Frequently asked questions
Which sectors does SIMA explicitly avoid?
SIMA's mandate restricts investment to enterprises that serve bottom-of-the-pyramid consumers or build supply chains reaching low-income populations. The firm avoids fossil-fuel generation, extractive industries, and enterprises whose primary customer base is middle-income or affluent. Within financial inclusion, SIMA stays away from consumer-lending models that charge above-market interest rates.
How is SIMA Funds related to the SIMA Angaza Distributor Finance Company?
SIMA Angaza operates as a parallel vehicle under the same management company, created specifically to extend working-capital and inventory-financing loans to last-mile distributors of solar products and clean cookstoves. It launched with $25 million in equity commitments from development finance institutions and foundations. Unlike the commercial debt fund, SIMA Angaza targets smaller loan sizes and includes a grant-funded technical-assistance component for borrower capacity building.
