Microfinance tends to be concerned with micro-loans, which would be more akin to bonds. The topic here is equity, which is partial ownership of companies and other enterprises.
- alecco 18y ago"tends to be concerned with micro-loans" Last year there was a very convincing video on Ted about Africa needing basic financial infrastructure like a futures market. I've read other people about "Joe The Plumber" not having access to futures to protect large financial operations like purchasing real estate. Also Nasdaq, NY, etc. are completely unaffordable for small ventures (perhaps why most people on dotcoms aim at multimillion sized IPOs.) This has to change.
