Impact thesis
The objective of the Company is to create both social and economic value for its MFI investments and their clients, and consequently for its investors. By focussing on scale and efficiency, the Company aims to increase outreach and sustainability of its MFI investments.

The company intends to increase financial inclusion of the un- and underbanked by providing microfinance products through MFI's and other channels.
Furthermore, the Company’s initiators have built an integrated support system for the Company’s MFI investments. Through its strategic alliances with commercial banks, donors and capacity builders the Company can offer its MFI investees the best possible support and access to technical assistance. MFIs will be able to benefit from support and guidance in the fields of capital structuring and financial management, governance and transparency, MIS and business planning, operational efficiency and technology, and innovation in products and distribution channels.
