What Fondaction Gestion d’actifs does

Fondaction Gestion d'actifs (FGA) is a Canadian private asset management firm headquartered in Montreal that specializes in impact investing across multiple alternative asset classes. The firm manages 838M CAD of capital on behalf of approximately 50 institutional investors in Canada, the United States, and Europe, and has executed roughly 70 investments in Canada and internationally. Its investment approach is anchored to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and a "theory of change" methodology applied across each platform.

FGA operates five wholly-owned fund platforms that constitute its product surface: PRIMAccès (real estate financing for affordable housing), LCC (private equity / capital-investissement providing growth capital to impact-oriented companies), Fonds économie circulaire (venture capital financing high-potential circular-economy startups), Inlandsis (natural capital and environmental markets including carbon credit transactions), and SOFIAC (energy transition infrastructure supporting energy efficiency and GHG reduction). Each platform is designed to generate competitive financial returns alongside measurable environmental and social impact.

The firm's revenue model is managed services, generating fees on assets under management across its fund platforms rather than disclosed product or subscription pricing. Its distribution is B2B institutional direct sales, with go-to-market supplemented by a broad partner ecosystem including Desjardins, Mirova, Triodos Bank, Investissement Québec, Ville de Montréal, Recyc-Québec, and others. Marketing is limited to a LinkedIn corporate presence and a blog/news section for thought leadership, consistent with a relationship-driven institutional model rather than a consumer or SMB motion.
