[Microinsurancefocus] LeapFrog's news

[Phyl Georgiou]

Hi all,

 

I thought you may be interested to read LeapFrog Investment's September
newsletter - see http://www.leapfroginvest.com/news_letter.html 

 

Who is LeapFrog:

LeapFrog is the world's first investment fund focused on microinsurance
(www.leapfroginvest.com <http://www.leapfroginvest.com/> ).  The fund
invests in businesses that provide insurance and financial services to
low-income and financially excluded people in Africa and Asia. Launched by
President Bill Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative of 2008, LeapFrog
has raised $44 million to date from private and public sector investors.
Current target markets include India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Philippines,
South Africa, Ghana, and Kenya. Through its portfolio companies, LeapFrog
aims to reach 25 million beneficiaries, 15 million of whom are women and
children.

LeapFrog's profit-with-purpose investment approach both taps an estimated 1
billion person market for microinsurance and fulfils an essential need for
protecting the poor against life's uncertainties and tragedies. The fund has
been hailed by the Financial Times, Private Equity International, and many
global leaders as a new frontier for microfinance and alternative
investment.
