New Microfinance Fund offers above inflation returns
18-07-2008
The Developing World Markets Microfinance Fund promises to raise the financial returns often associated with microcredit, whilst continuing to relieve poverty through providing credit at the micro scale. Specifically the fund has the following attractions:
Social Returns - Microfinance is one of the most effective means of addressing poverty by enabling micro entrepreneurs to earn their way out of poverty. This fund enables the underlying microfinance institutions to lend more money, creating a substantial multiplier effect as loans are often of short duration. By facilitating 100,000 microloans it is targeted to have a positive impact on around four million individuals in developing nations.
Meaningful Financial returns - Microcredit is one of the fastest growing sectors of the financial markets, yet financial returns have often been very modest to the extent that it might almost be viewed as a gift of interest to further social goals. The Developing World Markets Microfinance Fund challenges this assumption by targetting financial returns of 7-10% before charges.
Diversification - The fund also provides exposure to a diverse portfolio of Microfinance assets by investing in many different microfinance banks across different regions.
Visibility - This fund raises the profile of microfinance amongst mainstream investors, thereby promoting microfinance as an asset class more generally
The fund is available for investments of £50,000 or more. Contact us for more information.
