Mediterranean Fund

What is it?

March International Mediterranean Fund is a themed global equities fund that invested in listed companies directly involved in the ocean economy.

This fund invests in two trends with great potential related to any of the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030:

• Oceans as a source of wealth and the need to preserve their health, sustainably using their resources when extracting their economic potential.
• Water as a scarce, indispensable resource for life on our planet and a basic right.

Why invest?

The ocean, the planet's 7th economy, is a major source of resources with high growth potential and offers value within a high number of sectors, from food and tourism to transport and coasts. Furthermore, the increase in the world's population in the coming years will only see demand for water grow.

This fund has a special strategy that seeks to participate in the growth of companies and topics related to oceans and water, as part of activities that respect the environment and that are sensitive to the responsible and sustainable use of this resource that is vital to our plant.

What does the fund invest in?

The portfolio is made up of approximately 40 to 60 global, listed companies, which form part of the investment universe of companies related to the ocean economy and water.
