Why are fund names hidden before investing?

It's a question we get very often at Fundora: “Why can't I see the exact name of the fund (s) until I've invested?” ”

The answer is simple: it is a regulatory obligation, supervised by the AMF (Autorité des Marches Financiers).

In France, some private equity funds — in particular FPCI — are legally reserved for institutional or qualified investors with very high investment amounts. When offered to a wider audience, such as individuals, regulations prohibit publicly displaying their names before the investment is validated.

This rule has a clear objective: to protect investors and to avoid confusion or inappropriate marketing of complex financial products.

👉 That doesn't mean you're investing blindly. On the contrary. Before making any decision, you have access to all the essential elements: investment strategy, historical performances, targeted comparable sectors and examples of past investments.

Once your investment has been validated, you can then access all the detailed information: name of the fund, companies in the portfolio, complete reports and performance data.

At Fundora, this operation allows us to strictly comply with regulations while offering you a transparent, supervised and informed investment experience, in exceptional funds accessible from €100.
