Big-picture economics: Traditional private equity isn't the only way to invest in the future growth of Hispanic entrepreneurs
Article Abstract:
The scarcity of data, and the lack of historical track record of successful investing in Hispanic companies, creates a sense of risk for financiers, but despite the obstacles, institutional investors and pension funds realize the growth potential of minority economies. Investors and government agencies have developed various models of capitalization such as regular private equity funds, federal government's Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program, and Double Bottom Line (DBL) funds that evaluate financial return on investment and the socioeconomic impact.

Captains of capital: how hb500 leaders are putting muscle into company financing
Article Abstract:
The 'Hispanic Business' 500 rely heavily on commercial bank loans for funding, with only 23 of the total using venture capital, private placement or other financing. This means that Hispanic businesses paid much more for their capital than non-Hispanics; whether this funding gap results from discrimination or other causes is the subject of controversy.
