fundcraft France, a digital-native fund operations platform for alternative investment funds, has received authorisation from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) as a portfolio management company, in its capacity as alternative investment fund manager (AIFM).
With this authorisation effective, fundcraft France can provide regulated collective portfolio management services to French investment managers.
The firm says it marks a milestone in its European expansion after the opening of the firm’s Paris office earlier this year.
fundcraft can now serve fund managers launching French investment vehicles through fundcraft’s digital operating model, which combines regulated service infrastructure, proprietary digital infrastructure, and an ecosystem of partners.
Fundcraft’s entry into France builds on its Luxembourg foundation, where the company is licensed by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier as both a central administrator and alternative investment fund manager.
Thomas Ibanez, country head, France, fundcraft, notes: “Receiving AMF authorisation is an important step for fundcraft in France. Since we announced our expansion earlier this year, we have seen strong interest from asset managers, platforms and institutional players looking for a more scalable way to operate private markets strategies.
Julien De Mayer, co-founder and CEO, fundcraft, comments: “With our AMF authorisation now effective, we can begin supporting French managers and platforms with the same integrated approach that has underpinned our successful growth in Luxembourg.”
Olga Porro, co-founder and chief product officer, fundcraft, adds: “France brings exactly the type of operational complexity our platform was designed to support: open-ended fund structures, high-volume investor and distributor flows, integrations with third-party portals and clearing infrastructure, automated transfer agency, and specific reporting and accounting requirements.”
