responsAbility Investments AG The idea behind responsAbility is simple? An increasing number of social investors (private investors, foundations and institutional investors) are seeking investment opportunities which provide a combination of financial and social returns. These investors are driven by a sense of responsibility for social and development issues, but often have difficulty finding their way around the huge range of alternatives on offer. At the same time, there are a growing number of successful microfinance institutions, funds and financial vehicles with a proven track record that have the ability to fulfil these investors? needs for social and financial returns. However, they often find it difficult to attract sufficient private and institutional capital. The main reasons for this gap are the size of the company, lack of marketing experience and the small investment capacity. ...bridging the gap responsAbility bridges the gap by selecting existing vehicles and organisations with a proven track record and offering appropriately structured investment opportunities, mainly via established experts.
