Fund Management is a critical mecha­nism for mobilizing the substantial capital and resources needed to sup­port the broad scale of expansion of development finance. DIG seeks to leverage investments from multilateral development institutions, founda­tions, and socially-minded investors to design and manage funds that support viable development finance institu­tions at both the global and national levels. We expect that access to the appropriate blend of capital and TA will result in better quality and diversity of financial products that successfully meet the needs of the poor, feeding a virtuous cycle of growth – both for the financial institutions and the households they serve. Our investment philosophy is rooted in the belief that these financial institutions can play a vital role in their economies, and contribute to the reduction of poverty in their communities. In this vein, DIG’s Fund Management services include fund design, financial analysis and monitoring of high performance loan portfolios, and management of debt and equity investments in microfinance markets.
