Sanctions & settlements professional obligations Other professionals Journalists The AMF Enforcement Committee fines a financial investment advisor and its directors for breaches of their professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee sanctioned financial investment advisor Kerdiz Finance et Conseil with a €300,000 fine and its directors Anthony Finck and Marc Peuvrier with €75,000 fines each, plus a 5-year ban on advisory activities, for multiple breaches of professional obligations from 2020-2023. This case underscores AMF's strict enforcement against unauthorized product marketing, conflict of interest mismanagement, product governance failures, and AML shortcomings, serving as a warning for advisors to prioritize client best interests and regulatory compliance. It matters because it highlights personal liability for directors and escalating penalties for systemic procedural lapses.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement decision, not a new regulation, but it reinforces existing AMF requirements under French financial advisor rules (e.g., derived from MiFID II and AIFMD implementations):
- Accurate representation: Advisors must not misrepresent authorization status or claim unapproved services like investment services provision.[Source URL:...
- Conflict of interest management: Procedures must identify and mitigate risks from commercial/ownership ties (e.g., to Vivat Multitalent group), beyond mere shareholding disclosures.
- Product governance: Collect and review product information to ensure investor protection; verify asset managers/depositaries for securities.
- Marketing limits: Prohibit advising prohibited securities (e.g., Multitalent AG bonds without French authorization) or high-risk offers like Guyane Agricole exceeding initial contributions.
Suggested Considerations
- Immediate review: Audit marketing materials, website, and client communications for accurate authorization claims; cease any unapproved representations.
- Enhance procedures: Update conflict of interest policies to fully identify/mitigate risks from promoter ties; implement robust product governance collecting issuer details (e.g., asset managers, depositaries, marketing eligibility in France).
- Product due diligence: For all recommended securities/offers, verify French marketing authorization (e.g., AMF registration, prospectus, AIFMD passport); document high-risk features like loss exceeding contributions.
- AML/CFT strengthening: Ensure full compliance with due diligence and inspector cooperation; conduct gap analysis against AMF guidelines.
- Training and governance: Train directors/staff on personal liability; test procedures via internal audits.
Key Dates
28 June 2023; Period of breaches investigated
Date of AMF Enforcement Committee decision imposing fines and 5-year ban
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High – This demonstrates AMF's pattern of heavy fines (€300k+ firm, €75k personal) and long bans (5 years) for procedural failures, with director accountability. It matters amid rising enforcement on unauthorized AIF/alternative product marketing (see related cases), risking similar sanctions for non-EU promotions; firms should prioritize audits now to preempt inspections.

Anti-money Laundering Asset management The AMF invites financial market participants to AMLA’s consultations on three draft AML/CFT implementing standards
The AMF is urging financial market participants, especially in asset management and related sectors, to engage in AMLA's public consultations on three draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) under the new EU AML/CFT package, covering customer due diligence (CDD), identification of business relationships/transactions, and enforcement measures. These RTS aim to provide harmonized, proportionate implementation guidance, significantly impacting CDD processes and supervisory consistency across the EU, with underlying rules applying from 10 July 2027.[Source URL: https://www.amf-france.org/en/news-publications/news/amf-invites-financial-market-participants-amlas-consultations-three-draft-amlcft-implementing#xts=607212&xtor=RSS-11&type=RSS]

- Enforcement RTS (Pecuniary Sanctions/Administrative Measures): Under AMLD6 Article 53(10), standardizes supervisor assessment/categorization of breaches for proportionate, effective, dissuasive...
Suggested Considerations
- Gap analysis and preparation: Assess current CDD/business identification/enforcement processes against drafts; identify changes for remote onboarding, PEPs, sectoral measures (e.g., asset manager Article 17 scenarios), and sanctions screening; set milestones for policy/system updates by July 2027.
- Engage hearings: Attend 24 March 2026 public hearing for CDD/business RTS.
- Monitor post-consultation: Track AMLA/EC adoption (expected Q1 2026 for some related RTS) and national implementations (e.g., CSSF data reporting).
Key Dates

- AMLA submits final draft RTS to European Commission for adoption
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High - These RTS operationalize core AMLR/AMLD6 mandates with July 2027 applicability, demanding immediate consultation input to influence final rules and 18-month lead time for system/process overhauls (e.g., CDD verification sources, harmonized transaction linking). Failure to engage risks non-compliant frameworks amid AMLA's push for EU-wide consistency, elevated direct supervision risks, and stricter enforcement; asset managers face acute challenges from intermediary distribution rules.[Source URL:...

Sanctions & settlements professional obligations Journalists Investment management companies Listed companies and issuers AMF Enforcement Committee fines the depositary CACEIS Bank for breaches of its professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee fined CACEIS Bank €3.5 million and issued a warning on 17 December 2025 for breaches of its professional obligations as depositary for seven French-law UCITS funds managed by H2O AM LLP (later transferred to H2O AM Europe). This decision underscores the AMF's strict enforcement of depositary oversight duties, particularly in verifying fund managers' investment monitoring systems, asset valuations, and compliance with prospectus constraints like issuer limits and security ratings. It matters for compliance teams as it highlights personal accountability risks and potential fines for inadequate due diligence in fund depositary roles, signaling heightened scrutiny amid past H2O fund issues.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement action, not a regulatory change; it reinforces existing obligations under French UCITS rules (transposing UCITS Directive V) for depositaries. Key upheld objections include:
- Failure to perform sufficient checks on the asset management company's (AMC) systems for monitoring UCITS investment ratios and valuing unlisted securities.
- Inadequate verification of investment decision legality, such as compliance with prospectus limits on debt security ratings, derivative types, and the 10% single-issuer bond exposure cap.
No new...
Suggested Considerations
- Conduct gap analysis: Review depositary control frameworks against AMF expectations for verifying AMC investment monitoring, unlisted asset valuations, and prospectus compliance (e.g., 10% issuer limits, ratings).
- Enhance oversight processes: Implement robust, documented checks on AMC systems, including independent testing of ratios, legality of investments, and derivatives.
- Training and audits: Train staff on UCITS depositary duties; perform internal audits of ongoing fund oversight, prioritizing illiquid/unlisted exposures.
- Monitor appeals: Track any CACEIS appeal, as outcomes could set precedents; update policies if upheld.
- Reporting: Ensure timely escalation of suspected AMC breaches to AMF if identified.
Key Dates
- AMF Enforcement Committee decision date: €3.5M fine and warning imposed on CACEIS Bank
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High - This recent (Dec 2025) decision directly impacts depositaries with €3.5M precedent for oversight failures, amid AMF's pattern of multi-million fines (e.g., €5.67M total in related 2024 case involving CACEIS). It elevates risks for UCITS/AIF depositaries handling non-standard assets, demanding immediate control reviews to avoid personal sanctions, warnings, or business restrictions, especially post-H2O scandal.

Europe & international Sanctions & settlements Publication of the annual ESMA Report on Sanctions and Measures for 2024: AMF imposes the highest amounts in Europe
The ESMA Annual Report on Sanctions and Measures for 2024, published on 16 October 2025, aggregates enforcement data from EEA national competent authorities (NCAs), highlighting that the French AMF imposed the highest total sanctions at €29.4 million—nearly a third of the EEA's €100 million aggregate—primarily under MAR and MiFID II. This matters for compliance professionals as it signals intensified enforcement focus on market abuse and investor protection across Europe, with France leading in both fine amounts and settlement usage, underscoring a trend toward higher penalties and agile resolution mechanisms.
What Changed
This is not a new regulation but a retrospective report documenting 2024 enforcement trends; no direct regulatory changes are introduced. Key observations include a significant rise in total fine amounts to over €100 million (from €71 million in 2023) despite stable sanction volumes (975 vs. 976), with MAR (377 sanctions, €45.5 million) and MiFID II/MiFIR (294 sanctions, €44.5 million) dominating. Notable shifts: increased settlement usage (94 agreements for €21.9 million, 22% of total), with AMF at 18% of its penalties via settlements (vs.
Key Dates
- ESMA publishes second consolidated Annual Sanctions Report for 2024 data
Compliance Impact
Urgency: medium – This report reinforces existing rules without new requirements, but signals escalating financial penalties (up 40% YoY) and settlement trends, pressuring firms to prioritize MAR/MiFID compliance to avoid outsized AMF-style fines, especially in France or cross-EEA operations. Matters for resource allocation toward surveillance and remediation, as NCAs like AMF demonstrate willingness for multimillion-euro penalties.

Crypto-assets Innovation The ACPR and AMF publish the summary of responses to the consultation conducted by the Working Group on Smart Contract Certification
The ACPR and AMF have published a summary of responses to a public consultation on a 2024 Working Group report exploring smart contract certification in DeFi, addressing technical standards, audit practices, and potential regulatory frameworks. This matters for compliance as it signals preparatory steps toward possible EU-level DeFi regulation, emphasizing risk reduction and trust-building without immediate mandates, influencing future operational and audit strategies for crypto firms.
What Changed
No binding regulatory changes are introduced; this is an exploratory summary confirming industry support for proposed principles on technical standards (security, governance, compliance), audit methods (third-party, self-certification), and regulatory avenues (preference for voluntary certification over mandatory). Respondents endorsed alignment with industry best practices, risk-based approaches, and proportionality, with calls for technologically neutral standards and continuous monitoring models.
Suggested Considerations
- Monitor developments: Track ACPR/AMF Fintech Forum updates for potential voluntary certification pilots or EU harmonization under MiCA/pending DeFi rules.
- Review internal practices: Align smart contract governance, audits, and change management with endorsed principles (e.g., third-party audits, risk-based recertification on material changes).
- Enhance documentation: Prepare for possible protocol-level certification, including modular DeFi interactions and continuous on-chain monitoring.
- Engage stakeholders: Participate in future consultations via industry groups like GDF or Adan to influence voluntary frameworks.
Key Dates
- Working Group conducts analysis and drafts report on smart contract certification
- Report published for public consultation
- Industry responses submitted (e.g., GDF, Adan)
- Summary of consultation responses published by ACPR and AMF
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Medium – This is not enforceable yet but previews potential mandatory certification in EU DeFi regulation, critical for firms scaling smart contract use to mitigate user risks and build trust; proactive alignment now avoids future retrofits, especially with MiCA's crypto focus.

Asset ManagerBroker DealerFintech Financial disclosures & corporate financing Journalists Listed companies and issuers The AMF orders DANAE GROUP to file a draft takeover bid for ENTREPRENDRE shares
The AMF has ordered Danae Group to file a draft takeover bid for shares in Entreprendre, enforcing mandatory public offer rules triggered by a shareholding threshold crossing. This matters for compliance professionals as it exemplifies AMF's strict oversight of takeover regulations, ensuring market integrity, equal treatment of shareholders, and timely disclosures in listed company transactions. It underscores the risks of non-compliance, potentially leading to enforcement actions.
What Changed
No new regulatory changes are introduced; this is an enforcement decision applying existing AMF rules on mandatory takeover bids under the General Regulation (RGAMF), particularly Articles 234-2 et seq. Key requirements include: filing a draft offer with the AMF for compliance review within 10 trading days; mandatory cash offers at the highest price paid by the offeror (alone or in concert) in the prior 12 months; adherence to principles of free play of bids, equal treatment, transparency, market integrity, fairness, and competition.
Suggested Considerations
- File draft takeover bid immediately: Submit to AMF with price details (highest 12-month price, cash only), intent on squeeze-out, and supporting documents.
- Appoint independent appraiser: Mandatory if squeeze-out planned; fairness statement required.
- Inform AMF and publish: Disclose filing; adhere to trading restrictions during pre-offer/offer periods.
- Prepare target response: Entreprendre to file draft reply document, potentially involving works council.
- Monitor thresholds: Ongoing vigilance for 30% voting rights or 1% 12-month crossings by any party.
Key Dates
6 weeks of triggering event; - Danae Group must file draft takeover bid (practice standard; exact trigger date not specified in publication)
- AMF reviews draft for compliance and issues visa (extendable if appraiser or works council involved, min. 5 trading days post-target reply)
offer period (post-announcement); - Strict trading rules apply; offeror may acquire shares until opening, with restrictions
- From AMF filing notice to results publication; minimum success threshold 50% (waivable by AMF)
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High - Immediate filing obligation for Danae Group risks escalation to sanctions if ignored; for others, it signals AMF's proactive enforcement, heightening scrutiny on share acquisitions in listed firms. Matters due to potential market disruption, shareholder protection mandates, and precedent for rapid intervention (e.g., visa timelines enforce orderly processes).

The French (AMF) and Italian (Consob) financial authorities have jointly proposed amendments to the EU's DLT Pilot Regime to increase its competitiveness and attract market participants. The Pilot Regime, which became operational in March 2023, has underperformed with only three authorized infrastructures and minimal live trading activity, prompting regulators to recommend structural changes including greater proportionality, expanded eligible instruments, and raised activity thresholds.
What Changed
- The proposed amendments address the Pilot Regime's limited uptake by introducing the following regulatory modifications:
Scope Expansion
- Expand eligible financial instruments from current restrictions to all financial assets
- Remove categorical limitations that previously restricted participation
Activity Thresholds
- Raise activity thresholds from €6 billion to €100 billion
- Introduce greater proportionality based on project scale, allowing smaller players simplified requirements
Operational Flexibility
Suggested Considerations
- *For Market Infrastructure Operators:
- *Reassess Business Cases: Evaluate viability under revised €100 billion thresholds and expanded instrument eligibility
- *Prepare Applications: Organizations previously excluded by €6 billion threshold should prepare authorization applications under new proportionality framework
- *Monitor Commission Decisions: Track European Commission's response to ESMA report (expected Q2 2026) for final regulatory direction
- *Compliance Documentation: Prepare operational and technical documentation demonstrating alignment with revised requirements
Key Dates
- Pilot Regime became operational
- AMF and Consob formal proposals submitted
- ESMA report deadline to European Commission on Pilot Regime functioning and recommendations
- Expected European Commission report to Parliament and Council with recommendations on Pilot Regime extension, amendment, or permanent conversion
- End of MiCA transitional period; full crypto-asset regime implementation

Crypto-assets Innovation The ACPR and the AMF publish the findings from the Working Group on Smart Contract Certification, and launch a Public Consultation
The ACPR and AMF have published findings from their 2024 Working Group on Smart Contract Certification in DeFi, launching a public consultation on February 3, 2025, to explore certification frameworks for smart contracts, focusing on standards, audits, and regulatory options. This matters as it signals proactive French regulatory preparation for potential EU-level DeFi rules under MiCA, aiming to enhance security, governance, and compliance without immediate mandates, while industry feedback favors voluntary schemes.
What Changed
- No binding regulatory changes yet; this is exploratory work anticipating future regulation. The report proposes:
- Standards for security, governance, and compliance across execution environments.
- Audit frameworks including public authority, third-party auditors, or self-certification.
- Regulatory avenues from voluntary certification to obligations, with proportionate approaches.
Consultation responses (summarized post-March 2025) confirmed support for technical standards and audits...
Suggested Considerations
- Participate/Review: DeFi/crypto firms should review the report and response summary; late participation may inform ongoing discussions (consultation closed).
- Assess Smart Contracts: Evaluate internal smart contracts against proposed standards (security, governance, compliance) and audit practices for voluntary adoption.
- Monitor Developments: Track ACPR/AMF updates and EU MiCA/DeFi harmonization; prepare for potential fast-track CASP licensing if using certified contracts.
- Engage Stakeholders: Join ACPR-AMF Fintech Forum dialogues; implement AML/CFT enhancements for smart contract risks, as AMF/ACPR assess ongoing compliance.
Key Dates
- Conclusions from consultation responses to be presented
- Working Group report published and public consultation launched
- Public consultation closed (per some reports; responses summarized afterward)
- ACPR/AMF published summary of consultation responses
- DASP regime fully phased out under MiCA transitional period
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Medium. This is non-binding exploratory work with consultation closed, but it foreshadows potential mandatory smart contract certification in DeFi, aligning with MiCA's risk mitigation goals. Firms face low short-term risk but high long-term impact if voluntary standards evolve into obligations, especially amid DASP phase-out by July 2026 and EU harmonization needs; proactive adoption builds MiCA compliance edge.

Crypto-assets Innovation The AMF publishes the summary of responses received to its Discussion Paper on Decentralised Finance
The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) has published a summary of stakeholder responses to its June 2023 Discussion Paper on Decentralised Finance (DeFi), analyzing regulatory challenges posed by automated, decentralized crypto-asset activities. This matters for compliance professionals as it signals the AMF's ongoing commitment to developing a balanced DeFi framework amid MiCA's implementation, potentially shaping future supervision of decentralized protocols while emphasizing investor protection and innovation.
What Changed
No immediate regulatory changes or new requirements are introduced; this is a non-binding summary of consultation feedback from July 2024, intended to inform future discussions rather than enact rules. It highlights stakeholder views on DeFi's challenges, such as decentralization's impact on traditional oversight, with the AMF planning continued ecosystem engagement to outline proportionate responses.
Suggested Considerations
- Monitor and engage: Participate in AMF's ongoing DeFi discussions and tokenization consultations for asset managers; no mandatory actions from this summary alone.
- MiCA compliance: DASPs must apply for CASP licenses or leverage exemptions (e.g., notify AMF with operational/AML details if regulated entities); ensure AML/CTF alignment with EBA/TFR "Travel Rule" extensions.
- Assess decentralization: DeFi protocols should evaluate if they qualify as "sufficiently decentralized" to evade DASP rules; traditional firms notify AMF before crypto services.
- Update policies: Incorporate AMF clarifications on DASP transitions (DOC-2019-23/24 updates) and prepare for 2026 priorities like DORA cybersecurity.
Key Dates
- AMF publishes initial Discussion Paper on DeFi regulatory challenges
- AMF publishes summary of responses to DeFi Discussion Paper
- MiCA enters force for CASPs
- End of MiCA transitional period for DASPs; full CASP licensing required
- EU AMLR ("single rulebook") comes into effect, standardizing crypto due diligence
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Medium - This consultation summary does not impose new obligations but underscores evolving DeFi scrutiny within MiCA's firm deadlines (e.g., June 2026 transition end), making it critical for crypto firms to align now to avoid sanctions like DASP withdrawals. It matters for maintaining competitiveness in France's innovation-friendly regime, especially with AMF's 2026 focus on MiCA convergence and tokenization.

Sanctions & settlements professional obligations Other professionals Journalists AMF Enforcement Committee fines a financial investment advisor and its director for breaches of their professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee has issued multiple enforcement decisions against financial investment advisors and their management for breaches of professional obligations, with the most recent and significant case involving Carat GP and its directors receiving combined fines of €2.5 million and permanent/extended bans from operating as financial investment advisors. These cases establish critical precedent regarding advisor duties around client disclosure, product authorization, conflict of interest management, and honest/fair conduct—requirements that apply across the entire financial investment advisory sector.
What Changed
The enforcement decisions clarify and reinforce several core professional obligations for financial investment advisors:
Transparency and Disclosure Obligations
Financial investment advisors must inform clients of any remuneration received for their advice and justify improvements to advisory services in return for compensation received.
Suggested Considerations
- *Immediate Compliance Review:
- *Governance and Documentation:
- *Training and Culture:
- *Regulatory Engagement:
Key Dates
- AMF Enforcement Committee decision against Invest Securities and financial advisors (€90,000 to €60,000 fines)

Appointment Sanctions & settlements Journalists Valérie Michel-Amsellem becomes Chair of the AMF Enforcement Committee
This AMF publication announces the appointment of Valérie Michel-Amsellem as the new Chair of the AMF Enforcement Committee, the independent body responsible for imposing sanctions in financial market violations. It matters for compliance professionals because leadership changes in enforcement can signal shifts in sanctioning priorities, rigor, or focus areas, potentially influencing how firms approach risk management and remediation. While no immediate policy changes are introduced, monitoring the new Chair's tenure is essential given the Committee's role in upholding market integrity.
What Changed
There are no substantive regulatory changes, new requirements, or amendments to the AMF General Regulation outlined in this announcement. The publication solely details an internal governance appointment within the AMF's structure, where the Enforcement Committee maintains its established autonomy for sanction decisions, separate from the AMF Board. This aligns with prior affirmations of the Committee's independence, as upheld in ECHR rulings on its impartiality.
Suggested Considerations
- Review backgrounds of key AMF personnel, including Valérie Michel-Amsellem, for insights into enforcement trends (e.g., via AMF governance pages: https://www.amf-france.org/en/amf/our-organisation/our-governance).
- Enhance internal monitoring of AMF sanction releases (https://www.amf-france.org/en/news-publications/news-releases/enforcement-committee-news-releases) to track patterns under new leadership.
- Conduct gap analyses on compliance programs for high-risk areas like market abuse, given the Committee's sanction powers up to €100 million or 10x profits.
Key Dates
- Appointment takes effect upon announcement, with no disclosed transition period
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Low - This personnel change does not impose new obligations or alter existing rules, posing minimal immediate risk. It matters indirectly for long-term strategy, as the Chair could steer enforcement toward stricter penalties or novel interpretations of obligations (e.g., as analyzed in historical sanction studies: https://faculty-research.ipag.edu/wp-content/uploads/recherche/WP/IPAG_WP_2014_072.pdf).

Appointment Sanctions & settlements Journalists Appointements to the AMF Enforcement Committee
This AMF publication announces the partial renewal of the Enforcement Committee, including four new appointments, two reappointments, and the subsequent election of Valérie Michel-Amsellem as Chair on 28 February 2024. It matters for compliance professionals as changes in committee composition can influence enforcement priorities, sanction severity, and interpretations of financial regulations under AMF jurisdiction.
What Changed
There are no new regulatory requirements or substantive changes to laws; this is an administrative renewal of the Enforcement Committee's membership. Key developments include: new members Jean-Claude Hassan (Vice-President of the Council of State appointee, also chairs second section), Xavier Samuel (Court of Cassation appointee), Sophie Langlois and Aurélien Soustre (Ministerial appointees); reappointments of Anne Le Lorier and Ute Meyenberg.
Suggested Considerations
- Amsellem's prior roles in economic regulation and Court of Cassation) to anticipate enforcement trends; update internal AMF monitoring dashboards with new committee details; assess ongoing investigations or settlements for potential impact from refreshed perspectives.
Key Dates
- Ministerial order appointing new and reappointed members
- Publication of the ministerial order
- Composition published in the Official Journal
- First meeting; election of Valérie Michel-Amsellem as Chair and Jean-Claude Hassan as second section Chair
Compliance Impact
Urgency: low - This personnel change poses minimal immediate risk but signals potential evolution in enforcement tone under new leadership experienced in sanctions and regulation (e.g., Michel-Amsellem's appellate background). It matters longer-term for firms in protracted AMF proceedings, as committee decisions on sanctions and settlements directly affect penalties and reputational harm.

Asset ManagerBroker DealerFintech Sanctions & settlements professional obligations Other professionals Journalists AMF Enforcement Committee fines a financial investment advisor and its director for breach of professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee imposed sanctions on SPI (a financial investment advisor) and its director Vincent Rhodes on 9 January 2024 for breaching professional obligations. This case demonstrates the AMF's enforcement priorities regarding advisor conduct standards and establishes precedent for disciplinary action against both firms and individual managers who fail to meet regulatory requirements.
What Changed
- The decision does not introduce new regulatory requirements but rather clarifies enforcement of existing professional obligations for financial investment advisors.
- Comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing financial investment advisory activities
- Maintain professional standards in their dealings with clients and regulators
- Ensure their directors and managers operate within regulatory boundaries
The enforcement action reflects the AMF's interpretation and application of existing professional conduct standards rather...
Suggested Considerations
- *For Financial Investment Advisors:
- *Review compliance frameworks - Audit existing policies and procedures against the professional obligations that triggered this enforcement action
- *Enhance governance controls - Implement systems to ensure directors and senior management comply with regulatory requirements
- *Document compliance - Maintain records demonstrating adherence to professional conduct standards
- *Staff training - Ensure all personnel understand the scope of professional obligations and consequences of breach

Sanctions & settlements professional obligations Investment advice Other professionals Journalists AMF Enforcement Committee fines a financial investment advisor and its director for breach of professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee imposed a five-year ban on financial investment advisor DCT (formerly Didier Maurin Finance) and its director Didier Maurin from practicing, plus fines of €150,000 on the firm and €200,000 on the director, for recommending unauthorized Samoan AIF investments to 64 clients, failing to manage conflicts of interest (e.g., no conflicts register), and breaching duties of competence, care, and diligence in clients' best interests. This matters as it reinforces AMF's strict enforcement on CIFs (Conseillers en Investissements Financiers) for product authorization checks, conflicts management, and client-centric obligations under MiFID II transposition in France, signaling heightened scrutiny on advisory integrity amid rising sanctions. The Conseil d'Etat upheld the decision on 9 September 2024, dismissing appeals and confirming sanctions.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement decision, not a new regulation, but it clarifies and reinforces existing requirements for CIFs:
- Product marketing authorization: CIFs must verify that recommended investments (e.g., AIFs) are authorized for sale in France before advising clients; recommending unauthorized products breaches...
- Conflicts of interest management: CIFs must maintain an effective conflicts register, identify risks (e.g., personal benefits), and implement operational procedures; absence or failure constitutes a...
- No aggravating factor for incomplete disclosures on unauthorized products absent specific rules, but core diligence duty remains absolute.
These align with AMF Position-Recommendation DOC-2017-15 on...
Suggested Considerations
- Immediate audit: Review client portfolios for unauthorized products (e.g., non-EU AIFs); cease recommendations and notify/remediate affected clients.
- Conflicts policy enhancement: Implement/maintain a conflicts of interest register; map all potential conflicts (e.g., personal investments, commissions); test procedures annually with scenarios.
- Training and documentation: Mandatory staff training on product authorization checks (e.g., via AMF registers); document all advice with diligence evidence; update compliance manuals per AMF DOC-2017-15.
- Monitoring: Enhance pre-approval workflows for recommendations; report material breaches to AMF under Article L.621-18 of Monetary and Financial Code.
- Director accountability: Senior managers must evidence personal oversight of compliance.
Key Dates
- AMF Enforcement Committee decision imposing bans and fines
- Conseil d'Etat judgment (no. 464877) dismissing appeals, upholding sanctions, and ordering €1,500 costs each to AMF
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High - This upheld decision (post-2024 appeal) exemplifies AMF's pattern of escalating fines/bans on CIFs for conduct failures (e.g., €2.5M on Carat GP in 2025; €120K-€150K on Capexis upheld 2025), amid 2024-2025 enforcement wave on professional obligations. Matters for CIFs as it heightens personal liability for directors, risks business bans, and underscores client-best-interest primacy; non-EU product exposure amplifies fines in cross-border contexts.

Sanctions & settlements Journalists The AMF Enforcement Committee fines a French tied agent of a Cypriot investment services provider and its manager for breaches of their professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee fined France Safe Media (FSM), a French tied agent of Cypriot provider VPR Safe Financial Group Limited (Alvexo platform), €300,000 and imposed a 10-year ban from tied agent activities and reception/transmission of orders (RTO) services, while its manager Lior Mattouk received a €100,000 fine and similar 10-year ban, for breaches occurring January 2019–September 2021. This decision, dated 10 November 2023 and upheld by Conseil d'Etat on 16 June 2025, underscores AMF's strict enforcement of professional obligations for tied agents marketing high-risk CFDs, emphasizing staff qualifications, client assessments, risk warnings, disclosures, and diligence. It matters for cross-border intermediaries as it highlights personal liability for managers and the finality of sanctions post-appeal, signaling heightened scrutiny on CFD promotion and tied agent compliance in France.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement action, not a new regulation, but it clarifies and reinforces existing requirements under French rules implementing MiFID II for tied agents:
- Staff qualifications: Tied agents must verify sales staff have minimum qualifications and knowledge; post-hoc inadequate tests do not suffice.
- Client knowledge/experience assessment: Questionnaires must be robust, with appropriate scoring; account managers cannot interfere (e.g., by prompting answer changes).
- Promotional communications: CFD ads must include prominent risk warnings; bans on promoting non-limited-risk CFD accounts must be followed; banners lacking warnings violate rules.
- Status disclosure: Clients/potential clients must be informed of tied agent status and principal's identity upon first contact.
Suggested Considerations
- Conduct gap analysis: Review staff training/qualification records, client assessment processes (questionnaires, scoring, non-interference controls), promotional materials for risk warnings, and disclosure scripts for tied agent status.
- Enhance manager oversight: Implement personal accountability frameworks aligning with senior managers' regimes; document diligence/audit trails.
- Audit CFD marketing: Ensure all ads comply with CFD retail restrictions (e.g., limited-risk accounts only); test client knowledge processes for robustness.
- Training programs: Roll out mandatory training on MiFID II tied agent rules, with pre-hire testing and ongoing monitoring.
- Cross-border review: Non-EU principals (e.g., CySEC-licensed) should audit French tied agents for alignment with host-state rules.
Key Dates
- AMF Enforcement Committee decision SAN-2023-15 imposing fines and bans
- French version of press release published
- Conseil d'Etat judgment (n° 490826) dismissing appeals by FSM and Mattouk, confirming sanctions and ordering €4,000 costs to AMF
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High – Though dated (2019–2021 breaches), the 2025 appeal dismissal makes sanctions final, serving as a binding precedent for tied agents amid AMF's ongoing CFD enforcement wave (e.g., parallel fines on providers like CIC banks). It elevates personal risk for managers and signals intensified audits on client protection in high-risk products, critical for France-facing FX/CFD firms to avoid €100k–€400k fines and 10-year bans, especially post-MiFID II retail curbs.

Innovation Markets Decentralised Finance (DeFi): IOSCO publishes its consultation report
The AMF publication announces IOSCO's consultation report on Decentralised Finance (DeFi), highlighting ongoing global efforts to regulate DeFi activities under IOSCO's 2023 policy recommendations. This matters for compliance professionals as it signals intensifying scrutiny on DeFi platforms for investor protection, market integrity, and financial stability risks, potentially leading to harmonized rules that bridge traditional finance and crypto assets. Firms involved in DeFi must monitor this to align with emerging "same risk, same rule" standards across jurisdictions.
What Changed
No immediate binding regulatory changes are introduced, as this is a consultation report tied to IOSCO's 2023 DeFi Recommendations and a 2025 Thematic Review assessing implementation progress. Key focuses include enhanced regulatory cooperation (Recommendation 11), addressing gaps in enforcement for Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASPs), and applying CDA Policy Recommendations to DeFi for risks like financial stability, investor protection, and market integrity. Progress is noted in legal frameworks, but challenges persist in cross-border cooperation and enforcement beyond CASPs.
Suggested Considerations
- Review and comment: Submit feedback on IOSCO consultations by early February 2026 to influence final guidance on DeFi risks.
- Gap analysis: Assess current operations against IOSCO's 10 Assessed Recommendations (e.g., market integrity, investor protection, cross-border cooperation) and FSB frameworks, noting reforms underway.
- Enhance compliance: Implement AML mechanisms for DeFi (e.g., on-chain identity attestations), improve cybersecurity, business continuity, and enforcement powers for CASPs.
- Monitor cross-border: Leverage IOSCO MMoU for cooperation and prepare for global CASP supervision.
- Pilot participation: Explore EU DLT Pilot Regime or similar sandboxes for compliant DeFi activities.
Key Dates
- Cut-off date for assessing Participating Jurisdictions' regulatory frameworks in IOSCO's Thematic Review
- Publication date of FSB and IOSCO reports assessing crypto-asset and stablecoin implementation, including DeFi elements
- IOSCO consultation comment deadline on related reports (e.g., FMIs’ management of general business risks)
- CPMI-IOSCO consultation comment deadline on FMIs’ general business risks guidance, relevant to DeFi infrastructure
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High – While not yet binding, the report underscores incomplete global implementation (e.g., enforcement gaps, regulatory arbitrage risks), with IOSCO/FSB calling for swift action amid 2025-2026 reviews. This matters as DeFi's growth amplifies systemic risks, prompting "same risk, same rule" enforcement; firms risk non-compliance fines, operational restrictions, or lost innovation opportunities without proactive alignment.

Asset ManagerCrypto ExchangeFintech Sanctions & settlements Journalists The AMF Enforcement Committee fines an asset management company and its directors for breaches of their professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee fined asset management company M Capital Partners €200,000 and its directors Rudy Secco (€70,000) and Stéphanie Minissier (€35,000) on 31 December 2025 for breaches of professional obligations spanning August 2019 to December 2023, including unauthorized investment services, deficient investment processes, conflicts of interest failures, and inadequate AML/CFT systems. This decision underscores AMF's focus on operational robustness in asset managers, particularly those acting as tied agents, and holds senior managers personally accountable. It matters for compliance as it exemplifies enforcement trends targeting systemic deficiencies, with potential appeals signaling ongoing scrutiny.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement action, not a regulatory change, but it reinforces existing AMF requirements under French Monetary and Financial Code for asset managers:
- Operational procedures: Investment allocation processes must be precise, traceable, and compliant; failure to verify or document renders systems non-operational.
- Scope of services: Asset managers (and tied agents) cannot provide unauthorized services like placing financial instruments without firm commitment, circumventing licensed activities.
- Conflicts of interest: Robust identification, prevention, and management systems are mandatory.
- AML/CFT: Due diligence on fund assets/liabilities must be systematic and operational, with effective risk mapping and procedures.
Suggested Considerations
- Immediate gap analysis: Review investment procedures for precision, traceability, and operationality; verify authorization of lending entities and service scopes (e.g., no unauthorized placement services).
- Enhance AML/CFT: Implement operational risk mapping, systematic due diligence on fund assets/liabilities, and evidence of effectiveness.
- Conflicts framework: Formalize identification/prevention processes, especially in multi-role firms (asset manager + tied agent).
- Senior manager attestation: Document personal oversight; conduct training on attribution of breaches.
- Marketing/retrocessions: Ensure traceability and proof of client benefit (cross-reference with similar findings).
Key Dates
December 2023; - Period of breaches investigated, covering investment services, processes, conflicts, and AML/CFT failures
- AMF Enforcement Committee decision date imposing fines on M Capital Partners and directors
- Public press release date
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High - This reflects a pattern of 2025 AMF fines on asset managers for operational/AML failures (e.g., €1.3M on Altaroc Partners 15 Sep 2025; €400k on Eternam 9 Sep 2025), signaling intensified scrutiny post-AIFMD reviews. Matters due to personal liability for managers, appeal risks amplifying precedent, and applicability to hybrid models; non-compliance risks fines scaling to €1M+ and reputational damage.

Sanctions & settlements professional obligations Journalists The AMF Enforcement Committee fines the Association Nationale des Conseillers Financiers-CIF for breaches of its professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee fined the Association Nationale des Conseillers Financiers-CIF (ANACOFI-CIF), a professional association approved for investment advisors (CIFs), €250,000 with a warning, and its former president €20,000 with a warning, for breaching professional obligations in membership vetting, controls, archiving, and conflicts of interest management. This decision, dated September 5, 2023, underscores AMF's scrutiny of professional associations' gatekeeping and oversight roles in ensuring CIF compliance. It matters as it signals heightened enforcement against associations failing to uphold regulatory standards, potentially impacting CIF ecosystem integrity and prompting reviews of similar bodies.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement action, not a new regulation, but it reinforces existing obligations under French Monetary and Financial Code (CMF) for approved professional associations like ANACOFI-CIF.
- Failure to verify quality of CIF membership application dossiers and non-compliance with internal adhesion procedures.
- Non-respect of procedures for member controls, sanctions, and proper archiving of control dossiers.
- Violation of internal rules on conflicts of interest management.
No new requirements were introduced; the case reiterates enforcement of CMF Articles L.541-8 and L.541-8-1 on documentation,...
Suggested Considerations
- Review and strengthen internal procedures for CIF membership vetting, ensuring dossier quality checks align with approved protocols.
- Implement robust systems for member controls, sanctions processes, and secure archiving of all dossiers per CMF L.541-8 requirements.
- Update conflicts of interest policies and registers to fully comply with internal rules and CMF obligations, documenting all identifications.
- Conduct gap analyses on governance, documentation, and AML/KYC for CIF activities, training staff on operationalizing procedures.
- For CIF members: Verify personal compliance with association standards to mitigate contagion risks from association sanctions.
Key Dates
- AMF Sanctions Commission hearing where €500,000 sanction was initially sought (reduced in final decision)
- AMF Sanctions Commission decision issued, imposing fines and warnings on ANACOFI-CIF (€250,000) and M. Patrick Galtier (€20,000)
September 5, 2023; - Decision subject to potential recourse (appeal period not specified in public summaries, typically 1 month under AMF procedures)
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Medium - This 2023 decision is not imminent but remains highly relevant given ongoing AMF focus on CIF compliance (e.g., 2025 sanctions for similar breaches like archiving and AML failures). It matters for preventing fines, bans, or reputational damage, as AMF targets systemic weaknesses in associations and CIFs, amplifying risks for non-compliant entities in a post-MiFID II enforcement environment.

Crypto-assets Innovation Fintech Journalists The AMF publishes a discussion paper on Decentralised Finance (DeFi)
The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), France's financial markets regulator, published a discussion paper on June 19, 2023, outlining preliminary thoughts on regulatory challenges posed by Decentralised Finance (DeFi) activities on crypto-assets, inviting stakeholder feedback by September 30, 2023. A summary of responses was released on July 10, 2024, highlighting key themes like defining DeFi, distinguishing protocol types, and applying a "same activity, same risk, same regulation" principle. This matters for compliance professionals as it signals AMF's intent to develop proportionate DeFi oversight, balancing innovation with investor protection, AML/CTF risks, and market integrity amid evolving EU frameworks like MiCA.
What Changed
- This is a discussion paper and consultation, not binding legislation, so no immediate regulatory changes or requirements are imposed. Key discussion points include:
- Defining DeFi based on decentralization criteria (e.g., automation, network architecture, governance, lack of single points of failure).
- Distinguishing permissioned vs. permissionless protocols and public vs. private blockchains.
- Regulatory approaches to smart contracts (e.g., certification, varying responsibilities), open-source code, and governance.
- Adopting IOSCO recommendations: identify responsible persons (developers, DAOs), enforce risk management, disclosures, conflict-of-interest mitigation, and applicable laws.
Suggested Considerations
- Submit feedback (past deadline): Stakeholders could contribute by September 30, 2023, to innovation@amf-france.org.
- Monitor developments: Track AMF/ACPR follow-ups, including smart contract certification discussions.
- Conduct internal assessments: Analyze DeFi exposures using IOSCO criteria—identify responsible persons, risks (operational, AML/CTF), interconnections with TradFi, and ensure disclosures/conflict management.
- Enhance compliance programs: Prepare for proportionate rules on governance, cybersecurity, solvency, transparency; align with "same risk, same regulation" for DeFi-like activities.
- Engage stakeholders: Participate in AMF ecosystem dialogues at French/EU/international levels.
Key Dates
- AMF publishes initial discussion paper on DeFi regulatory issues
- Deadline for stakeholder contributions to the discussion paper
- AMF publishes summary of responses to the discussion paper
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Medium – This is non-binding consultation feedback without hard deadlines or rules, but it previews AMF's regulatory trajectory toward DeFi oversight, including AML/CTF enforcement and investor safeguards, amid MiCA rollout. It matters because DeFi's growth amplifies risks like pseudonymity-driven financial crime and market abuse, potentially triggering enforcement of existing laws; firms risk non-compliance if unprepared for "same risk, same regulation" application, especially with AMF's international push.

Sanctions & settlements Journalists Investment management companies The AMF Enforcement Committee fines a portfolio asset management company for breaches of its professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee fined portfolio asset management company M Capital Partners €200,000, and its directors Rudy Secco (€70,000) and Stéphanie Minissier (€35,000) on 31 December 2025, for multiple breaches spanning August 2019 to December 2023, including unauthorized placement of financial instruments as a tied agent, non-operational investment allocation processes, inadequate compliance with investment procedures, deficient conflicts of interest management, and non-operational AML/CFT systems. This decision underscores AMF's strict enforcement of operational compliance and scope limitations for asset managers, serving as a critical reminder for firms to ensure robust, traceable systems and director accountability. It matters because it highlights personal liability for managers and recurring AMF focus on AML/CFT and procedural deficiencies, potentially signaling increased scrutiny in 2026.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement action, not a regulatory change introducing new rules. It reinforces existing obligations under French financial regulations (e.g., Monetary and Financial Code) for asset...
- Strict limits on services: AMCs cannot provide placement of financial instruments without a firm commitment basis, even as tied agents; doing so circumvents authorized investment services.
- Operational investment systems: Processes for allocating investments between funds must be precise, with full traceability of verifications.
- Conflicts of interest: Firms must identify, prevent, and manage conflicts effectively.
- AML/CFT: Systems must be fully operational, with adequate due diligence (e.g., client identification, PEP screening).
Suggested Considerations
- Audit dual roles: Review tied agent activities to ensure no unauthorized placement services; cease any circumvention of AMC service restrictions.
- Enhance investment processes: Implement precise, operational rules for fund investment allocation, with full traceability of due diligence and verifications.
- Strengthen controls: Update conflicts of interest frameworks, AML/CFT systems (including due diligence, training, and risk assessments), and compliance monitoring to ensure operational effectiveness.
- Director oversight: Responsible managers must demonstrate active supervision; conduct gap analyses attributing breaches to governance failures.
- Documentation: Maintain auditable records for all procedures; test systems for operationality via internal audits.
Key Dates
December 2023; - Period of breaches investigated
- AMF Enforcement Committee decision date; fines imposed on M Capital Partners, Rudy Secco, and Stéphanie Minissier
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High - This recent (Dec 2025) decision aligns with a pattern of AMF fines on AMCs for AML/CFT, procedural, and operational failures (e.g., €200k on Eres Gestion in 2023 for rebates/investments; warnings/fines on Inter Gestion REIM in 2024 for AML). It matters due to director liability, escalating fines (up to €200k+), and AMF's educational role in clarifying regulations, risking similar actions for non-compliant firms in 2026 amid AIFMD 2.0 focus.

The AMF Enforcement Committee fined portfolio asset management company M Capital Partners €200,000 and its managers Rudy Secco (€70,000) and Stéphanie Minissier (€35,000) on 31 December 2025 for multiple breaches of professional obligations from August 2019 to December 2023, including unauthorized investment services as a tied agent, non-operational investment allocation processes, deficient conflict-of-interest management, and inadequate AML/CFT systems. This decision underscores AMF's strict enforcement against operational failures in asset management, particularly for firms balancing portfolio management with tied agent roles, emphasizing personal accountability for managers. Compliance teams must review this for gaps in procedures, as it highlights how imprecise processes and poor traceability lead to substantial sanctions.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement decision, not a new regulation, but it reinforces existing AMF requirements under French Monetary and Financial Code (e.g., Article L. 214-24-1) for asset managers:
- Asset management companies (sociétés de gestion) are restricted to specific investment services; providing placement of financial instruments without firm commitment (as a tied agent) circumvents...
- Investment systems must be operational with precise allocation rules between funds; lack of traceability in verifications violates due diligence obligations.
- Firms must maintain effective conflict-of-interest identification, prevention, and management processes.
- AML/CFT systems require operational due diligence, including adequate client and asset verification; deficiencies here trigger sanctions.
These align with prior AMF positions but clarify enforcement...
Suggested Considerations
- Audit investment services scope to ensure no unauthorized placement activities, especially if acting as tied agents; cease and remediate any circumventions.
- Enhance investment allocation processes with precise rules, full traceability of verifications, and demonstrable operationality.
- Strengthen conflict-of-interest frameworks with identification, prevention, and management protocols, including documentation.
- Overhaul AML/CFT systems for effective due diligence on clients, assets, and risks; conduct staff training and test operationality.
- Review manager accountability: responsible managers should self-assess oversight of compliance functions.
Key Dates
December 2023; - Period of breaches investigated, covering unauthorized services, investment process failures, conflicts, and AML/CFT deficiencies
- AMF Enforcement Committee decision date; fines imposed on M Capital Partners, Rudy Secco, and Stéphanie Minissier

Sanctions & settlements professional obligations Investment advice Other professionals Journalists The AMF Enforcement Committee fines a financial investment advisor for breaches of its professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee fined financial investment advisor Capexis €120,000 on 15 February 2023 for breaches including receiving prohibited payments from client loan repayments and failing to disclose commissions from SCPI usufruct subscriptions, with the Conseil d'Etat later increasing the fine to €150,000 on 3 March 2025. This enforcement action underscores AMF's strict oversight of **financial investment advisors (Conseillers en Investissements Financiers - CIFs)** on professional obligations like payment restrictions and transparency. It matters for compliance as it highlights personal liability risks and the educational role of such decisions in clarifying regulations.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement decision, not a new regulation, but it reinforces existing requirements under French financial regulations for CIFs:
- Prohibition on non-remunerative payments: CIFs cannot receive payments beyond fees for advisory services, such as loan repayments from clients.
- Commission disclosure: CIFs must inform clients of the nature, amount, or calculation method of any commissions received in connection with investment advice, e.g., from SCPI usufruct arrangements.
- No aggravating factor for incomplete information on unauthorized marketing absent specific provisions, but core duty to ensure authorized products and act in clients' best interests remains paramount...
Suggested Considerations
- Review payment structures: Audit all client interactions for prohibited receipts (e.g., loan repayments, indirect commissions); ensure only advisory fees are collected.
- Enhance disclosure policies: Implement mandatory client notifications on commissions, including SCPI or similar structures, with documented evidence.
- Conduct gap analysis: Assess compliance with best interests duty, conflict identification, and product authorization; maintain registers and procedures.
- Training and monitoring: Train staff on CIF obligations; monitor for similar breaches in fund marketing or client lending.
- Prepare for inspections: Ensure diligence in cooperating with AMF inspectors, as non-cooperation can lead to sanctions.
Key Dates
- AMF Enforcement Committee decision imposing €120,000 fine on Capexis
- Conseil d'Etat judgment increasing fine to €150,000, overturning some findings, and ordering publication on AMF website
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High - This matters due to escalating fines (e.g., €120k to €150k on appeal), permanent/temporary bans in parallel cases, and director liability up to €2m. Recent 2024-2025 enforcements signal AMF's intensified focus on CIF misconduct amid fund scandals, risking reputational damage and operational bans for non-compliant firms. Immediate policy reviews are essential to avoid similar outcomes.

Innovation The AMF publishes its proposals for an open finance framework
The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), France's financial markets authority, has published proposals for an **open finance framework** via a public consultation, extending open banking principles to broader financial data sharing for enhanced innovation and competition. This matters for compliance professionals as it signals upcoming regulatory requirements for secure data access, APIs, and customer consent mechanisms, aligning with EU trends toward open finance while prioritizing consumer protection and market resilience. Firms must engage early to shape the final rules and prepare systems for compliance.
What Changed
- The publication outlines AMF's proposals for an open finance framework, building on open banking (e.g., PSD2) to include investments, insurance, and asset management data. Key elements include:
- Mandatory API-based data sharing for account information and payment initiation, extended to non-banking products like securities and insurance.
- Enhanced customer consent and control mechanisms, with granular permissions, revocation rights, and strong authentication.
- Security and liability standards aligned with DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act), including incident reporting and resilience testing.
- Governance structure with a centralized standards body, similar to open banking hubs in the UK or EU.
Suggested Considerations
- Review and respond to consultation: Submit feedback on proposals via AMF portal (https://www.amf-france.org/en/news-publications/news/amf-publishes-its-proposals-open-finance-framework) to influence final rules.
- Conduct gap analysis: Assess current APIs, data sharing capabilities, consent processes against proposed standards; integrate DORA compliance.
- Update policies: Revise customer onboarding, data protection (GDPR alignment), and TPP accreditation processes.
- Engage stakeholders: Participate in AMF's asset management tokenization consultation and AI use cases study for synergies.
- Test systems: Pilot secure APIs for investment/insurance data sharing; prepare for cybersecurity inspections.
Key Dates
- Expected finalization of AMF AI roadmap and tokenization consultation, influencing open finance APIs
- AMF publishes 2026 priorities, including open finance as part of innovation framework
- End of MiCA transitional period, relevant for crypto/open finance intersections
- Public consultation on open finance proposals; firms should check AMF site for exact submission deadline (typically 1-3 months post-publication)
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High – As a consultation, immediate engagement is critical to shape rules, but full implementation may not hit until 2027+. It matters due to alignment with AMF's 2026 priorities on innovation (AI, tokenization, MiCA) and resilience (DORA, cybersecurity), risking fines or supervisory actions for non-prepared firms amid EU harmonization push. Early movers gain competitive edge in data-driven services.

AMF activity AMF Chair: Proposal to appoint Marie-Anne Barbat-Layani
This AMF publication announces a proposal to appoint Marie-Anne Barbat-Layani as Chair of the AMF, France's financial markets authority responsible for investor protection, market supervision, and regulatory enforcement. It matters for compliance professionals because leadership changes at key regulators like the AMF can signal shifts in enforcement priorities, supervisory focus, or policy directions affecting investment firms, asset managers, and market participants across the EU. While not imposing immediate rules, it warrants monitoring for potential impacts on ongoing consultations and governance expectations.
What Changed
No specific regulatory changes or new requirements are outlined in this publication, as it solely concerns a leadership appointment proposal rather than substantive rule amendments. The AMF's standard process for such proposals involves board review and government ratification, but no alterations to the General Regulation, policies, or compliance obligations are proposed here.
Suggested Considerations
- binding appointment proposal without compliance obligations. Recommended steps include:
- Monitor AMF website (https://www.amf-france.org) for ratification confirmation and any inaugural statements on priorities.
- Review existing AMF relationships and prepare for potential shifts in supervisory engagement.
- Update internal governance logs noting key regulator personnel changes.
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Low – This is a procedural leadership announcement with no immediate regulatory or operational impacts. It matters for long-term strategic planning, as the new Chair could influence AMF's approach to MiFID II implementation, sustainability integration, or enforcement, but firms face no urgent adjustments today.

Investment services Savings protection Europe & international Retail investors Investment services providers The AMF informs the public of the partial suspension by the CySEC of VPR Safe Financial Group Limited’s authorisation to operate in France
The AMF publication notifies the public of CySEC's August 3, 2022, decision to partially suspend VPR Safe Financial Group Limited's (operating as Alvexo) authorization to provide investment services in France, prompted by AMF findings of regulatory violations including misleading marketing, inadequate client suitability assessments, and poor tied agent oversight. This cross-border enforcement highlights escalating EU supervisory cooperation under MiFID II, serving as a warning for firms using tied agents in France. It matters for compliance as it underscores risks of AMF referrals leading to home-state suspensions, with subsequent developments including suspension revocation and full license withdrawal by September 2025.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement action rather than new rules, imposing specific prohibitions on VPR Safe Financial Group Limited in France:
- Ban on accepting new French clients or entering business relationships with them.
- Prohibition on advertising or marketing investment services to current or potential French clients, directly or via tied agent France Safe Media.
- Restriction on receiving new deposits from existing French clients, except to cover initial margins for open positions upon explicit client request.
These stem from suspected breaches of Cyprus'...
Suggested Considerations
- For VPR/Alvexo (during suspension): Cease all new client onboarding, advertising, and general deposits in France; complete pending transactions and return client funds/instruments; remediate tied agent oversight, marketing compliance, and suitability processes within two months.
- Client protection: Existing French clients retain rights to close positions and withdraw funds without hindrance.
Key Dates
- Two-month deadline for VPR to remediate compliance issues (from suspension date)
- CySEC issues partial suspension decision based on AMF findings, effective immediately for French operations
- CySEC fully withdraws VPR's CIF authorization pursuant to the firm's renunciation
- CySEC publicly announces license withdrawal
August 22, 2022 (exact date unspecified); - CySEC revokes partial suspension after demonstrated compliance
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Low (as of January 2026). The 2022 suspension is historical, resolved via revocation and superseded by full license withdrawal in 2025, posing no ongoing restrictions. It matters as a precedent for AMF-CySEC coordination on retail misconduct (e.g., CFD marketing, tied agents), urging firms to prioritize MiFID II conduct rules to avoid similar escalations; prior €100,000 CySEC fine in 2021 adds pattern risk for repeat offenders.

Asset management Savings protection Journalists The AMF is conducting a consultation on the end of life of private equity funds intended for retail investors
The AMF is conducting a consultation on regulatory reforms governing the end-of-life management of retail private equity funds (FCPRs, FCPIs, and FIPs), with the objective of improving compliance with liquidation deadlines and enhancing investor protection through better information disclosure and operational safeguards. This initiative addresses systemic issues where fund managers have historically failed to respect contractual lifespan commitments, creating liquidity risks and investor communication failures.
What Changed
The AMF has amended its General Regulation and policy framework to implement several substantive requirements:
Liquidation Compliance & Warnings
A new Article 422-120-14-1 requires management companies to include a warning in promotional materials if, over the ten years preceding fund authorization, the company failed to respect the lifespan of at least 50% of retail or professional private equity funds under its management.
Suggested Considerations
- *For All Retail Private Equity Fund Managers:
- *Audit historical compliance with fund lifespan commitments over the preceding ten years to determine if warning requirements under Article 422-120-14-1 apply
- *Update promotional materials to include required warnings if materiality thresholds are met (managing/having managed at least one other retail PE fund and at least three funds that reached end-of-life)
- *Implement bank details collection for all funds established after December 5, 2024, incorporating requirements into subscription forms per Instruction DOC-2011-22
- *Establish prior notification procedures for substantial changes to fund structure, investment strategy, or operations, with one-month advance notice to the AMF
Key Dates
- Revised ELTIF Regulation came into application
- Enactment of Attractiveness Law No. 2024-537 (establishing 15-year maximum lock-up period)
- AMF decision approving amendments to General Regulation
- Effective date for new Article 422-120-16 (bank details collection requirement for newly established funds)
- Publication in Official Journal of the French Republic

Sanctions & settlements Compliance Journalists Investment services providers The AMF Enforcement Committee fines a depositary for breaches of its professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee fined RBC Investor Services Bank France SA (RBC ISBF) €500,000 plus a warning on 20 July 2022 (published 08 January 2026) for breaches as a UCITS and AIF depositary, including 25 confirmed failures in tiered intervention procedures for investment ratio overruns and deficient monitoring of 14 questionable cash flows over 45 months. This decision underscores AMF's strict enforcement of depositary duties under French regulations implementing UCITS/AIFMD, emphasizing robust controls for ratio compliance, cash flow verification, and documentation. It matters for compliance teams as it provides precedent on what constitutes "irregular and deficient" oversight, potentially increasing scrutiny and fines for similar lapses in depositary functions.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement decision, not a new regulation, but it clarifies and reinforces existing depositary obligations under French UCITS/AIFMD rules (e.g., Articles L. 214-7 et seq.
- Ratio monitoring and intervention: Depositaries must implement tiered procedures for investment/asset composition ratio breaches (e.g., diversification limits); 25 of 28 alleged anomalies were upheld...
- Cash flow oversight: Must identify significant/inconsistent flows, verify instructions against laws, fund rules, prospectuses, and ensure ownership thresholds (e.g., 5% capital holding for advances);...
Suggested Considerations
- Review depositary controls: Audit tiered intervention procedures for ratio overruns; ensure unique tracking (even if not upheld here) and redundancy elimination in reporting.
- Enhance cash flow monitoring: For all inflows/outflows, collect "precise and convincing" docs (e.g., ownership proofs for advances >5% capital); flag inconsistencies with fund docs/prospectus.
- Conduct gap analysis: Sample historical flows (e.g., 45-month lookbacks) across AIFs/UCITS; test against AMF objections standards from this and similar cases (e.g., CACEIS).
- Update policies/procedures: Document controls for legality checks on instructions; train staff on evidentiary thresholds to avoid "deficient monitoring" findings.
- Appeal if applicable: Lodge appeal against decision (no deadline specified).
Key Dates
- AMF Enforcement Committee decision date imposing €500,000 fine and warning on RBC ISBF
- Public news release/publication date of the decision
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Medium – Recent publication (08 January 2026) signals ongoing AMF focus on depositary failings amid H2O-related probes, but stems from 2022 events with no immediate deadlines. Matters because it sets precedents for fine quantum (€500k) on procedural lapses, reinforces liability for cash/ratio controls, and aligns with pattern of multi-million fines (e.g., CACEIS €3.5m), urging preemptive audits to mitigate enforcement risk.

Institutional AMF activity Appointment Journalists Appointments to the Legal Affairs Directorate and Enforcement Assistance Directorate of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers
This AMF publication announces internal appointments to its **Legal Affairs Directorate** and **Enforcement Assistance Directorate**, signaling potential enhancements in legal oversight and enforcement capabilities within France's financial markets regulator. Compliance professionals should note this as it may indicate a renewed focus on rigorous enforcement of market rules, though it imposes no direct regulatory changes on firms.
What Changed
There are no regulatory changes, new requirements, or policy updates in this announcement. It solely details personnel appointments within AMF's internal structure, specifically leadership roles in directorates handling legal affairs (e.g., Maxence Delorme as head of Legal Affairs Directorate) and enforcement assistance (e.g., Amélie du Passage as head of Instruction and Enforcement Assistance Directorate). These directorates support AMF's core functions like investigations, inspections, and sanction proceedings, but the publication does not alter any rules applicable to regulated entities.
Suggested Considerations
- *No specific actions are required for regulated firms, as this does not introduce obligations. Recommended monitoring steps for proactive compliance:
- Review ongoing AMF interactions (e.g., inspections) for potential shifts in approach under new directorate leadership.
- Update internal AMF contact lists with confirmed governance details from https://www.amf-france.org/en/amf/our-organisation/our-governance.
- Track AMF news releases for enforcement trends at https://www.amf-france.org/en/news-publications/news-releases/amf-news-releases.
Key Dates
- Appointment of Sébastien Raspiller as AMF Secretary General
- Ministerial order partially renewing AMF Enforcement Committee
- Publication of Enforcement Committee appointments
- Composition published in Official Journal
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Low. This matters peripherally for firms anticipating AMF enforcement, as new leaders in Legal Affairs and Enforcement Assistance could signal stricter scrutiny or faster processing of cases, similar to past leadership transitions (e.g., Secretary General appointment in 2023). However, absent policy shifts, it does not demand immediate compliance adjustments; monitor for signals in AMF's 2026 priorities announced 14 January 2026.

The AMF Enforcement Committee fined financial investment advisor Séquence 13 and its director Jean-Louis Lehmann €15,000 each and imposed a five-year ban from acting as financial investment advisors in its decision of 19 December 2023, due to failures in client disclosures, justifying remuneration, operating within regulatory limits, and managing conflicts of interest. This enforcement action underscores the AMF's strict enforcement of professional obligations for investment advisors, with personal liability for managers, serving as a deterrent against conduct breaches that harm client interests. Compliance teams should note this as part of a pattern of similar sanctions, emphasizing robust governance and documentation.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement decision, not a new regulation, but it reinforces core professional obligations under AMF rules for financial investment advisors (Conseillers en Investissements Financiers,...
- Client information on remuneration: Advisors must disclose any remuneration received for advice and justify service improvements relative to that pay.
- Regulatory scope compliance: Firms must operate strictly within authorized activities, avoiding unauthorized product recommendations.
- Conflict of interest management: Identify and mitigate conflicts to ensure client-best-interest advice.
- Manager accountability: Breaches by the firm are attributable to its director, with personal sanctions possible.
These align with ongoing AMF expectations for honest, fair, professional conduct, as...
Suggested Considerations
- Review and enhance policies: Update procedures for remuneration disclosure, conflict identification/mitigation, and scope-of-activity limits; ensure all advice justifies value against fees.
- Training programs: Mandate annual training for directors/managers on professional obligations, documentation, and inspection cooperation, as deficiencies led to personal liability.
- Client file audits: Conduct gap analysis on existing client files for disclosure completeness, product suitability, and conflict records; remediate as needed.
- Governance checks: Directors must verify firm compliance, implementing detection systems for misconduct (e.g., undocumented investments).
- Mock inspections: Prepare for AMF inspections by simulating reviews, focusing on diligence and honesty.
Key Dates
- AMF Enforcement Committee decision issued, imposing fines and five-year bans on Séquence 13 and Jean-Louis Lehmann
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High - This decision highlights escalating AMF scrutiny on CIFs, with fines, bans, and personal accountability in multiple recent cases (2022-2025), signaling increased inspection risk and potential for director bans. It matters because failures in basic conduct rules lead to severe, long-term sanctions, disrupting operations and reputations; firms must prioritize immediate policy fortification amid AMF's 2026 priorities for resilient markets.

Sanctions & settlements Investment advice Other professionals Executive & other private individuals Investment services providers The AMF Enforcement Committee fines a financial investment advisor and its manager for breaches of their professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee fined a financial investment advisor (FIA) firm and its manager for multiple breaches of professional obligations, including failure to provide mandatory documents, inadequate risk disclosure, poor KYC practices, misleading information, unauthorized placing activities, and improper third-party marketing mandates. This enforcement action underscores the AMF's strict scrutiny of FIAs, emphasizing due care, conflict management, and adherence to status limits, with fines and bans serving as deterrents. Compliance teams should review it for lessons on documentation, client suitability, and outsourcing controls to avoid similar sanctions.
What Changed
- This is an enforcement decision, not a regulatory change, but it reinforces and clarifies existing FIA obligations under French regulations (e.g., AMF General Regulation).
- Mandatory delivery of initial contact documents, engagement letters, and written reports to clients.
- Clear specification of remuneration terms and comprehensive risk information for recommended products.
- Thorough KYC to ensure suitability of advice.
- Prohibition on misleading information, such as incorrect guarantor details or omission of issuer financial weaknesses.
Suggested Considerations
- Conduct Documentation Audit: Verify all client interactions include mandatory forms (e.g., initial contact, engagement letter, suitability reports) and explicit risk/remuneration disclosures.
- Enhance KYC and Suitability Processes: Implement robust know-your-customer checks and product authorization verification before recommendations, especially for non-EU funds or unlisted securities.
- Strengthen Conflicts Framework: Maintain a conflicts register, identify/mitigate incentives from issuers, and document procedures.
- Review Activity Scope: Confirm no unauthorized placing or marketing beyond FIA status; limit third-party mandates to natural persons and accredited products.
- Training and Monitoring: Train managers on personal liability; perform gap analysis against AMF decisions and update policies accordingly.

AMF Enforcement Committee decision fining Carat GP and directors €2.5 million total, with permanent/10-year bans (French release: 6 November 2025)
Compliance Impact
Urgency: Medium. This matters as part of a pattern of escalating AMF enforcement against FIAs (fines up to €2.5M, lifetime bans in recent cases), signaling heightened focus on investor protection and governance amid complex products. Firms should prioritize audits now to preempt inspections, but no immediate deadlines apply. Non-compliance risks personal sanctions on executives, reputational damage, and business bans, particularly for smaller advisory firms.

Sanctions & settlements Journalists The AMF Enforcement Committee fines a financial investment advisor and its manager for breaches of their professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee imposed significant sanctions on DCT (formerly Didier Maurin Finance) and its manager Didier Maurin for recommending unauthorized alternative investment funds to clients and obstructing regulatory investigations. This case exemplifies critical compliance failures in product authorization verification and client suitability assessment, with enforcement upheld by France's highest administrative court in September 2024.
What Changed
- This enforcement action clarifies several regulatory obligations for financial investment advisors:
- Product Authorization Verification: Financial advisors must verify that recommended investment products are authorized for marketing in France before advising clients, regardless of the product's...
- Client Interest Prioritization: Recommending unauthorized products is inherently contrary to client interests and constitutes a breach of the duty to act with competence, care, and diligence.
- Cooperation with Regulators: Advisors must provide documents and information requested during regulatory investigations; refusal constitutes a separate breach of diligence and loyalty obligations.
Suggested Considerations
- *Immediate compliance measures for financial investment advisors:
- *Product Authorization Audit: Conduct comprehensive review of all recommended products to confirm authorization for marketing in France; document authorization status for each product in client files.
- *Pre-Recommendation Due Diligence: Establish mandatory procedures requiring verification of product authorization before any client recommendation; implement checklist systems for compliance documentation.
- *Client Suitability Documentation: Maintain written suitability reports for all recommendations, including product features, risks, and alignment with client profiles and objectives.
- *Regulatory Cooperation Protocol: Establish procedures ensuring prompt, complete responses to AMF information requests; designate compliance officer responsible for regulatory liaison.
Key Dates
- AMF Enforcement Committee issued original decision imposing five-year ban and fines
- Conseil d'État suspended enforcement of fines pending appeal
- Conseil d'État dismissed appeal, upholding all sanctions and ordering payment of €1,500 each to AMF

Sanctions & settlements Journalists The AMF to call for an amendment of the law on obstructing investigations and inspections
The AMF announced its intention to propose legislative amendments to the French Monetary and Financial Code following a January 28, 2022 Constitutional Council decision that found dual prosecution for obstructing AMF investigations and inspections unconstitutional. The amendment aims to eliminate the possibility of simultaneous administrative and criminal penalties for the same obstruction conduct, while preserving the AMF's enforcement authority.
What Changed
- The primary regulatory change addresses a constitutional violation regarding dual prosecution under the ne bis in idem principle:
- Current problem: The Monetary and Financial Code previously allowed both administrative sanctions by the AMF Enforcement Committee and criminal prosecution for identical obstruction conduct,...
- Proposed solution: Legislative amendments will eliminate the possibility of dual prosecution while maintaining the AMF's ability to sanction obstruction of investigations and inspections.
- Scope of obstruction conduct: The law covers refusal to allow access to documents, provide copies, communicate information, respond to summons, or grant access to professional premises during AMF...
Suggested Considerations
- *For compliance professionals and regulated entities:
- *Review cooperation policies: Ensure internal procedures for responding to AMF investigation and inspection requests comply with current legal requirements and anticipated amendments.
- *Monitor legislative developments: Track publication of proposed amendments in the French legislative process to understand final scope of changes.
- *Counsel on cooperation: Advise business units that obstruction remains sanctionable; the amendment eliminates dual penalties, not the underlying obligation to cooperate.
- *Document compliance: Maintain records demonstrating good-faith cooperation with AMF requests to support defense against obstruction allegations.
Key Dates
- Constitutional Council decision declaring dual prosecution unconstitutional
- Amendments appear to be in legislative proposal stage; no effective date yet announced
- AMF committed to proposing amendments "as soon as possible"

Europe & international Sustainable Finance Asset management The AMF invites providers, users and rated entities to respond to ESMA's Call for evidence on the ESG rating market in Europe
The AMF is urging French stakeholders—ESG rating providers, users, and rated entities—to respond to ESMA's 2022 Call for Evidence on the EU ESG rating market to inform European Commission efforts on improving transparency and reliability. This matters as it contributes to the foundational data driving the ESG Ratings Regulation (EU 2024/3005), which imposes authorization, disclosure, and conflict-of-interest rules on providers, affecting sustainable finance compliance across the EU. With the regulation applying from 2 July 2026, early engagement helps shape final rules amid ongoing ESMA consultations on technical standards.
What Changed
This AMF notice itself introduces no new regulatory changes; it promotes responses to ESMA's 2022 Call for Evidence, which gathered market insights to support the European Commission's July 2021 sustainable finance strategy. However, it highlights the push for a European framework on ESG ratings, including transparency on methodologies, conflict-of-interest management, internal controls, and dialogue with rated companies—elements now codified in the ESG Ratings Regulation effective 2 January 2025 (application from 2 July 2026).
Suggested Considerations
- For Users and Rated Entities: Although the 2022 Call for Evidence is closed, monitor ESMA's ongoing RTS consultations (closed 20 June 2025) and Commission feedback; assess internal ESG data reliance for SFDR/Taxonomy alignment and update policies for new disclosure requirements.
- All Affected Firms: Map ESG rating dependencies in investment processes, train compliance teams on upcoming rules, and engage in industry feedback to influence final RTS adoption expected post-Q4 2025.
- AMF Stakeholders: Although dated, the notice encouraged French market input; now pivot to compliance readiness for 2026 application.
Compliance Impact
Urgency: High – The 2022 Call for Evidence is historical, but it feeds into the ESG Ratings Regulation now in force (since 2 January 2025), with application looming on 2 July 2026—less than 6 months away as of January 2026. Firms face authorization risks, operational overhauls for conflicts/disclosures, and potential market disruptions if unprepared; non-compliance could halt EU operations or trigger greenwashing probes under SFDR, amplifying sustainable finance scrutiny.

Asset management The AMF has postponed the effective date of the authorisation withdrawal of the asset management company Nestadio Capital
The Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) postponed the effective date of the authorization withdrawal for Nestadio Capital, a portfolio asset management company, to allow time for fund transfers or liquidation following repeated non-compliance with authorization terms. This matters for compliance professionals as it illustrates AMF's enforcement approach to regulatory breaches in asset management, emphasizing orderly wind-downs to protect investors while signaling risks of judicial intervention if issues persist. The case culminated in judicial liquidation by 2022, highlighting long-term consequences for non-compliant firms.
What Changed
- - Initial authorization withdrawal decided on 17 December 2019 due to Nestadio Capital's failure to comply with authorization terms, including capital requirements, with original effective date at...
- Multiple postponements: 9 June 2020 and 8 December 2020 extended to 30 June 2021; 8 June 2021 further extended to 31 December 2021 to facilitate fund sales and liquidation.
- 7 December 2021 postponement tied withdrawal effect to full fund liquidation or judicial liquidation closure, triggered by commercial court judgment on 17 December 2021 opening judicial liquidation...
- AMF appointed an administrator (Nathalie Baudry) initially, later a provisional administrator, and requested court appointment of PMR Partners as fund liquidator on 17 February 2022.
- Nestadio Capital's appeal to Conseil d'Etat rejected on 4 October 2021.
No new broad regulatory requirements; this is a firm-specific enforcement action under Article L.
Suggested Considerations
- For Nestadio Capital (historical): Cease non-essential activities under administrator control; complete fund transfers/liquidation; comply with court-appointed liquidator.
- For investors: Monitor liquidator updates at https://www.pmrpartners.com/fonds-nestadio/ and AMF communications; pursue claims via judicial process if needed.
- For industry peers: No immediate actions, but review internal compliance on authorization terms (e.g., capital adequacy); prepare contingency plans for potential AMF interventions like administrator appointments.
- AMF referrals to courts underscore need for firms to self-report issues early to avoid escalation.
Key Dates
- AMF Board decides authorization withdrawal
& **8 December 2020** - Postponements to **30 June 2021**
- Original latest effective date for withdrawal (or fund transfer/liquidation)
- Postponement to **31 December 2021** for fund sales/liquidation
- Conseil d'Etat rejects Nestadio's appeal
Compliance Impact
Urgency: low - This is a resolved 2019-2022 enforcement case with no ongoing deadlines or new rules as of 2026; Nestadio is in judicial liquidation. It matters as a precedent for AMF's phased withdrawal process, protecting investors via extensions and liquidators, but warns asset managers of severe outcomes for breaches like capital shortfalls—review governance and capital monitoring to mitigate similar risks.
