High Impact Funds International Exchange
HIFIX is a signature component of Financing 4.0 Program which fully supports one of the key mandates of ISFO i.e. to enable mobilization and deployment of high-quality funds in international and domestic markets for accelerating sustainable development.
In line with this mandate, HIFIX delivers a revolutionary platform exclusively to the Sustainability-Certified, Financing 4.0 Compliant Financial Institutions for channeling the funds from international and domestic investors and lenders to the sustainable real economy for sustainable returns. To this end, HIFIX offers two cutting-edge solutions called COBRA and HIPPO. Both the solutions serve the purpose of improving (not harming) lives and preserving and enriching (not destroying) the natural environment.
COBRA (Customized Own Brand Products)
COBRA Products Generator enables Financing 4.0 Compliant Institutions to customize their existing financial products or develop new ones for achieving their high impact goals. The products are then listed on the HIFIX Platform for raising high-impact funds from international and domestic lenders, investors, donors and philanthropists for lending or investing in sustainable businesses and projects of all sizes and types. These include public entities and public-private projects.
Just like the cobra snakes which are known for their speedy movement and their ability to strike at the right moment, COBRA Generator speeds up the entire process from modifying existing financial products and developing new ones to launch those products at the right time for maximum gains.
Wisdom is another key characteristic of cobra. COBRA Generator enables the participating financial institutions to make wiser decisions as they configure their products to achieve their goals.
Similar to the cobra snakes, which are known for their unwavering sharp attention to target, this simple yet powerful product generator enables the participating financial institutions to stay fully focused on achieving their high impact goals throughout the process of modifying, creating and launching financial products.
Cobra snakes are also the sign of strength and fearlessness. In an increasingly crowded and highly competitive market of financial services, COBRA Generator equips the participating financial institutions to act with strength and cope with the fear, especially from unfair market competition arising from non-sustainable financial services and/ or green and social washing in the financial industry. It supports the institutions to regularly review their product portfolio, modify existing and develop new products to respond to the fast-changing market environment.
HIPPO (High Impact & Purpose-Led Public Offering)
HIPPO offers a simplified and affordable solution to raise capital from high-impact and purpose-led investors, donors and philanthropists for funding a sustainable real economy. The Sustainability-Certified, Financing 4.0 Country Hubs and Participating Financial Institutions can raise the capital for their own institutions or for their customers i.e. private and public sector companies (including SMEs) and governments.
High Impact & Purpose-Led Public Offering (HIPPO) reflects the features of the hippopotamus which is a symbol of massive size. HIPPO Platform offers massive opportunities to high growth financial institutions, businesses and projects for creating high positive impact in their communities and countries.
The hippopotamus demonstrates strength and courage which are direly needed to make a shift from prevailing short termism in the stock markets to long-term value creation for all stakeholders, which is the core purpose of High Impact & Purpose-Led Public Offering.
Hippopotamus is also a symbol of maintaining calmness and tranquility during crisis and HIPPO, which delivers innovative solution to invest and raise capital, is born in the midst of the historic coronavirus crisis to bring serenity in a high turbulent economic times.
Hippopotamus can open the mouth 180 degrees and communicate loudly. HIPPO helps the Financial 4.0 Compliant institutions in spreading loud and clear the message to investors, both at home and abroad, of high impact investment opportunities in their countries.
Last but not least, hippopotamus lives in groups (herds). HIPPO brings together like-minded financial institutions and companies to work together for innovating the way public offering works in a 21st century economy, which is characterized by disruptive technological change, environmental and social challenges and mega crisis, requiring collective response from those who are committed to create a better world.
The Global Sustainable Finance Network (GSFN) is a voluntary membership based global initiative launched in 2011 under the auspices of the World Federation of Development Financing Institutions (WFDFI)* by the European Organisation for Sustainable Development (EOSD) and the Association of Development Financing Institutions in Asia & the Pacific (ADFIAP)**.
