At the end of June 2021, Solidaire employee savings amounted to €13.7 billion according to the AFG and Natixis Interépargne, for its part, retained €3.7 billion in Solidaire employee savings at the same date. Over the past year, some solidarity mutual funds have passed symbolic milestones. The Impact ISR Rendement Solidaire fund exceeded €1 billion in assets under management and the Impact Actions Emploi Solidaire fund exceeded €100 million, while the latter’s master fund called Insertion Emploi Dynamiquemanaged by Mirova has exceeded €1 billion in assets. Solidarity finance outstandings are very dynamic and have doubled at Natixis Interépargne in 5 years, rising from €2 billion at the end of 2016 to nearly €4.3 billion at the end of 2021. Natixis Interépargne’s savings inflows and Mirova’s portfolio management expertise combine to provide financing for sustainable and solidarity-basedprojects. Projects such as these are developed by investing in companies that strictly observe ESG criteria, or by allocating resources to entities in the social and solidarity-based economy.

Mirova’s Insertion Emplois Dynamique fund, which was launched in 1994, was one of the first solidarity-based“90/10” funds dedicated to job creation in France. The solidarity allocation (10% of assets) finances structures with a positive social impact across the country in conjunctionwith France Active, while the equity allocation (90% of assets) has invested since 2014 in listed companies planning to create jobs in France over 3 years, based on analysis performed by Mirova. This fund was awarded the “Relance” label launched in October 2020 by the French Treasury: this label aims to direct French savings towards investment vehicles that support the economic recovery plan unveiled by the French Government following the COVID-19 crisis. In December 2021, the fund reached €1 billion in assets under management. Individual customersaccount for more than half of the fund’s net inflows. Mirova manages €1.4 billion of solidarity assets under management (2) .

Any fund that mentions a management policy under the label in question in its legal documentation is considered to be "labeled". (1) Solidarity Funds (Mirova Solidaire) and solidarity-based 90/10 funds. (2)
