MAAF Assurances

MAAF Assurances was founded in 1950 as a mutual insurer. It operates inside the Covéa Group alongside MMA IARD and GMF Assurances. The firm allocates to private equity at a current 4 percent weight. It also holds direct real estate assets in France and a minority stake in the UK Elite Commercial REIT. Confirmed positions include the BREEAM-certified headquarters and the Haussmann-style building at 24 Prony. Geographic exposure centers on France with additional holdings in the United Kingdom. Total assets stand at $10.1 billion. The firm maintains two foundations: Fondation Covéa and Fondation MAAF Initiatives et Handicap, the latter established in 1998. It attended MIPIM in March 2023 and sponsors Go Entrepreneurs. MAAF Assurances sits inside the Covéa mutual structure, which separates insurance underwriting from the investment vehicles run by Covéa Finance and Covéa Coopérations.
