Track record
Triodos Investment Management has been a pioneering provider of capital to the microfinance sector since 1994. We've financed well over 100 microfinance institutions, in more than 45 countries in Asia, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe.
We hold equity stakes in 19 prominent microfinance institutions. As at 31 December 2011 the total assets under management in microfinance amounts to EUR 360 million.
Triodos Investment Management manages four microfinance funds. All funds have similar objectives but different risk profiles and funding structures, which means we can support microfinance institutions at different stages of development.
Triodos-Doen
The Triodos-Doen Foundation started in 1994 at the initiative of the DOEN Foundation and Triodos Bank. Thanks to its funding structure, Triodos-Doen is able to assume more risk and focuses on smaller, newly established MFIs in higher risk countries.
Hivos-Triodos Fund
A joint initiative of Hivos and Triodos Bank, started in 1994. Hivos-Triodos Fund is also able to assume more risk and focuses on young, innovative MFIs that are active in underdeveloped markets.
Triodos Fair Share Fund
At its launch in 2002, this was one of the first funds for retail investors in the Netherlands to invest in the microfinance sector in developing countries. This fund mainly focuses on established microfinance institutions with a proven track record.
Triodos SICAV II – Triodos Microfinance Fund
This fund was launched in March 2009, with share classes available for institutional investors, high net worth individuals and private banking clients. The main focus of this fund is on established microfinance institutions with a proven track record.
