In a major move to strengthen Morocco’s private sector and drive job creation, the Mohammed VI Investment Fund has selected 14 fund management firms to oversee sector-focused investment vehicles. These funds will help inject capital into strategic sectors like industry, tourism, agriculture, and logistics, while also providing much-needed support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
A Powerful Capital Boost
Collectively, the selected fund managers have secured approximately MAD 14.5 billion (USD 1.6 billion) in capital from both domestic and international investors. The Mohammed VI Investment Fund is contributing an additional MAD 4.5 billion (USD 500 million), bringing the total investment pool to MAD 19 billion (USD 2.1 billion).
- ✅ Total Raised: MAD 19B / USD 2.1B
- ✅ Private Capital: MAD 14.5B / USD 1.6B
- ✅ Public Fund Injection: MAD 4.5B / USD 500M
This total exceeds four times the Fund’s original commitment, reflecting strong investor confidence in Morocco’s economic development plans.
Targeted Sector Investment
The funds will be structured around both sector-specific and general investment themes to align with Morocco’s national priorities. The focus areas include:
- ✅ 3 funds for industrial development
- ✅ 1 fund for agriculture and agri-food
- ✅ 2 funds for tourism and hospitality
- ✅ 1 fund for transport and logistics
- ✅ 7 generalist funds designed to support SMEs with tailored financing solutions based on their growth stage and investment size
These funds are not just about capital—they’re also designed to provide strategic support to businesses, encouraging long-term growth and sustainability.
A Mix of Local and Global Expertise
Among the selected fund managers are nine Moroccan firms and five international investment companies, forming a strong blend of local market knowledge and global best practices.
All funds will be headquartered in Morocco, either independently or through partnerships with international players. This initiative is also part of a larger vision to position Morocco as a regional and continental hub for private equity fund management.
Commitment to Sustainability and ESG
The Mohammed VI Investment Fund is a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI). Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria were a core consideration in the fund manager selection process.
- ✅ UN PRI Signatory – Promotes responsible investment practices
- ✅ ESG Integration – Ensures environmental and social responsibility
- ✅ Long-term Vision – Supports sustainable, inclusive growth
By integrating ESG principles, the Fund aims to attract values-driven investors and support businesses that are not only profitable but also socially and environmentally conscious.

By mobilizing record-breaking capital and aligning investments with national goals, the Fund is setting a new standard for how public-private partnerships can stimulate innovation, employment, and long-term growth.
