In South-East Asian countries such as Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, more than 80% of the population in precarious situations live in rural areas. Phitrust Asia deploys the same strategy as Phitrust Partenaires, adapted to the context and needs of South-East Asia. The most dynamic sectors are sustainable agriculture and education, responsible food, access to water/energy and the circular economy. Women account for 50% of employees in portfolio companies.
Phitrust Asia favours co-investments and partnerships that contribute to strengthening a local ecosystem and providing effective support. Phitrust Asia invests as a minority shareholder in social impact companies with the potential to become champions and role models in their country and sector. We support each of the companies led by social entrepreneurs in our investment portfolio.
This support is provided by the Phitrust Asia team and the members of the Investment Committee, who have extensive experience in the region, as well as by Phitrust Asia’s local partners. We therefore bring strong added value to our companies in terms of management, contacts and development.
