FundRock has expanded into France for new operations that will assist international investors in accessing alternative asset classes including private equity and real estate.
Based in Paris, the newly created alternative investment fund manager has been named “FundRock France AM”, subject to authorisation from the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF).
FundRock’s recent hire Jean Edouard Mazery will help spearhead this expansion in France.
According to FundRock, Mazery is a highly experienced executive and will relocate from Luxembourg to Paris once regulatory approval from the AMF has been obtained.
Mazery was previously managing director and head of real estate at Twenty First Capital and helped to create and develop the asset manager’s real estate fund management business.
Xavier Parain, CEO of FundRock, commented: “We are excited about our expansion into France, which underlines our strategy of offering pan-European solutions to our clients”
“The timing of our expansion reflects increasing demand from international investors wishing to put capital to work in French alternative asset classes, where solid economic fundamentals and a supportive legal and regulatory framework are opening up a range of private equity and real estate opportunities,” Parain added.
