The Group has been running several strategies in managed accounts for qualified professional investors for over a year with strong track record.
Napoleon AM launched the first ever AMF regulated Bitcoin Fund (Napoleon Bitcoin Fund, a Professional Investment Fund regulated but not approved by nature) offering passive exposure to the performance of Bitcoin via the CME Futures. It is partnering with Iconic Holdings to launch actively sub-managed strategies with Iconic’s Multi-Manager Platform in the near future.

We are proud to include Enigma Securities and its capital markets solution in our rich ecosystem which also includes legal, banking, custody, administration, audit, and compliance.”
“After 18 months of hard work and great track record, we are very proud to be the first asset manager onboarding Iconic’s multi-manager platform. This partnership will enable Napoleon to leverage expertise and deep international network of Iconic and Enigma Securities. We look forward to launching several systematic crypto strategies in the near future and building on our fast growing AUM,” said Stéphane Ifrah, CEO of Napoleon Group.
