Thematic funds and impact investing: the winning combination of our equity management
Mirova offers sustainable equity management applying both active investing and fundamental-based management focused on innovation and models able to provide business solutions for the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our investment strategy goes largely beyond the simple integration of ESG criteria, since we have chosen to put environmental and social impact at the heart of the definition of our investment universes. We have developed a range of impact-based thematic equity strategies, in line with our ambition to pursue both financial performance and sustainable growth. Each of these strategies targets a specific issue addressing it through the choice of investments, and also through the implementation and monitoring of impact indicators.
Our range of thematic equity strategies:
Investing in long term transitions
Today’s world is changing, led by long term transitions: demographic, technological, environmental and related to corporate governance. They will take place regardless of cyclicality within the global economy: sea levels will continue to rise, natural sources of fresh water will continue to become scarcer, people will continue to live longer, and innovations in technology will continue to change the way the world interacts and conducts business.
We believe the companies that are transitioning their business model towards sustainability will have a place in the future economy.

Financing environmental transition
Environmental transition is a key issue for our economic model, but it is also the source of many innovations. Our equity strategy Environmental Transition proposes to invest in innovative companies, in the so-called “green industries”: sustainable waste and water management, sustainable agriculture, green building, industrial energy efficiency, renewable energy, clean transportation. [This strategy is applied to two geographical zones: Europe and the World]

Diversification close to the benchmarks, but for carbon
We created a Climate Ambition investment strategy for investors who are particularly concerned about the climate issue and convinced that low-carbon investments will be a source of outperformance over the medium term, but who also want a strong sectoral diversification of their portfolio. Close to the benchmarks in terms of sectoral allocation, this strategy offers a very broad diversification across the economic sectors. Further, it allows to be consistent with a global warming trajectory of 2°C by investing in climate assets. This strategy seeks to outperform the market in terms of returns and impact, and to control risks as well.

Gender equality: a question of justice as well as of performance
The empowerment of women and achieving equality in the workplace are among the issues identified by the UN (SDG 5). To support the promotion of women in companies, and as we are convinced that gender diversity is a factor of performance for the company, in 2019, Mirova launched a global thematic equity strategy to invest in high-performance companies committed to gender equality, notably improving women’s access to decision-making bodies and equality in the workplace.

Private equity partnership with fund structures: Owner-operator, transactional and alternative finance strategies to reach development goals
The group has multiple tools to create solutions for infrastructure development. In addition to working with infrastructure banks and quasi-governmental organizations, GENN has the tools to enable its partners to create fund structures to raise capital for single-purpose or multi-purpose strategies. The fund structure enables institutions, endowments, and other large organizations to invest in projects and seek liquidity via pre-arranged exit structures. These strategies work well with tax refunds, long-term income agreements, and infrastructure with revenue growth opportunities.
The key to infrastructure development is to create alliances with other committed organizations to similar projects. With comity and mutual benefit, large capitalization requirements can be achieved. Both governments and quasi-governments are welcoming and supporting new tools to finance infrastructure. Broadened interest has made it timely to pursue alternative finance strategies. Our goal is to work with the most progressive and ambitious companies in the world. By providing finance expertise, we believe we can expedite these partnerships.
