FRR 2016 ANNUAL REPORT26

Smart beta management accounted for around 57% of the EUR 5.5 billion managed passively in developed markets at the end of 2016. Nearly all of these investments applied a decarbonisation method in 2016.

Pursuit of two main strategies

Ongoing investment in the french economy

The FRR continued its programme of investing in unlisted funds that specialise in issuing loans in support of the French economy.

This saw the FRR invest more than EUR 200 mil- lion in 2016, especially in loans to the French economy. A number of tenders issued in 2016 will also lead to investment commitments from 2017: private debt funds (EUR 600 million) and private equity funds (EUR 900 million) will be used to disburse most of the EUR 2 billion budget for investing in unlisted French assets (private equity, business loans, real estate and infrastructure).

The new programmes to which the FRR commit- ted led to large calls for funds: EUR 14 million in real estate; EUR 168 million in loans to the economy; EUR 22 million in NOVI funds (mixed corporate bond and equity funds).
