Inspired by the „International Year of Microcredit“, dedicated by the U.N. in 2005, we began to turn our attention towards microfinance. With our research our passion for microfinance grew and it soon became clear: this is where we wanted to become active.

Detailed studies and inspirational on-site visits of micro entrepreneurs and microfinance institutions soon followed. We also took part in microfinance conferences and trainings which enabled us to build up important contacts and partnerships with microfinance experts. We succeeded to win over - amongst others - the Armenian Dr. Vardanyan, longtime asset manager and author of numerous research works on developing countries and emerging markets in addition to the Swiss company Symbiotics SA as our investment adviser.
