Since inception, TriLinc has deployed over $1.5 billion across 100 enterprises operating in 35 countries, supporting growth-stage businesses that drive measurable impact in underserved markets.
In 2025, a global environment marked by economic volatility and evolving market dynamics reinforced a simple reality: disciplined private capital matters. More than ever, resilient investment strategies are essential to sustaining businesses that generate jobs, strengthen local economies, and advance climate solutions.
At TriLinc, we continue to operate with a clear conviction: when deployed with intention and rigor, private credit can deliver both competitive financial returns and meaningful, measurable impact.
Over the past year, we advanced this approach in three key ways:
As we look ahead, the focus remains unchanged: disciplined investing, measurable outcomes, and long-term value creation.

This International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, TriLinc Global honors the lives of Iranian women and girls who have paid an unimaginable price in the pursuit of freedom, dignity, and equality.
In recent months, a renewed wave of nationwide protests has been met with a harsh crackdown, amid reports of communication shutdowns, fear, and pressure on families seeking answers. In these protests, women have courageously stood shoulder to shoulder with men, often at the forefront. Young and old, mothers and daughters, and women from across Iran’s regions and ethnic communities have stepped forward with extraordinary resolve, refusing to be silenced even in the face of danger.
We remember that behind every headline is a person whose life mattered. Someone’s daughter, sister, friend, classmate, colleague. And while any public list will always be incomplete, human rights monitors and independent reporting have documented women and girls among those killed in the January 2026 protests, including:
We also remember the women and girls whose names the world learned in earlier waves of unrest, Mahsa (Jina) Amini, Nika Shakarami, Hadis Najafi, Sarina Esmailzadeh, and Armita Geravand, and the countless others whose families cannot safely speak their names aloud.
TriLinc honors their memory by reaffirming a simple principle. Women’s rights are human rights. We stand with families seeking truth, with communities calling for accountability, and with all who insist, peacefully and persistently, on a future where no one is killed, silenced, or punished for demanding freedom and equal dignity.

TriLinc Global shares its gratitude for Andrew Kassoy, who passed away in June 2025, for his visionary work in creating B Lab. Andrew leaves a persistent legacy: accelerating the impact investing sector’s ability to engage the capital markets and harness the power of private enterprise to generate financial, social and environmental returns – delivering benefits for all stakeholders. TriLinc became a certified B Corp (2011-2024), receiving “Best for the World” recognition in 2022 and 2017, and we continue to use the B Lab framework for managing our company. We send heartfelt condolences to Andrew’s family, and we mourn the loss of a generous, tenacious leader who helped activate the capital markets to change the world for the better.
