Investing Strategy | Our Team | Advisory Council | Submit a Plan | Executive Summary (PDF)
ACCION International’s Frontier Investments Group is a double bottom line, venture equity fund focused on catalyzing a new approach to microfinance and global impact investing.
Frontier's mandate is to go beyond where microfinance is today and invest in disruptive business models – technologies, products and services that will radically enhance the efficiency, reach and scope of products and services for the unbanked.
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 five decades of experience in emerging markets – including feet-on-the-ground and institutional relationships in four continents and a deep bench of operational and product specialists working in emerging market enterprises that serve the poor. 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.
