Market Rates

The Market Rates is a pricing benchmark for fixed-income microfinance transactions. They are composed of senior unsecured loans to investment grade financial institutions denominated in US-Dollars or Euros with maturities of 12 to 36 months. An underlying sample of more than 153 institutions and more than 5,000 data points, collected since 2005 and updated monthly, provides a comprehensive reference for debt investments in microfinance. These, as well as several other research products, are available through the Research Account. Click on the link below to find out more.

Fund Indexes (SMX)

Symbiotics analysts compile two indexes: one to track the microfinance debt market and the other the microfinance equity market. The SMX – MIV Debt are in-house indexes which track, on a monthly basis, the NAV of a selection of funds with a majority of assets invested in fixed-income instruments in USD, EUR and CHF since 2004. The SMX – MFI Equity indexes track the daily value of a selection of listed microfinance institutions’ stock prices in US Dollars and local currency. These, as well as several other research products, are available through the Research Account. Click on the link below to find out more.

Deals (Volume)

Symbiotics has grown into the largest microfinance investments broker since inception in 2005. We have sourced over USD 1047 million through 1000 transactions in 34 emerging economies between 138 investees and 17 investors. Most of this portfolio is primary originations in illiquid debt instruments, but our team has also structured over USD 94 million of tradable bonds over the past years. More recently, we have setup an electronic bond syndication platform, offering larger secondary market possibilities.

Institution Monitoring (SYM50)

The SYM50 is a microfinance institutions’ benchmark compiling 10 key indicators from 50 MFIs, largely composed of second tier institutions, with whom Symbiotics works most frequently. This benchmark is adjusted on a quarterly basis by the Symbiotics Research & Advisory team to reflect Symbiotics’ outstanding investment volumes and geographical allocation. These, as well as several other research products, are available through the Research Account. Click on the link below to find out more.
