SIFEM - Swiss Investment Fund for Emerging Markets

SIFEM SUPPORTS BETTER ACCESS TO GOODS AND SERVICES FOR INDIA’S MOST VULNERABLE

SIFEM invests USD 15 million in the Aavishkaar India Fund VI, which is managed Aavishkaar Capital, a leading fund manager with a strong track record of investments targeting the poorest segments of India’s population.

SIFEM’s investment in the Fund is expected to contribute to long-term private sector growth in India but will also provide much needed risk capital to help businesses weather the difficult economic environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the Fund should contribute to strong job creation and to delivering better access to goods and services for India’s most vulnerable segments of society.

In addition, Aavishkaar possesses a detailed Impact Measurement Framework which outlines how impact is integrated into the investment processes and which provides a clear structure for the Fund to support portfolio companies in their own development of impact.
