How does OPIC invest?
OPIC typically provides its support to a fund in the form of a senior, secured loan, and sells participations in these loans to U.S. eligible institutional investors in the U.S. capital markets. The certificates of participation (“COPs”) in these loans are backed with OPIC’s U.S. Government full faith and credit guaranty. Proceeds from the sale of COPs to these institutional investors (“COP holders”) are used to fund OPIC’s commitment.
