About

We are dedicated and experienced investors in fintech and emerging markets. Our purpose is to create long term sustainable value for our shareholders by investing in the future of finance across emerging markets from Brazil to India. From investment to exit, we take a long-term perspective to support entrepreneurs and their teams on their journey.

Investment approach

Thesis
Investing in emerging markets involves taking on macroeconomic risk while seizing the opportunities presented by rapidly growing populations, increasing economic growth, and unmet customer needs. The fundamental shift towards digitalization across all industries and sectors in the world also unlocks substantial growth opportunities for financial services. The end game is a digital financial world, with fintech playing a key role in the growth of emerging markets. We invest in companies that have the ability to navigate market uncertainty and volatility, ultimately emerging in a stronger position to scale and thrive in these markets.Source (opens in a new tab)
