MicroCapital is a news and research initiative on international microfinance investment led by David Satterthwaite and housed in Prisma MicroFinance, a for-profit microfinance institution (MFI). Since microfinance is currently dominated by governments and charities, objective information with a business orientation is scarce and buried under academic jargon. We seek to provide honest, candid information on microfinance as an emerging investment class. We distribute this through daily web postings at www.MicroCapital.org and monthly via complimentary and subscription versions of the MicroCapital Monitor. Feedback is welcomed.
