Shares

Shares is authorized as an investment services provider by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) and the French Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR). Under EU passporting rules, that French license allows Shares to offer its investment-technology services in other European Economic Area countries. The firm states that client funds and assets are held with established banking partners and kept separate from Shares’ corporate accounts.

Shares serves both segments. Retail investors can access a consumer mobile app for direct equity and ETF investing. Independent wealth managers and advisors can use Shares Pro, a dedicated wealth-management platform. For banks, asset managers and other financial institutions, Shares provides white-labeled and API-integrated versions of its investing infrastructure for savings, pensions and retail-investment programs.

The firm’s disclosures center on equities and ETFs, with functionality that includes fractional share trading. Shares does not publicly detail its full asset-class catalog, but its retail app and enterprise tools are described as supporting diversified portfolio construction. The firm has not disclosed offering fixed-income, derivatives, or alternative assets natively on its core platform.

Shares has not publicly identified a CEO, CIO, or other named principal on its website or in available press coverage. The firm operates as a technology provider rather than a discretionary asset manager, so investment decisions typically rest with the end client — whether a retail user, an advisor using Shares Pro, or an institutional partner deploying the white-label solution.

Neither. Shares is an investment-technology company regulated in France. It provides trading and portfolio-management software, not proprietary fund management or family-office services. Its license and operational disclosures frame it as a B2B2C infrastructure provider for the European wealth and banking industries.
