Online property investment platform BrickVest has been given the go-ahead to open a new office in France from which it will be able to serve European clients after the UK leaves the European Union.
The four-year-old company said it had received authorisation from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, the French regulator, to run its investment management business from new European headquarters in Nice, with other offices in Paris and Berlin.
The Nice office will become the headquarters for a new company, BrickVest Europe, headed by Remi Antonini, BrickVest’s head of funds.
Emmanuel Lumineau, BrickVest’s chief executive, said in a statement that the company’s licenses in the UK and the EU now put BrickVest “in the best position to offer our clients a comprehensive service, whatever form Brexit takes”.
Lumineau added: “The decision to choose Nice for our new Eurozone head office underlines the French Riviera’s growing reputation as a leading tech hub attracting a pool of international investment and technology professionals with strong connections to the European market.”
