Catalyst Microfinance Investors (CMI) is a private equity fund that invests in and intends to build a diversified portfolio of emerging, high-potential microfinance institutions (MFIs), selected and managed by a team of globally renowned microfinance practitioners (ASA in Bangladesh) and corporate finance specialists (Sequoia in The Netherlands).

The fund seeks to provide its investors market conform investment returns, through its investment in emerging and fast-growing high-potential MFIs in Asia and Africa.

The fund invests in MFIs by means of equity or equity-linked financial instruments. The fund generally seeks to obtain at minimum a substantial minority equity interest in the MFIs it invests in. The fund is a closed-end fund with a term of ten years. It focuses on realising capital gains upon the sale or listing of each individual investment or portfolio of investments, which subsequently will be distributed to the investors.

CMI seeks to be instrumental in making microfinance a mainstream asset class, open to those interested in investing in emerging markets.







CMI also has offices in Asia and a registered office in Mauritius:
