M Sport Solutions SRI, a thematic equity fund with the objective of investing in international companies fully exposed to the sport and wellness sectors, is celebrating its second year. The sport and wellness economy is a major societal challenge for the coming years and is perfectly in line with the United Nations SGD 3, 12 and 11.
The sports and wellness sectors, a market estimated at 4,500 billion euros, are structurally growing at a rate almost twice that of global GDP growth. We believe that this dynamic should continue thanks to growth relays in all the segments that make up this market.
