AMF greenlight for Napoleon AM
Napoleon Crypto is proud to announce that it has just received the official greenlight from the AMF (Autorité des Marchés Financiers), the French regulator, to launch Napoleon AM, a fully licensed asset management company, subject to the classical suspensive conditions (company registration....).
Napoleon AM will thus become the first asset manager in Europe funded by an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) and incorporated under French law. It will be specialized in quantitative strategies through liquid instruments and among the first AM to focus on offering investment strategies opening access to crypto (bitcoin or ether) exposure.
It is the second important milestone achieved by Napoleon Crypto team which launched a successful ICO earlier this year to finance its development issuing 29,800,000 NPX tokens. The next one will be to launch the first investment vehicles to activate the second characteristic of its token. The team has already worked on a potential structuring for these vehicles considering the evolving regulations around crypto assets and the associated operational constraints (ex: custody). The first investment vehicle is scheduled for H1 2019.
Napoleon AM will be part of the Napoleon Group, where it will enrich a range of innovative investment products based on the three Group entities:
Napoleon Group has a French DNA, with an international mindset and a strong will to comply with the highest standard regulations. Napoleon Group is betting on regulation to address institutional investors’ needs. The Group's vision is based on the three major developments that led to the restructuring of the asset management sector:
About the team: Arnaud Dartois, Jean-Charles Dudek and Stephane Ifrah combine more than 50-year experience in the financial industry, capitalizing on more than 10 years of product research.
