Investment Thesis

MAIF Impact places measurable social, societal and environmental impact at the center of its investment strategy, combining that impact requirement with economic sustainability. The fund targets companies that were “créées pour générer un impact social, sociétal ou environnemental positif” and supports them through minority equity or quasi‑equity investments while providing dedicated expertise (impact measurement, technical/strategic/organisational support) and access to MAIF’s ecosystem to help them scale their impact without sacrificing financial viability.

Focus statement

MAIF Impact is a generalist impact fund (open to all sectors) that prioritises five thematic areas — éducation et droits fondamentaux, adaptation des villes aux transitions, promotion de la circularité, régénération de la biodiversité and réponse à l'urgence climatique — and invests tickets "de 500 000 à 2,5 millions d'euros" in companies founded to generate strong and measurable impact, typically more than two years old with a sustainable business model and revenue.

Value Add

Impact-first mandate: explicitly states "Notre vision : l'impact avant tout" and puts impact at the heart of selection and during the lifetime of the investment.
Ticket and instrument focus: invests tickets "de 500 000 à 2,5 millions d'euros" via "prises de participations minoritaires au capital des entreprises et/ou par un apport en quasi fonds propres."
Stage/eligibility rules: targets companies "créé(e)s depuis plus de deux ans, avec un modèle économique durable et générant du chiffre d'affaires" and in levée de fonds d'au moins "un million d'euros."
Operational support and impact measurement: offers impact expertise "de l’élaboration de sa mesure jusqu’au suivi d’indicateurs" plus technical, strategic and organisational assistance and networking inside MAIF's portfolio and partners.
Backed by a large mutual insurer with integrated ESG/climate strategy: part of MAIF group, which manages ~€21–24 billion and integrates ESG analysis alongside financial analysis (pioneer signatory of PRI in 2009), and has explicit climate targets (alignment to ~1.5°C by 2030).
Strong exclusions and climate commitments: explicit exclusion list (e.g., arms manufacturers, tobacco, new oil & gas exploration, significant coal exposure) and a public objective to "sortir totalement du charbon et des énergies fossiles non conventionnelles d’ici 2030 et du pétrole d’ici 2040."
