Who is our customer
The contracting party is Emerging Markets Investment Advisers PTE.LTD, the fund management entity of ASEAN Frontier Markets Fund LP (“AFMF” or “the Fund”). The beneficiaries are the portfolio companies of AFMF, a sector-agnostic PE fund targeting investments in SMEs in Cambodia and Laos. It is the third Fund managed by Emerging Markets Investments Advisers (“EMIA”). Similar to previous funds, AFMF will invest sector agnostically, targeting mainly growth equity investments in SMEs (>65% of invested capital), with an allocation to earlier-stage companies (up to 35%) in Cambodia and Laos, and 10% allocation outside of Cambodia and Laos.
What is our funding objective?
FMO’s funding objective is to support a delegated technical assistance facility (BIF3) which will provide financial assistance for AFMF portfolio companies to engage third-party advisors and other relevant service providers in two key areas: (1) Performance Enhancement Projects, focused on revenue uplift and efficiency improvements, and (2) Projects aligned with ESG international standards, good governance practices and gender empowerment.
Why do we fund this investment?
The recipients of this Technical Assistance (TA) are SMEs in Cambodia and Laos, both classified as Least Developed Countries. Supporting the private sector in these countries aligns with FMO's commitment to SDG 8 to promote economic growth and SDG 10, aiming to reduce inequalities amongst countries. The project is funded by MASSIF because it aligns with their mission of supporting high-growth potential SMEs that face challenges obtaining traditional bank loans due to insufficient collateral or cash flow.
