Mirova groups its real assets expertise on an integrated platform and appoints Raphaël Lance as its Head
As part of the implementation of its 2030 strategic roadmap, Mirova, an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers dedicated to sustainable investing, has decided to group together its Energy Transition Infrastructure, Natural Capital and Private Equity1 businesses on a single platform dedicated to real assets. This structure will be operational from 1 January 2025 and will be headed by Raphaël Lance, current Head of Energy Transition Infrastructure Funds.
Since its launch over ten years ago, Mirova has successfully developed a consistent and diversified offering in the real assets market. The consolidation of its unlisted activities onto an integrated platform will enable the company to maintain its cutting-edge expertise, while taking a comprehensive strategic view of this asset class. This combination marks a major step forward in line with the company's ambition to become a leader in the impact private assets sector. Thanks to this new set-up, Mirova will be better positioned to meet the growing needs of its clients in an ever-changing business environment, while accelerating its development to reach critical size and address the challenges of sustainable finance.
Raphaël Lance will remain Head of Energy Transition Infrastructure Funds, and keep the chairmanship of the funds' investment committee. The Natural Capital and Private Equity businesses will remain under the direct responsibility of Anne-Laurence Roucher, who will report to Raphaël Lance.
Mirova is determined to become a leader in impact private assets, in line with our Mirova 2030 strategic roadmap. Raphaël Lance, who has over twenty years of experience in managing energy transition funds, has played a key role in Mirova's growth since its creation. I am fully confident in his vision and his ability to define a strategic roadmap that will enable us to accelerate our development in the real assets sector, strengthen our expertise and develop synergies at both management and operational levels.
It is a real honour for me to head this new platform, which will bring together almost 80 investment specialists, and I thank Philippe Zaouati for his trust. The competitive impact private assets market has great growth potential, and I am looking forward to working together with the teams on the roadmap that will enable Mirova to become a leader in this segment.
