VEF remains committed to investing in companies which provide access to financial services in emerging markets. The net proceeds from the Sustainability Bonds will be used to invest in companies dedicated to promoting financial inclusion and well-being of consumers and MSMEs, as well as improving access to renewable energy sources across emerging markets.
“In the global pursuit of sustainable development, the correlation between the attractiveness of a company’s investment case and the type of issues they solve for is becoming increasingly pronounced. Companies addressing challenges like financial inclusion and inequality or actively supporting the green transition not only contribute to the well-being of the communities they serve, but also present a compelling growth investment case.”
In large parts of the emerging world, financial services for consumers and MSMEs are either unavailable, of poor quality and/or discriminately expensive. Since inception, VEF has invested in fintech companies across emerging markets who address these issues and contribute to the economic and societal development of their respective markets.
