with GLS Bank but also shows that a growing number of institutional investors recognize the value and integrity of LAGreen’s approach. We are especially honored that the fund has successfully passed GLS Bank’s rigorous impact due diligence process and has been added to their investment universe.”
“Social inequality and the climate crisis are intertwined. Finance in Motion and GLS Bank have recognized this and pursue the goal of channeling money into a sustainable direction. It can then be used for ecological change, social inclusion, and economic stability in emerging and developing countries,” said Ingo Küpper, Senior Investment and Portfolio Management Officer at GLS Bank.
GLS Bank’s commitment to impact and sustainability is reflected in their decision to offer their clients access to high-impact investment opportunities. The transaction reinforces LAGreen’s strategy of mobilizing substantial capital from the private sector to accelerate the green transition in Latin America through high-quality green bond investments.
