DAI’s longstanding local presence and extensive networks across frontier and emerging markets provide an ideal platform for identifying promising investment opportunities, performing due diligence on these investment opportunities, and providing management support for the investee management teams once an investment is made.
In December 2021, DAI announced the acquisition of MicroVest Capital Management, adding a rich vein of expertise to DAI’s existing asset management team, connecting that combined team to a wider network of investors, and establishing a private credit platform as a base for further growth in scale and scope. In 2024, MicroVest was renamed DAI Asset Management.
DAI Asset Management (formerly MicroVest) is an investment manager that specializes in allocating private debt capital to responsible Financial Services Providers (FSPs) targeting microentrepreneurs and small businesses in emerging markets. The firm structures and manages investment vehicles with thematic, high-impact mandates to address unmet capital needs while providing emerging markets exposure to investors. Since 2003, the firm has built a track record of investing in institutions whose interests are aligned with the borrowers and communities they serve. To date, DAI Asset Management has disbursed more than $1.7 billion to over 200 microfinance and SME finance institutions in more than 60 countries.
