Multinational investor services group IQ-EQ has rebranded its French subsidiary fund management and fiduciary business Equitis as IQ-EQ.
The rebrand follows similar action with two French businesses IQ-EQ acquired in 2022, completing the firm’s integration plan in France.
IQ-EQ maintains a team of 100 workers in its Paris office, with its French fund and asset management (including AIFM), debt and capital markets, corporate services and wealth management services now consolidated under a single name.
The group also maintains a third-party AIFM platform as part of its offering in France.
Bertrand d’Anselme, CEO of IQ-EQ France, says: “This is a milestone day for IQ-EQ France. This rebrand represents the logical next step in the consolidation and ongoing growth of our French operations, as well as a key step in the Group’s overarching growth journey.
“The strength of our business model, diversified but integrated, allows us not only to go to market as a single united team with added strength and depth of expertise, but also to significantly enhance our internal operational efficiency, further mobilising our resources and capabilities.”
Diana Senanayake, regional CEO of IQ-EQ in Continental Europe, adds: “France is one of the most dynamic markets in alternative investments. As such, it’s a key market for our Continental European operations and for the group as a whole, offering significant commercial opportunity – especially in relation to our French AIFM offering.
“To ensure a smooth transition towards a fully integrated and cross-functional model, IQ-EQ has built a strong leadership team in France with Bertrand [d'Anselme] at the helm and I believe we are very well positioned as we move forward.”
