Impact Performance

Impact thesis

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have significant potential to drive economic growth and innovation in developing markets. Additionally, many SMEs pursue triple bottom line returns and as such play a critical role in helping to solve important global challenges such as poverty reduction and climate change.
Despite their impact potential, SMEs in developing countries face significant constraints in accessing capital. This “missing middle” in terms of both debt and equity financing exists as their average capital requirement is too small and risky for commercial banks and private equity players, but too big for microfinance institutions. The Fund will thus invest in Mexican SMEs which have adopted innovative business models focused on commercializing environmentally friendly products and/or alleviating poverty by serving low-income, BoP communities.
