Impact Investing Trends

(April-May, 2021)

Financial Access has received some investor attention in the past two months, with greater activity across sub-segments like microfinance, SME finance, fintech and others. Healthcare attracted maximum investment volume between April-May 2021, however, this could largely be attributed to the $350Mn deal in Pharmeasy between that time-period.

A significant majority (~71%) of impact transactions have taken place in early stages (Seed and Series A).
