IPC Invest GmbH & Co KG was founded in

1998 by a group of IPC employees who sought

to complement their strong professional
commitment to sound financial intermediation
for very small, small and medium-sized
businesses and ordinary people by becoming co-owners of the ProCredit banks,
and thus assuming the responsibilities which this entails. Today, most of the
employees of ProCredit Holding, including the members of the management
teams at almost all of the ProCredit banks, as well as roughly 950 staff members
from across the group are partners in IPC Invest. In carrying out their duties on a
day-to-day basis, they all help to ensure that their investment in ProCredit
Holding produces the desired results, in terms of both its developmental impact
and the financial return it generates.
