There is a critical need to devise a new type of inclusive financial system, one that is willing to take on the risks and patience required to build sustainable local models run by local entrepreneurs to solve complex social issues and scale impact delivery models. The Fund will typically desire that the investee has/aspires for the following attributes. Prioritize underserved segments (either as owners, partners or customers) and seek to serve/ include even more disadvantaged and exclude segments. They keep the economic and social value to the end user at the core of the investment. They balance shared prosperity across all stakeholders and not just shareholders. Treat all stakeholders with dignity and empower the disadvantaged segments in their relationship with the enterprise over time. Prioritize social and devise financial returns that takes into consideration gaps in the enabling conditions and such that deep social impact is not compromised. The Fund shall seek responsible exits that perpetuate social impact. IPO or management buyout through private equity investment are very unlikely.
