ABOUT US

Luminis

Luminis Advisors, LLC (“Luminis”) is an independent advisory firm that provides a range of solutions to the impact investment market based on deep industry knowledge, expert risk analysis and our comprehensive suite of benchmark data.

Luminis has been in operation since 2010, originally as a division of MicroRate, Inc. - the world’s leading microfinance rating agency. In 2014, Luminis was spun-spun off and became a stand-alone company that has worked with a wide range of stakeholders, including asset managers, investors and other service providers, and completed more than 500 evaluations of over 170 impact funds.

At Luminis we believe that all investments could be Impact Investments. From our inception, our vision is to become the pathfinder for our clients, and turn this belief into reality.

Gil Crawford

CEO, MicroVest Capital Management

“Luminis completed the independent verification of WaterEquity’s impact management system with the Operating Principles for Impact Management (OPIM). They brought efficiency and industry to this project, providing feedback beyond the OPIM verification that helped us think critically about potential improvements to our impact management.”

John Moyer

CIO, WaterEquity

“Luminis has been a key partner for MFX for nearly 12 years. We needed a customized approach to credit due diligence covering a class of impact funds - which traditionally had not been rated. Luminis developed a brand new methodology for us built on their expertise in microfinance credit analysis. Their approach has now been tested on hundreds of credit relationships and proven itself reliable. As new impact investment models have been developed by our clients in areas such as clean energy and housing, Luminis has been flexible and innovative in adjusting. Part of what attracted us to Luminis was their credibility with the DFI community. Luminis has been consistently at our side in explaining our methodology and building confidence with outside stakeholders and with our board. We greatly value our relationship with the Luminis team and highly recommend them as a credit partner.”
