Why can't I see the name of the fund (s) until I've invested in the strategy?
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.

Is an ex-baker revolutionizing investment in France?
Guest on the channel Jokariz, Bradley Lafond, founder of Fundora, looks back on an atypical career that led him to rethink private equity investment.
Graduated fromEDHEC, Bradley understood early on that neither traditional finance nor wage employment matched his vision. He then made a radical choice: to resume a CAP baker and start your own bakeries. Their success allows him to invest in several companies... and to discover from within the limits of private equity, a closed universe reserved for a minority.
From this frustration comes a strong conviction: the investment must be more accessible, more transparent and fairer. It is this vision that will give birth to Fundora, a platform for investing in private equity funds starting at €100.
In this video, Bradley shares:
- his life choices against the tide
- his relationship to money and entrepreneurship
- The structural bottlenecks of private equity
- The genesis of Fundora and its mission

What types of funds are available on Fundora?
On Fundora, we select different private equity strategies, each with different risk profiles and investment horizons.
• LBO (Leveraged Buyout) This strategy consists in buying mature and profitable businesses by combining equity and debt. Debt makes it possible to amplify value creation at the time of resale. The LBO is appreciated for its visibility and its application to well-established businesses.
• Growth CapitalHere, the funds invest in companies that are already profitable and growing rapidly. The objective is to accelerate their development (new markets, acquisitions, internationalization), without resorting to debt. Exits generally take place over a period of 3 to 6 years.
• Venture capitalThis strategy targets start-ups with high potential, often in tech, health or climate. The risk is higher, but successes can generate very significant performance multiples.
• Secondary fundsSecondary funds buy back existing fund units, often at a discount. They offer a shorter exit horizon, better visibility on assets and a balanced risk/return profile. At Fundora, these strategies allow you to diversify your private equity investment, starting at €100, in a supervised and transparent manner.
