MicroRate has brought together a team of top microfinance and capital markets analysts to develop a unique approach to analyzing MIVs.  The methodology is focused on the essential categories of analysis: Performance, Risk, Social Factors, and Management (PRSM analysis).

The major topics in each category include the following:

MicroRate’s MIV reports are based on the assessment of data and information provided by the MIV and interviews with its management team. In order to provide additional context and perspective to the reports, Luminis will offer each fund management team the opportunity for an additional interview to discuss the performance of the fund, highlights, accomplishments, outlook, etc. Excerpts of these interviews will be attached to each of the MIV reports.
