The FFG funds
The Funds For Good funds, grouped in the FFG sicav, are available through our financial intermediate (bank, insurance broker, financial consultant). Each product is managed by a separate manager, selected based on his management qualities for the specific category. Each manager has accepted to integrate the Funds For Good sustainability policy into the mandate assigned to him. In addition to the financial performance you are entitled to, investing in Funds For Good products also makes it possible to achieve a very tangible social impact, which you can follow in the “impact” section.
