Idea
91% of French people are worried about climate change. But most of us are unaware that the average French person's savings generate 11T of CO2 per year: the equivalent of +10 flights from Paris to New York.
While only 0.2% of funds are aligned with the Paris Agreement, 76% of people believe in the impact of investments. With a savings rate close to 20% in France alone, the market is large.
This is why we founded Goodvest: a savings solution committed to the environment. We go beyond labels, exclude harmful sectors & analyse the carbon footprint of every company. We estimate that our portfolios are in line with a climate trajectory close to 2°C, in line with the Paris Agreement.
Our digital solution provides personalised & transparent savings, allowing clients to choose responsible themes they want to invest in. Our fees are very competitive in the French market: max 1.9% of assets under management. By receiving 0 retrocession from asset managers, we aim to provide an unbiased fund selection.
Backed by top investors, incl. Super Capital VC and the founders of Ornikar, Tiller and Made.com, we launched our product with +€9m invested by +1k investors in less than a year. We've been awarded Impact Fintech of the year (2021) - from Finance Innovation & “TOP OR 2022” - Best SRI life insurance contract.
