Impact thesis

Mexico’s Development I – Social Impact objectives are focused on developing:
Education
Mexico has a student population of 31 million students – only 50% of the population that is in between the ages of 15 and 18 attends High School or an equivalent technical school. Similarly, only 20% of the population that is in between the ages of 18 and 25 attends a college, university or similar institution.
Financial Services
Institutional financing for micro entrepreneurs in Mexico is scarce, with only 2.5% of penetration. We estimate the value of this market is around $8.0 Bn USD with over 13 million micro entrepreneurs
Over 50% of the Mexican Population has no access to financial services and banking services have a only a 4% penetration in the lowest income segment of the population.
Sustainability
- Mexico is ranked 6th for its absolute negative environmental impact worldwide
- Markets for sustainable services and products are underpenetrated while demand for them is growing
PC Capital’s investments aim to have an impact in the community while fostering economic growth. Our fund will not invest in financial institutions providing consumer credit.
