We are BlueOrchard...
... a leading commercial microfinance investment manager. We are made up of two companies : BlueOrchard Finance S.A. which since 2001 has provided credit to microfinance institutions (MFIs), and BlueOrchard Investments Sàrl which since 2007 has invested in the equity of MFIs and network funds.
We attribute our strong position to a number of key factors:
We are a favourite amongst banks and financial intermediaries
Our microfinance and investment expertise, continuous innovation, extensive due diligence process and the quality and profitability of our products have made us a popular choice with individuals, banks and financial intermediaries wishing to diversify their portfolios and to make sustainable and responsible investments.
Our strong relationships with microfinance institutions
We believe in creating value by providing debt and equity to microfinance institutions (MFIs) and building solid long-term relationships with them. We have a shared mission to improve the lives of the world’s poor; and by sharing information, knowledge, risk assessments, and jointly investing in the development of microfinance, we have become the commercial lender of choice amongst microfinance institutions.
The difference we make
For those with few resources, securing the funds to start-up or expand their business can be difficult. By investing in microfinance institutions, we ensure these entrepreneurs have access to the financial support they need. In addition, the solid returns of our products are helping to promote microfinance as an asset class across the commercial investment community, helping to secure more funding and thus having a greater impact on global economic development.
The passion of our people
The driving force behind all of the above is our people. Their passion for excellence, financial expertise, determination to make a difference, and commitment to building lasting relationships with our stakeholders are second to none. The returns we offer our investors, the support and advice we offer our partners, and the difference we ultimately make to those in economically deprived areas, is all down to the exceptional knowledge and dedication of our people.
