Amundi launches an investment solution in European private markets
14 NOV, 2024
By Jose Luis Palmer from RankiaPro Europe
Amundi has announced the launch of Amundi Private Markets ELTIF (AMUNDI PRIMA), an evergreen solution that allows savers to access investment opportunities in the European private markets, while promoting transitions.
The interest in private market investment products continues to grow in all markets. Institutional investors, who are looking for attractive returns and moderate long-term volatility, continue to increase their allocations in these asset classes. Individual investors are also looking to access the opportunities offered by private markets to diversify their long-term investment strategies. This dynamic is being supported by regulators, for example with the application of the ELTIF 2.0 regulation that lowers the minimum investment threshold, adapts liquidity options and expands the range of eligible asset classes.
An evergreen solution to drive transformative growth in Europe
AMUNDI PRIMA offers diversified investment opportunities through a flexible allocation to private equity, private debt and infrastructure. These investments present inherent risks, especially in terms of capital loss, liquidity and valuation.
The new fund is classified as Article 8 under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and allows retail and professional investors to contribute to the real European economy, supporting important transitions such as:
- Ecological and digital: infrastructure for the production of renewable energies, networks and energy storage systems or electric mobility...
- Social and digital: cybersecurity, biotechnologies in health...
- Regional and digital: urban projects, smart cities, infrastructure for connecting rural and urban areas...
AMUNDI PRIMA mobilizes all channels to access private markets and makes investments in primary funds, secondary and co-investments and secondary investments. AMUNDI PRIMA offers investors the possibility of monthly subscriptions with a minimum investment threshold of 1,000 euros and conditional quarterly redemption windows. The fund is already available to investors in Luxembourg, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
AMUNDI PRIMA responds to the growing need of savers to diversify their long-term investments. It represents an evergreen, turnkey solution that facilitates access to private markets and immediate exposure to them. With the reinforcement of its multi-management platform Amundi Alpha Associates, Amundi aims to continue its strategic development in private markets and offer all its clients increasingly innovative solutions adapted to their objectives.
