Our Cause

IMPACT INVESTING

Profitable investments that generate substantial net benefits to society and the environment.

Since 2008, AlphaMundi has redefined business leadership by turning sustainability and inclusion into competitive advantages for SMEs in Africa and Latin America, leading to scale and market transformation.

• SMEs account for more than 50% of formal jobs, 70% of new jobs, and 40% of GDP in most emerging markets. They promote innovation, deliver essential goods and services, and catalyze the integration of women and youth into the economic mainstream, all key SDG drivers.

• Emerging Markets SMEs face an annual credit shortfall of over USD 1 trillion. By helping address and resolve this funding gap, AlphaMundi contributes to more competitive and inclusive economies, with a transformative impact on low-income beneficiaries.

AlphaMundi also enhances sustainable development through the The AlphaMundi Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization in Washington DC, by providing technical assistance for small enterprises and promoting the Gender Lens agenda across AlphaMundi’s portfolio and pipeline companies.
