Do you acquire French OPCIs and SCPIs?

We focus on AIFMD-regulated alternative funds. Some OPCIs fall within the AIFMD scope; we assess each structure on a case-by-case basis.

Can a French AIFM be transferred to another manager?

Yes, the management function can often be transferred to another AMF-authorised AIFM, subject to regulatory notification and investor protections.

Is there any cost to the seller?

No. There is no fee, retainer or success commission payable by the seller. Our fees are borne by the acquiring counterparty.

AMF — France

AIFMD fund acquisitions in France.

France is home to a large AIFM ecosystem built around professional funds, OPCIs, SCPIs and specialised vehicles. AIFMD II, SFDR and the French transposition of the AIFM Directive are raising the cost of maintaining a fully regulated platform. Many French managers are now exploring transfers or sales as a pragmatic alternative to a wind-down.
