The Social Investment Fund (“FIS” for its Spanish acronym) is an innovative financial tool in the Chilean market, which aims at promoting an investment approach involving social/environmental challenges while generating financial profit. This fund belongs to the consulting and private equity firm “Ameris Capital,” although during its development a wide range of private actors have been involved. An independent committee, with representatives from prestigious institutions, has also contributed its professional experience and pledged its support.

FIS aims at reinforcing the social entrepreneurship industry in Chile, increasing accountability in the social sector and building a bridge between the social and the private/financial sector, leaving behind a history of common distrust. The team that has designed and that is currently managing the fund believes the Chilean private sector must take the responsibility for the development of Chile.

That is why FIS’ mission is to support companies and institutions with high social impact looking for funding for scaling up toward operational sustainability. Between 2011 and 2016, the fund has invested in 7 institutions and thereby impacted directly the local base of the pyramid.

Impact thesis

Periodic measurement of social outcomes is an essential commitment for the FIS as part of its strategy to achieve social outcomes. The measurement is seen as a tool that enables trend recognition, creates goals and assesses whether the institutions are working in the right direction.
Through the Investment Committee and the Administrator, the FIS supports the management and monitors on a regular basis the social and financial outputs of the institutions financed. To accomplish this, the FIS records the initial social as well as financial situation when investing in projects. Thus, generating a baseline of key indicators that can be measured over the course of the investment. The results are reported to investors and contributors through periodic reporting of financial and social outcomes. Thus the Fund is established as a reliable source of information which conveys the corporate business market, encouraging private capital inflows to the sector and promoting projects that demonstrate their success with tangible results.
