The AIF is a product pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation). So-called ESG criteria are non-financial considerations that are incorporated into the investment process of the fund on an ongoing basis, with a particular focus on social aspects.

The fund pursues its purpose by investing its assets in local financial service providers - so-called microfinance institutions (MFIs). The fund is based on a structured investment process, which is based both on a quantitative and qualitative selection of successful or sustainably active MFIs and on broad country diversification. The fund invests in fixed or variable-interest investment instruments. The investment instruments have short (six to eighteen months) to medium (three to five years) maturities. The fund's investments have an average term of two to three years and are primarily denominated in US dollars.
