A little over a year ago, the Minister of the Economy Bruno the Mayor launched a new label entitled “Relief”, intended to be affixed to investment funds. Its objective: to encourage households who have accumulated savings during the health crisis to place it at the service of French companies, including small and medium. Ten funds were then labeled.
Since then, the Treasury has buffered tirelessly: 205 investment fund, from just over 110 management companies, now wearing the label (numbers on November 2). A little more than half are accessible to non-professional investors, through life insurance, a securities account, an equity savings plan (PEA), a PEA-SME, a salary savings device or a plan retirement savings.

You should know that the Label Chart most often imposes a minimum of 30% equity investment in French companies, including 10% in TPE, SMEs or national ETIs (or 60% and 20% respectively in some cases).
In practice, if on average the funds labeled, for the moment, largely these commitments, the percentages invested in France and in the French SMEs / SMEs / ETIs strongly vary from one product to another, some from up to To devote the entire of their asset to the French companies of modest sizes, others to be much more diversified, by also intervening, and sometimes mostly, outside the hexagon and in large companies.
