MyMarguerit is a unique investment solution that allows you to invest directly in French agriculture through a tangible, income-generating real asset.
A decorrelated agricultural real asset backed by over 50 years of livestock management experience and registered with the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF – D-21-01).
How it works
When you invest, you become the owner of tangible agricultural assets (dairy cattle), which are then leased to partner farmers across France.
This model enables farmers to develop their operations without bank debt, while providing you with stable, recurring income generated exclusively by real economic activity.
Returns come from the operational leasing of livestock, not from interest, leverage or financial speculation.
When income is capitalised, it is used to acquire additional livestock, increasing the size of the herd you own over time.
A transparent and fully asset-backed model, decorrelated from listed financial markets and aligned with long-term wealth preservation.
A high-performing investment
Average annual performance: 5.3%* (income¹ + asset appreciation²), with attractive tax treatment for eligible French tax residents.
Income
With an average annual net income¹ of 3.24%*, this investment offers stable and durable performance over time.
Asset appreciation
The value of the underlying “livestock” asset² also evolves over time.
It has increased by an average of +2.1%* per year over the last 10 years (+21%* between 2014 and 2024).
Capitalisation
This investment is designed for long-term capitalisation: returns can be reinvested to increase your exposure to the underlying tangible asset and enhance potential growth over time.
¹ The average annual income is calculated over the calendar period from 2013 to 2023.
² Asset appreciation over 10 years corresponds to the change in capital between the reference year 2014 and 2024, based on the unit price of one cow (excluding entry fees).
*Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Frequently asked questions
Is this investment registered with a financial authority?
Yes. The investment is registered with the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) as a “miscellaneous asset” under registration number D-21-01.
Is there a risk of losing my capital?
As with many investments, there is a risk of partial or total loss of capital.
Who manages the herds in practice?
Herd management is carried out by Gestel, the technical and operational manager of MyMarguerit. Gestel oversees the entire life cycle of the animals, from health monitoring to the natural renewal of the herd, in close cooperation with partner farmers. This set-up ensures the proper execution of the projects financed by your investment – you do not have to manage anything yourself.
What exactly does my money finance?
Your funds are used to acquire cattle which are then made available to farmers. This allows them to develop their activity or refinaWho selects the agricultural projects?nce their existing herd without going into debt.
Who selects the farming projects?
Gestel rigorously selects projects and partner farmers according to economic, sanitary and environmental criteria. Our technicians across France regularly visit the farms.
What are the fees?
A 6% subscription fee applies on the unit value (“Unit of Account”, the cow) of €1,857, i.e. €1,969 per unit. A 10% fee applies on the unit value at the time of exit. For eligible French tax residents, these fees are 100% deductible from income tax.**
* Price as of 25 March 2025.
Is this an ethical or responsible investment?
Yes. The product is built on concrete ESG criteria: animal welfare, farmers’ mental health, food traceability and rigorous governance. The approach has been developed with PwC.
When and how is income paid out?
Income is capitalised during the first 3 years. From year 4 onwards, the investor can choose to remain in capitalisation mode or opt for an annual income distribution.
Do I lose money if one farmer faces difficulties?
No. Investments are diversified across multiple farms to mutualise risk. If one farm encounters difficulties, this does not have a direct impact on the overall performance of your investment. All operational, legal and sanitary aspects are supervised by our management team.
What happens if a cow falls ill or dies?
Farmers are required to take out insurance covering the animals in case of illness or death. This ensures that investors do not suffer a loss in the number of animals they hold. In addition, the herd is naturally renewed through births.
Is this investment compatible with a long-term wealth strategy?
Yes. This investment offers stable income, gradual capital appreciation and can be integrated into diversification, succession or retirement strategies.
How is the herd renewed over time?
The herd is naturally renewed through births on the farms. This renewal cycle supports the long-term sustainability of the asset and avoids constant reinvestment in new animals.
Can I get my money back at any time?
Exit is possible at any time under the conditions set out in the contract. Liquidity is limited but organised to provide flexibility for investors.
