Investing safely and sensibly : five years of the LMDF Investment Fund

Investing safely and sensibly : five years of the LMDF Investment Fund

The LMDF (Luxembourg Microfinance and Development Fund) Investment Fund is celebrating its fifth anniversary in 2015. Its goal: to offer investors an attractive investment opportunity that simultaneously offers well-developped social benefits. That’s because five years of LMDF represents 30, 000 sucess stories in the fight against global inequality.

An incredible number of micro-entrepreneurs from Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa have been able to actively improve their lives with the aid of microcredit. Investors have also have reason to celebrate thanks to the stable return on investment achieved by the fund. A series of informative conférences and workshops is planned from 6 to 8 May to mark this milestone.
