LUXEMBOURG / PARIS — 24 June 2026 — Fundcraft, Europe’s digital-native fund operations platform for alternative investment funds, is proud to announce that fundcraft France has received authorisation from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) as a portfolio management company, in its capacity as alternative investment fund manager (AIFM).
The authorisation marks the first big milestone in fundcraft’s European expansion and enables fundcraft France to provide regulated collective portfolio management services to French investment managers. It follows the opening of fundcraft’s Paris office earlier this year and the appointment of Thomas Ibanez as Country Head, France.
Since announcing its French expansion in January, fundcraft has continued to build its local team in Paris, with key appointments including Rodolphe Letovsky as Head of Portfolio Management and Maxime Boulon as Head of Risk Management. Together, they bring deep experience across portfolio management, fund analysis, multi-management, risk, operations and process automation, reinforcing fundcraft’s ability to support French managers with local expertise and operational rigour.
With this authorisation now effective, fundcraft can 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 best-of-breed partners. Several fund launches are already underway with managers who have chosen fundcraft’s model.
France is a strategic market for fundcraft. The country sits at the center of several structural shifts in European private markets, including the growth of ELTIFs, evergreen and semi-liquid structures, retail and wealth cross-border distribution, and the increasing role of Private Markets Access platforms and institutional asset managers.
These models bring higher investor volumes, more complex liquidity and reporting requirements, and greater operational pressure. Fundcraft’s model is designed to support this complexity through a unified digital operating system across investor, distributor, fund and portfolio operations.
Thomas Ibanez, Country Head, France at fundcraft, said: “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. France is a market where distribution, regulation and investor expectations are evolving quickly, particularly around ELTIFs, evergreen structures and private markets access. Our role is to bring fundcraft’s digital operating model to this ecosystem with the rigour, transparency and operational discipline it requires.”
Olga Porro, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer at fundcraft, added: “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. This is where a digital operating model becomes essential.”
Julien De Mayer, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer at fundcraft, added:
Over the past five years, we have built and industrialised a digital-native operating model in Luxembourg, which we can now execute cross-border across Europe, with France as an important step in that journey. The democratisation of private markets cannot scale on fragmented legacy infrastructure. 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.”
Fundcraft’s entry into France builds on its Luxembourg foundation, where the company is licensed by the CSSF as both a central administrator and AIFM, supporting more than €16 billion in fund commitments and subscription targets.
The authorisation also supports fundcraft’s broader European growth strategy, as the company continues to expand its platform, regulatory footprint and local service delivery capabilities across key fund domiciles, following its recognition in the Sifted 100: France & Benelux as one of the region’s fastest-growing companies.
