Managing Partners’ rePort Welcome to the Bamboo Capital Partners impact report for 2016. it has been a year of change, both for Bamboo and for the impact investment sector, and this report details some of the most exciting developments. trends over the past 12 months clearly confirm the fact that impact investment is progressively becoming mainstream. on the ground – and perhaps this is the most important change – if we can judge by the number of companies spontaneously seeking our investment support, there is an acceleration in the number of social entrepreneurs and companies being set up to intentionally solve critical problems facing our planet and society. this is very encouraging and contributes to quickly expand our “investable universe”. there has also been a clear acceleration of new initiatives at the intermediary level, with more funds, new asset managers and more impact and wealth advisors setting up shop. some large and wellknown financial houses are also starting to move into the impact field. all this is bringing further dynamism. at the investor level, we

FINANCIAL INCLUSION

Bernhard Elkenberg Fund manager

These factors make for an increasingly positive environment for householdlevel, distributed power solutions and technology

Financial inclusion has been central to Bamboo’s approach since we began, and as the model for financial inclusion has changed, so has our approach. now we are investing in ground-breaking, peer-to-peer platforms such as Kubo Financiero in Mexico and correspondent banking models like Movilred in Colombia.

We are confident that they will boost financial inclusion efforts in those markets against the backdrop of major change in the sector. at the same time, these investments prove our commitment to social impact in everything that we do. Bernhard eikenberg writes: in the last couple of years there has been a trend from microfinance 1.0 – mono-product, unregulated institutions, often not for profit, focused on one-dimensional outreach objectives – towards a more inclusive model, providing a full suite of financial products, and including hitherto equally unattended sectors, and based frequently around regulated institutions. the traditional model was focused on the provision of micro-credit, generally to urban microentrepreneurs. it has been very successful and is now a feature of most large emerging markets globally. however, inefficiencies in the delivery model remain widespread and, notably, the model failed to address the evolving financial needs of many developing economies, especially beyond the conventional microenterprise loans.

By contrast, the new financial inclusion model (version 2.0) is centred on regulated institutions, or institutions with a more clientcentric approach, offering more services to a wider range of customers and often involving the use of technology. so as well as micro loans to urban borrowers, we are seeing the proliferation of deposit accounts and financia. another trend is that, as competition intensifies and new type of financial actors emerge, these institutions are under pressure to become more efficient, prove their business models and operate more sustainably as the area of soft money supporting the microfinance sector is coming to an end. the classic microcredit of <$500$1,000 is just not economic anymore for many lenders in many places. that push for efficiency and profitability is another driver behind the trend towards larger loans, often resulting in an upscaling effect of the portfolio’s median loan size, and encouraging lending to larger micro enterprises and smaller sMes. But perhaps most importantly, it is the influence of technology

and connectivity that is rapidly changing the landscape for financial inclusion. at Bamboo we see potential in a wide range of fintech innovations, from big data, mobile wallets and blockchain to cloud computing and multi-channel delivery – see box on Movilred. all of these have the potential to revolutionise financial services in developing markets as much, if not more than in developed economies, and Bamboo is at the forefront of developments.

In 2015, over 150 nations adopted 17 goals to transform the world. This is no simple achievement. X years of thorough negotiations, developing a unique broad consensus on the state of our world and our capacity to deliver change. Moreover the SDGs define the road to get there through specific targets for each goal. And, the build on the success of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG).

Success? Yes, the MDGs were largely met. Remember Halve poverty by 2015? Do you know that we collectively achieved this? If we managed to halve poverty by 2015, we can end it by 2030.

For example, many of BFiF i’s portfolio companies have allowed their customers to receive loan disbursements, or make regular loan instalment payments in “mom and pop” stores in their neighbourhoods or in alliance with many other retail outlets, and no longer require them to visit one of their branches for withdrawal or payments. in the same vein, most of our companies already have a mobile and online payment platform in place or are working hard on implementing one. in terms of social impact, Bamboo’s involvement with financial inclusion operates at many levels. the move towards greater transparency in financial services

But perhaps most importantly, it is the influence of technology and connectivity that is rapidly changing the landscape for financial inclusion. at Bamboo we see potential in a wide range of fintech innovations, from big data, mobile wallets and blockchain to cloud computing and multi-channel delivery – see box on Movilred. all of these have the potential to revolutionise financial services in developing markets as much, if not more than in developed economies, and Bamboo is at the forefront of developments.

For example, our investee company Compara online, a south american insurance comparison platform, allows low-income customers to get a much better idea of what is on offer in their insurance market by being the biggest price comparison site in their local markets. this significantly contributes to greater transparency in what used to be an opaque market for consumers, especially low income consumers. and that also creates pricing tension and a better deal for the end customer.

Financial inclusion 2.0 also means debunking the credo of high operating costs being a must in microfinance. the smart use of data and technology can significantly lower operating costs for financial intermediation, and therefore offer much more attractive rates both for borrowers and depositors. our investee company Kubo Financiero is an online lender based in Mexico. as the first regulated peer-to-peer lender in Latin america, Kubo’s lack of bricks-and-mortar infrastructure means that it can charge borrowers annual rates oscillating between 30%-60% rather than the 70-120% typically charged to micro entrepreneurs – a huge saving. in the same way, Kubo offers a significant premium to local depositors in the interest rates it pays on deposits, often into two digits. the reduction in the cost of payments and transfers driven by fintech also benefits some of the poorest customers when they make small, regular international or national remittance payments.

At Bamboo Capital Partners we have examined these goals carefully as well as each goal’s measurable targets. Our commitment for the last 10 years has been to channel private funds to society’s intractable challenges. We can comfortably claim that we invest in ways and with the purpose to contribute to the following three SDGs, perhaps to even more SDGs, but we prefer to understate and over deliver, than the contrary.
