Mirova, the affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers dedicated to sustainable investment, raised $171m (€160m) in the first closing of a blended finance debt fund that aims to accelerate the clean-energy transition in emerging markets.

Long-standing partners such as US International Development Finance Corporation, Swedfund and Sida, as well as new investors, provided catalytic capital for the Gigaton Fund 1 fund, while Natixis Private Equity invested to further mobilise private investors.
