A portfolio management company may be struck off the list of approved portfolio management companies as a sanction by the Autorité des marchés financiers.
Deregistration entails the liquidation of the legal entity if it has its registered office in France. In the case of branches of companies having their registered office outside the European Economic Area, this deregistration entails the liquidation of the branch’s balance sheet and off-balance sheet items.
Any company that has been deregistered remains subject to the supervision of the Autorité des marchés financiers until the liquidation is completed. It may only carry out transactions that are strictly necessary to protect the interests of its clients and the shareholders and unit-holders of collective investment schemes. It may only refer to its status as a portfolio management company by specifying that it has been deregistered.
