C5's Microfinance Investment Summits have brought together hundreds of leading industry stakeholders from over 40 countries around the globe...

Having proved more resilient than comparable asset classes during the devastating global recession, microfinance is today a more attractive risk reward proposition than ever before to institutional investors, commercial banks and asset managers looking for stable yet high yield investments.MFIs continue their quest for more accessible and affordable financing, but at the same time, speculation abounds as to decreasing levels of demand from their clients. It is therefore vital that investors and microfinance institutions understand one another’s requirements and expectations, in order to make informed commitments in meeting both social and financial goals whilst achieving sustainable industry growth.

C5’s 3rd Microfinance Investment Summit follows the resounding success of its London summit, held in October 2009. C5's Microfinance summits are global hubs for the ‘Who’s Who’ of microfinance to meet, network, and participate in industry shaping discussions which will have a major influence on the sector in months to come.

In Geneva, you will have the opportunity to hear about and discuss pressing industry concerns and developments with our distinguished speaker faculty of 40+ industry leading lights. Shake hands, exchange ideas and create partnerships with market leading investors, DFIs, funds, banks and MFIs.

If you have attended a C5 Microfinance Investment Summit in the past, you will already be aware of the expediential information sharing and relationship building opportunities that C5’s events offer.
