Eiffel Investment Group and Van Lanschot Kempen Investment Management (“Van Lanschot Kempen”) are introducing Eiffel Evergreen Impactful Private Assets, a fund designed exclusively for clients of Van Lanschot Kempen Investment Management. The fund has been developed in co-creation with Van Lanschot Kempen to provide its clients with impactful private debt investments in the Benelux and across Europe. It starts with an initial commitment from Pensioenfonds PostNL and Stichting De Samenwerking, Pensioenfonds voor het Slagersbedrijf of €220 million and targets a total size of €500 million.
The umbrella evergreen Separately Managed Account (SMA) consists of two subfunds, each pursuing a distinct impact private credit strategy:
- The first compartment, Eiffel Impact Benelux Private Debt, provides private debt financing to small and mid-cap companies and energy transition assets in the Benelux region, with a strong focus on generating measurable local economic, social and environmental impacts.
- The second, Eiffel Impact Infra Debt, provides short-term secured debt financing for the construction of energy transition assets across Europe.
Both compartments are structured as open-ended Luxembourg SCA SICAV-RAIF vehicles, enabling flexible and long-term capital deployment.
Beyond its financial objectives, the program follows an ambitious sustainability and impact approach.. As an Article 9 fund, it incorporates clear and measurable impact indicators aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement:
- Eiffel Impact Benelux Private Debt steers on and reports the fund’s carbon footprint and temperature alignment (with a targeted alignment on a 2°C pathway), as well as its contribution to local economic and social impact.
- Eiffel Impact Infra Debt tracks and discloses the green energy capacity it finances, the greenhouse gas emissions it helps avoid, and the number of households powered by clean energy, seeking an alignment with a 1.5°C pathway.
This dual focus on financial performance, sustainability and impact embodies Eiffel Investment Group’s commitment to driving the energy transition and fostering sustainable growth through its investment strategies. The solution has direct positive contribution through the renewable energy capacity installed and through working with local small and mid-cap companies. From a systemic perspective, meeting the target for renewable energy locally contributes to energy independence and reduces pressure on nature caused by energy generation.
Strong demand from Dutch pension fund investors for impactful private credit assets
The first close in September 2025 at €230 million already includes two leading Dutch pension funds, highlighting the increasing demand among institutional investors for strategies that combine financial returns targets with tangible local impact – a unique opportunity to contribute to solutions close to home. The program is open to additional institutional investors.
“These two vehicles demonstrate our commitment to providing investment solutions that combine financial performance with positive environmental and social impact. Through our cooperation with Van Lanschot Kempen, we were able to bring together leading institutional investors, committed to financing the energy transition and supporting local impact” said Fabrice Dumonteil, CEO of Eiffel Investment Group.
“We are seeing increasing demand from institutional clients for strategies that deliver both expected returns and measurable impact, especially locally. Together with Eiffel Investment Group, we are offering solutions that respond to this need and contribute to the sustainable transformation of the economy.” added Wilse Graveland, Head of Fiduciary Management and Institutional Solutions at Van Lanschot Kempen Investment Management.
