As part of the investment strategy, FINCA Ventures seeks likeminded partners for co-investment opportunities. This approach strengthens the investment by increasing the available capital and forging partnerships for catalytic impact.

"Schneider Electric Energy Access SAS, managing impact investments for Schneider Electric, is proud to have co-invested alongside FINCA Ventures," said Christophe Poline, Sustainable Investments Director at Schneider Electric. "We are delighted to see FINCA, one of the early innovators in microfinance, leverage their deep knowledge of developing markets and ability to finance the end-user to support innovation in areas like energy. Together with their market know-how and our own experience in energy access, we can collectively provide investment in companies that goes beyond capital to create complementary synergies."

FINCA Ventures reflects FINCA International's commitment to advancing market-led innovations supporting the world's poor. By linking access to finance with access to basic services, FINCA Ventures can help increase the quality of life and productivity of FINCA's global customer base, and create opportunities to extend financial inclusion by developing new financial products and services for unbanked and under-banked families.
