Cross-cutting Issues
Projects for the Future
In the years ahead, FMCN, together with its partners, will continue to promote key initiatives to protect Mexico’s natural wealth. In 2024, FMCN designed and planned four projects, laying the groundwork for their future implementation.
Finances
The year 2024 was marked by significant economic and political challenges. Inflation showed a downward trend, although it had not yet reached the targets set by central banks. Volatility in economic variables, especially exchange rates and interest rates, increased due to uncertainty caused by a complex global landscape and ongoing geopolitical tensions. Despite expectations of lower interest rates and better controlled inflation, markets maintained high values and delivered positive returns.
FMCN’s long-term investment strategy, diversified across various sectors, continued to yield positive results. Additionally, maintaining high ratings in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors remains essential for FMCN’s investment instruments, as measured by the MSCI ESG Rating standards, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and responsible investing.

“It’s a pleasure to work at FMCN. It’s been 20 years of contributing ideas and projects of collaboration with so many people with such a positive mindset. That makes it easy, fun, and exciting. It’s contagious—you find yourself on the same level, and before you know it, you are the Fund: committed, engaged, and working with everyone toward a common goal: to protect the environment we live in. I’m in the best place to work. Thank you, FMCN!”
“Reflecting on the past five years, I can only express my deepest gratitude to Mexican Fund. I feel incredibly fortunate to work in a place where each of us, from our own area, contributes knowledge and energy to achieve our mission: sustaining our natural treasure. I hope to continue contributing to this noble cause for many years to come.”
