28/01/2025 News

La Banque Postale has introduced a new investment solution, LBPAM Private Opportunities, aimed at making private equity, private debt, and infrastructure investments more accessible to individual investors. Designed by LBP Asset Management (LBP AM), this fund of funds allows clients to diversify their portfolios while supporting the real economy, aligning with La Banque Postale’s mission to drive local economic development.

Accessible investment with a focus on sustainability

For as little as €100, investors can access this diversified fund, which will be available through La Banque Postale's life insurance contracts (Cachemire 2 and Cachemire 2 Série 2) starting January 29, 2025, and soon through retirement savings plans. Classified as Article 8 under the SFDR regulation, LBPAM Private Opportunities balances equities and debt with a median risk rating of 4/7. It maintains a strong ESG profile, with at least 30% of assets allocated to sustainable investments.

Supporting growth and innovation

Historically reserved for institutional investors, private markets play a critical role in financing SMEs, mid-sized businesses, and startups—key drivers of innovation and economic growth. The fund invests in three non-listed asset classes across France and Europe: corporate private debt, private equity, and infrastructure. With a focus on sectors like health, renewable energy, technology, and digitalization, it provides crucial support for businesses addressing the challenges of the energy transition and sustainability.

A commitment to local economic impact

Mimouna Boutchich, Director of Financial Savings & Insurance at La Banque Postale, highlighted the fund’s role in empowering clients to give meaning to their savings: “This accessible solution enables investments in sectors vital to economic development while supporting SMEs and local infrastructure projects.”

Through LBPAM Private Opportunities, La Banque Postale continues to advance its commitment to fostering economic growth, innovation, and employment across French territories.
