Summary
Fundcraft France has obtained AMF authorisation as a portfolio management company with full capacity to act as an Alternative Investment Fund Manager, marking a significant expansion into the French alternative investment market. The authorisation enables the firm to deliver regulated collective portfolio management services and digital fund operations to French asset managers seeking to launch and scale investment vehicles in the alternative asset space.
The company operates a digital-native platform that integrates regulated portfolio management with proprietary technology infrastructure. This unified operating model consolidates investor management, distributor operations, and fund administration—historically fragmented across legacy systems in French private markets. By centralizing these functions, Fundcraft aims to reduce operational friction and enable faster scaling of complex private market strategies.
Prior to its French expansion, Fundcraft established operational credibility in Luxembourg, where the platform currently manages over €16 billion in commitments across more than 260 funds. This track record forms the foundation for its entry into the French market, where it now serves institutional asset managers, wealth platforms, and alternative investment fund managers navigating an evolving regulatory environment.
The French alternative investment landscape is undergoing structural transformation, particularly with the increased adoption of ELTIF structures and evergreen fund models. These vehicles demand higher investor volumes and more sophisticated reporting requirements than traditional private equity setups. Fundcraft's AMF authorisation positions it to manage these complexities through automated transfer agency capabilities, complex liquidity management for semi-liquid and open-ended funds, and integrated reporting systems designed to meet French regulatory requirements. A dedicated Paris-based team provides local regulatory expertise to support managers in navigating these operational demands.
