France AIFM

France stands as one of the most established and respected markets in the global funds industry, home to more than 700 asset managers, including over 400 management companies dedicated to private asset classes. With its deep expertise in private equity, real estate and infrastructure, France offers a robust ecosystem for AIFMs.

At the core of this strength lies the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), France’s financial regulator, which enforces strict authorisation requirements for the management and marketing of non-UCITS funds. The French implementation of AIFMD requires rigorous governance, transparency and capital standards, reinforcing investor confidence and market integrity.
