History
Triple Jump first began as an in-house investment team that was set up within Oxfam Novib (Oxfam Netherlands) in 1998 to manage the Oxfam Novib and later on the ASN-Novib Microcredit Fund. Over time, it became clear that this pool of talent could be used to attract additional partners and manage new investment funds with diverse goals and risk profiles in a way that would create synergy for the benefit of the microfinance clients. The goal was to establish an organization that could respond more effectively to the needs of microfinance institutions in all three stages of their development, hence the name “Triple Jump.” In 2006, this team was spun off from Oxfam Novib in order to create a new fund management company with its headquarters in Amsterdam.
Triple Jump Advisory Services Foundation was established at this time as a separate foundation under the Triple Jump umbrella. In 2012 the Advisory Services team has been incorporated in the fund management company.
Since its founding, Triple Jump has grown rapidly, from just 3 to over 36 full-time employees, and has signed contracts to manage 3 additional investment funds.
