Investre has announced the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) has authorised it as a Registrar Agent, under Article 25 of the Law of 5 April 1993 on the financial sector.
The license allows Investre to act as UCI administrator for the registrar function and the client communication function of UCI administration.
The firm explains the licence allows the firm to act as Digital Transfer Agent for registered shares and as Control Agent and registrar function for dematerialised shares.
Investre is now able to maintain the shareholder register of funds issuing registered shares under the 1915 Companies Law, including keeping that register natively on blockchain, which makes the onchain entry the register itself.
Additionally, Investre says it holds the first Control Agent authorisation granted by the CSSF — under the Law of 6 April 2013, as amended by the Blockchain Laws — which allows funds to issue dematerialised shares natively on a blockchain with the onchain book entry recognised by law as the investor’s legal title.
The firm says the addition to the tokenisation suite covers hybrid and transitional structure, with the result being a complete, regulated toolkit for fund tokenisation.
Sacha Marcolini, head of legal and compliance at Investre, says: “Tokenisation is not one model. Some funds want to keep registered shares and hold the register natively on a blockchain. Others want to issue dematerialised shares onchain.
“With this licence, the regulatory picture is complete: we act as Digital Transfer Agent for the first model and as Control Agent for the second, with payments and investor communication covered in both. Whatever route a fund chooses, every function may sit within one CSSF-supervised entity.”
Georges Bock, CEO and founder of Investre, adds: “This additional licence opens the door to offering the full range of services a modern fund centre needs. Our aim is to give asset managers the most modern infrastructure rails to access new distribution channels.”
Bock continues: “The suite is now complete: from issuance to order routing, clearing and settlement, through to institutional-grade safekeeping, including self-custody, and connection to distribution channels.”
