Investment approach
- Thesis
- We believe that financial systems are the key to economic growth. Good access to finance improves overall welfare, as it empowers people to better manage their needs and thrive. We also believe that technology is the engine that can power the transformation of the financial system to a fairer and more efficient one, which will then spillover growth to other sectors of the economy.Source (opens in a new tab)
