Gide advises on the setting up of Prêtons Ensemble, first major crowdlending fund in France, by Aviva France and Eiffel Investment Group.

Insurer Aviva France and asset management company Eiffel Investment Group have just announced the launch of Prêtons Ensemble, a fund that aims to finance the real economy. This new fund, financed by Aviva France to an amount of 50 million euros, aims to lend funds via the best online lending platforms in Europe, and France in particular.

Prêtons Ensemble strives to bring together several investors and already counts on the support of Aviva France and AG2R La Mondiale for its launch, respectively with 50 million and 20 million euros. The fund has an eight-year objective of lending 100 million euros to VSEs and SMEs in particular.

Gide advised Eiffel Investment Group on setting up this fund, with a team comprising Gide managing partner Stéphane Puel, counsel Guillaume Goffin, and associate Clothilde Beau.
