AWith an initial fundraising of 300 million dirhams (MDH), Red Med Private Equity (RMPE) announced on Wednesday the launch of Colombus 1, its first investment capital fund OPCC (Organism for Collective Investment in Capital), primarily targeting Moroccan SMEs and companies.
The Fund, with a maximum size of 1.1 billion dirhams, aims primarily to support national SMEs, characterized by chronic under-capitalization greatly aggravated during the Covid crisis, through investment tickets located mainly between 30 and 90 MDH, specifies RMPE. Colombus 1’s strategy focuses on companies active in particular in sectors driven by local consumption, by intervening with SMEs and companies with solid economic models in value-creating development or transmission projects.
« It is therefore natural to find in the round table of the initial closing of Colombus 1 institutional and private national players of the first order, in particular the Moroccan Pension Fund (CMR), Al Barid Bank, Best Financière, CAT Assurance & Réassurance and the CNSS (via a dedicated fund), who all share the desire to support SMEs and national companies in their local and regional development, to promote Made in Morocco and to participate in the creation and sustainability of jobs in our country “, wishes to underline the same source.
