Frontier Investments Group

ACCION International’s Frontier Investments Group is a double bottom line, venture equity fund focused on catalyzing a new approach to microfinance.

Frontier Investments invests in new technologies and disruptive business models that can powerfully enhance the way financial services are delivered to the poor. Building upon microfinance’s success in “banking the unbanked”, Frontier Investments looks for breakthrough innovations that will radically enhance the efficiency, reach and scope of financial services at the base of the economic pyramid. 

Frontier Investments’ vision is to bridge the gap between purely philanthropic and for-profit investing.  By drawing on best practices in both arenas, Frontier Investments works to generate balanced financial returns and high-impact social gains.  To accomplish this vision, Frontier Investments leverages ACCION International’s four decades of experience in emerging markets—including feet-on-the-ground and institutional relationships in four continents.  Frontier Investments draws on this sector- and market-specific domain expertise as well as its financial resources to catalyze the growth of its portfolio companies.
