"It was an honor to be AIC Caribbean Fund's first investee company in the Dominican Republic. As investors, they understand the pragmatic realities of the infrastructure construction business through different business cycles and were very responsive to the needs of Moya. We look forward to partnering again with ACF in the near future."
