Membership and Seals

The I-AM Vision Microfinance, Impact Asset Management's microfinance fund, has been awarded the ECOreporter sustainability seal for the third time by ECOreporter, a German magazine for sustainable investments. Based on strict sustainability criteria specially developed by ECOreporter, only 17 funds were awarded the sustainability seal. Four of these 17 funds are microfinance funds. This confirms the fundamentally high impact that this special segment has.

Along with the FNG seal of the Forum Nachhaltige Geldanlagen e. V. and the Austrian Eco-label, the ECOreporter sustainability seal is one of the established seals for ethical-ecological investments in Germany. Only providers whose core business is sustainable and who fully meet their own sustainability promises are awarded the seal. 
The seal is valid for the fund until the end of 2027.

At the beginning of October 2025, the I-AM Vision Microfinance Funds received an extension of the internationally recognised LuxFLAG label until the end of September 2028. LuxFLAG is an independent non-profit organisation established in Luxembourg in 2006. Its aim is to provide investment funds operating in the microfinance sector with a specific label, awarded according to clearly defined and published criteria. The LuxFlag label guarantees investors that their money is actually going to microfinance. To qualify for the LuxFlag label, investment funds must be transparent, supervised by a national authority and invest at least one quarter of their microfinance portfolio in microfinance institutions that are rated by a microfinance rating agency, which in turn is recognised by LuxFLAG.

The I-AM Vision Microfinance received the PAIF Data Smart 2023 seal of approval on behalf of Tameo as a thank you and recognition for its participation in the Private Asset Impact Fund (PAIF) report.
