Compliance Officer

Company Description

On January 31, 2025, IQ-EQ acquired the AGAMA Group, a leading independent player specializing in compliance and regulatory consulting, based in France and Luxembourg.

AGAMA IQ-EQ offers strategic support in regulatory compliance, internal control, and operational management to asset managers of all asset classes and savings product distributors. This acquisition marks a strategic step for IQ-EQ by establishing a strong presence in regulatory compliance in France and Luxembourg. It also strengthens its ambition to become a leader in regulatory compliance in continental Europe, like its positioning in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Asia.

AGAMA IQ-EQ has become an essential reference in France for the compliance of asset managers and distributors, benefiting from strong market recognition and reputation. In Luxembourg, AGAMA's rapid growth will complement and strengthen existing services, particularly in the roles of AML Compliance Officer (RC) and independent director functions.

IQ-EQ sees significant synergy potential between AGAMA's teams and its operations in France and Luxembourg, due to the strong presence of Private Equity and Real Estate in AGAMA's client portfolio.

AGAMA regularly assists its clients in the following areas:

• Outsourcing of RCCI or RCSI functions
• Regulatory assistance: implementation of internal control and risk control systems, assistance to RCCI, preparation of impact notes, compliance audits, training, regulatory monitoring
• Support for approval: assistance with the approval of new management companies, investment firms
• Assistance with the registration of CGP with professional associations and ORIAS
• Assistance with the approval of French or Luxembourg investment funds with the authorities (UCITS, AIF, etc.)

AGAMA's service offering complements IQ-EQ's range of solutions for funds and asset managers operating in France and Luxembourg, including:

• Fund and corporate administration
• Outsourced financial management
• Risk assessment and management
• Third-party AIFM services

BELT Solutions, AGAMA's RegTech solution, is also becoming a reference tool for asset managers in France. Its development will continue by strengthening its market penetration in France and extending its offering to Luxembourg and continental Europe. Thanks to this acquisition, IQ-EQ becomes a unique and essential player for asset managers in France.
