Responsible investment is defined by EUROSIF as "any type of investment process that combines investors’ financial objectives with their concerns about Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues."

The source adds further comments about the microfinance funds: "MIVs raise funds from public, institutional and private investors to support microfinance institutions worldwide. MIVs can take the form of collective investment schemes (e.g. mutual funds) or other dedicated investment vehicles. MIVs loan money to MFIs or alternatively purchase their debt or equity instruments. Although this definition includes all types of vehicles, this study solely includes investment funds".
