Financial description

GMP Microfinance Fund I is addressing a sector of microfinance that is largely lacking. The fund is a blended portfolio of microfinance debt funds and microfinance equity funds, thus providing the diversification necessary to produce above-market returns with excellent liquidity for our investors. Our due diligence process is stringent; measuring not only financial but social metrics and is in a balanced category of microfinance investments all by itself.
Microfinance Fund I considers underlying Microfinance Investment Vehicles (MIV's) that have excellent track records and a dedication to helping the poor. We are looking for above market returns that use sound management criteria with our equity investments and strong interest rate returns coupled with a high level of liquidity on the debt investment side of our portfolio.
GMP targets high liquidity, above market returns and a socially sound and principled model dedicated to helping the poor around the world gain access to credit that they would not normally receive. We believe in the proverbial hand-up rather than a hand-out.

Impact thesis

Microfinance: Social Impact and Sustainable Returns
- A Microfinance Institution (MFI) is an organization that offers financial services to people who typically do not receive services from traditional banks. As most of them are poor and have no collateral -except their own labor- they are normally excluded from the regular banking system
- GMP is a Global Asset Manager bringing the microfinance needs of the poor directly to the capital markets by making microfinance investment products available to investors
- This asset class is expanding rapidly and is producing attractive returns for investors. Moreover, the demand for microfinance in the developing world is currently 10 times the supply; thus we expect to these trends to continue
