ALIVE’s guiding principles

• ALIVE places impact at centerstage, measuring impact using a data driven approach to not only count lives but more importantly to understand how lives are being impacted.
• ALIVE incorporates gender lens investing every step of the way, from origination to post-investment management.
• ALIVE has built a climate smart investment approach to help mitigate climate change and help low-income communities become more resilient to climate change.
• ALIVE seeks to grow the impact investing space in Latin America by collaborating and sharing knowledge broadly.
• And finally, but equally important, ALIVE seeks to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to its investors.
