Financial description

Etimos Fund – Global Microfinance Debt aims to achieve its objective investing on a broadly diversified basis in short-to medium-term senior debt instruments: the Sub-Fund invests up to 90% of its assets in senior debt instruments in USD and Euro. This will include senior loans granted by the Fund to microfinance institutions. At least 10% of its assets will be invested in liquid assets.
The fund is open to well-informed investors and it is denominated in Euro.
The assumed Sub-Fund investment amount per investment project will typically be between EUR 0.5 million and EUR 5 million, but is bound by the single client exposure and other applicable investment restrictions.
The Sub-Fund offers a range of financial services to microfinance institutions and to fair trade/organic oriented producers. The beneficiaries institutions are mainly domiciled in developing and transition countries.
Investments in USD will be hedged to a large extent against EUR by the Currency Risk Manager. The hedging technique used is based on EUR/USD forward exchange contracts at the time of investment with a roll at each Valuation Day + 2 business days.
No dividend is expected to be paid to the Shareholders. The net results of the investments of the Sub-Fund and the net realized profits will not be distributed but will automatically be reinvested in the Sub-Fund.
