In the latest edition of *La Lettre Financière Politiquement Incorrecte*, Jacques Bossuyt highlights an initiative that clearly demonstrates that innovation in France is not limited to the tech or energy sectors. It is also making its mark in asset management. Moneta Asset Management, an independent asset management firm and active member of the Hubfinance.com community, continues to challenge the conventions of traditional finance with the launch of its new vintage fund, MME 2030.
Moneta: Independent Management with a Long-Term Focus
In a completely different field, but with an equally forward-looking vision, Moneta Asset Management has launched its new vintage fund: MME 2030. This fund invests exclusively in listed European small and medium-sized enterprises—a segment Moneta knows better than anyone, with over 22 years of experience in this field.
Unlike traditional funds, MME 2030 will close to new subscriptions at the end of June and requires a 5-year commitment. The goal? To offer stable management, free from the disruptions associated with short-term capital flows. This approach is similar to that of private equity, but with greater transparency, since the fund’s assets are listed and valued regularly.
A convergence of strategies: industrial SMEs and responsible investing
The link between the two initiatives is clear: whether in nuclear energy or asset management, it is the world of industrial SMEs that takes center stage. These companies, often overlooked by major financial players, are at the heart of the transformation of Europe’s economic fabric. And it is these companies that Moneta has chosen to support over the long term, just as the government is doing today through its reindustrialization policies.
A dual opportunity for professional investors
As major investors reallocate their portfolios toward Europe—as confirmed by the latest Bank of America survey—the timing seems ideal to reposition in European industrial stocks, whether listed or unlisted. In this context, Moneta’s strategy stands out: it offers a credible alternative to private equity, with the advantages of liquidity and transparency found in public markets, without sacrificing long-term conviction-based management.
By highlighting both the strategic return of industrial nuclear power and Moneta Asset Management’s bold proposal, this edition of La Lettre Financière Politiquement Incorrecte reminds us that the future solutions for the French economy lie as much in an industrial renaissance as in independent, impact-oriented wealth management. Two initiatives, one ambition: to build the future on foundations that are robust, resilient… and deeply European.
