The 2017 Symbiotics MIV survey is an annual survey which aims to provide comprehensive market trends and peer group analysis on microfinance off-shore investments. The survey, in its 11th edition, is based on December 2016 financial and social performance indicators reported by a large number of microfinance investment vehicles (MIVs).

Since 2015, it has included Microfinance Investment Funds that are not open to multiple investors. Participating MIVs report their data based on the CGAP MIV Disclosure Guidelines (2010) and the Microfinance Investment Vehicles Disclosure Guidelines: Additional Indicators (2015) developed by Symbiotics in collaboration with other microfinance asset managers.
