The Mohammed VI Investment Fund (FM6I) announced on Thursday the selection of 14 asset management companies to oversee sector-specific and thematic investment funds. This move comes as part of a national strategy to enhance private sector capital, stimulate investment, and generate long-term employment.

These funds, key instruments of FM6I’s intervention, are aligned with the vision set out by HM King Mohammed VI in his October 9, 2020 speech. According to the fund’s statement, the selected firms have successfully raised nearly 14.5 billion dirhams from national and international sources. Combined with the 4.5 billion dirhams allocated by FM6I, the total capital pool reaches 19 billion dirhams—representing a leverage factor exceeding four times the fund’s direct contribution.

The chosen companies will target Morocco’s key economic sectors: three funds will focus on industry, one on agriculture and agri-food, two on tourism, one on transport and logistics, and seven are classified as generalist funds. These generalist funds are designed with varied investment ticket sizes to ensure accessibility for businesses of all scales, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The fund managers include a mix of local and international firms—nine from Morocco and five from abroad. All funds will be based in Morocco, either independently or in partnership with foreign entities. International firms will establish local teams, promoting the development of Morocco’s private equity ecosystem and strengthening its position as a financial hub in the region and across Africa.

As a signatory of the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), FM6I emphasizes environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards in both the selection and oversight of fund managers.
