Impact thesis
The stated goal of Vox Capital is to generate positive social impact by investing in high potential, profitable businesses serving the Brazilian bottom-of-the-pyramid population with solutions that help improve their lives. The importance of this goal and the commitment of the management team in delivering social impact are shown in the compensation scheme created for the success fee of the fund. In this scheme, portrayed in details on section, beyond the financial benchmark of inflation (measured by the IPCA index) plus 6% per year, the carry cost is split in two halves: 10% for the financial return and an additional 10% if the fund reaches a minimum level of social impact, as agreed and approved by the shareholders of Vox Impact Investing I Fund.
In order to measure and report the social impact for its portfolio companies and for the overall fund, Vox Capital is using the GIIRS (Global Impact Investing Rating System) methodology. Vox Capital is one of GIIRS pioneer funds, the first in Brazil to apply the methodology to its investment portfolio.
Vox Capital, together with the entrepreneurs of its portfolio companies, chooses IRIS impact metrics depending on the specifics of each business. There are no standardized impact metrics for every portfolio company.
