Our investment goals and strategy
Double bottom line
We focus on two bottom lines – financial returns and social impact. Our aim is to deliver returns that are stable, competitive, and unaffected by market swings. Plus, we hedge against foreign currency changes and interest rate risks.
Financial inclusion
Our fund provides private loans to microfinance and other financial institutions in emerging markets. These in turn cater to the needs of low-income groups and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) who have difficulty accessing funding.
Diversification
You do not want to have all your eggs in one basket. So, diversify your portfolio with a microfinance fund that combines a state-of-the-art investment process with solid risk management and a local network of on-the-ground experts.
