IQ-EQ has rebranded two of its French businesses to combine them together.
Peru & Partners and Conseil Expertise & Synthèse (CE&S) have rebranded as IQ-EQ.
The French operation will offer:
- Fund management, including securitisation services;
- Fund administration, valuation and CFO secondment services; and
- Corporate services
Together, the three offerings will create a “one-stop shop for asset managers and investors in France”, the company said.
IQ-EQ’s trust services offering will remain under the Equitis brand due “to its strength and longevity in the market”.
Anne-Marie Costet will be chief executive of IQ-EQ France.
She will be supported by a number of experienced department executives: Sébastien Péru for fund services, Romain Riegert for fund management, Jean-Noël Servans for corporate services, Daniela Kotzeva for the Equitis business, and Sophie Hubert as regional chief commercial officer.
‘Key strategic market’
Mark Pesco, IQ-EQ group chief executive, said: “France is a key strategic market in IQ-EQ’s ambitious global growth plans, as it is one of the most dynamic markets in Europe for alternative investments.
“This rebrand will help consolidate our market position both in France and across continental Europe, while enabling us to accelerate the further development of our French operating platform and nurture a strong company culture that helps IQ-EQ stand out not only as the provider of choice to our growing French client base but also as an employer of choice in the region
“Our French client base is growing at pace and I’m excited to support Anne-Marie and the rest of the team as we take our operations in France to new heights.”
This news comes several weeks after IQ-EQ rebranded its US-based companies.
