One of our Business as Mission partners operates an investment fund that provides financial capital to BAM companies. For reasons arising out of sensitivities in certain regions of the world, we do not use our partner's name in public. We will refer to it simply as "the Fund."
The Fund operates openly in the financial sector. It makes investments in qualified small to medium-sized businesses in needy communities. A qualified business must meet rigorous criteria in areas such as market penetration, financial management, leadership, potential for job creation, and intentional spiritual impact. As Transformational Ventures develops investment-worthy projects, we are committed to helping build the capital available in the Fund so that it has increasing capacity to engage with these projects.
Any investor in the Fund enjoys the risk-mitigating benefit of the Fund's portfolio and its professional management. Any investment in the Fund is subject to the Fund's terms and conditions. The Fund management provides, to prospective and current investors, a comprehensive Information Memorandum and regular updates on operations and performance.
The Fund is run on a for-profit basis, with the primary objective being a phased return of capital over a period of five to seven years. Appropriate reserves are held against potential bad debts to protect investors' underlying capital. Any unused reserves accrue to investors and are distributed as determined by the Directors.
Given the challenging environments in which the Fund invests, investors should not reasonably expect any significant financial return on their capital. Instead, investors' primary motivation and expectation should be oriented towards spiritual, social, and economic impact in developing countries around the world.
