Shares
Shares provides investing infrastructure to financial institutions and individuals across the European Economic Area. Founded in Paris and regulated by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), the firm holds an investment-services-provider license from the French Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) and passports into other EEA countries. The business supplies three principal interfaces: a consumer mobile app for retail investors, a wealth-management platform called Shares Pro for independent advisors and private wealth managers, and fully white-labeled API integrations for banks, asset managers, and wealth-tech firms. The firm’s technology aims to compress the distance between legacy banking systems and modern investor expectations. Its offering spans fractional equity trading, ETF access, and modular portfolio-management tools, all wrapped in compliance architecture that segregates client assets from the corporate entity. Shares states that customer cash and securities are held with established banking partners and kept in separate accounts, so assets remain the legal property of the end client. On the enterprise side, Shares delivers bespoke implementations for wealth-management workflows, digital-savings products, and pension wrappers, with partners including traditional banks and independent financial advisors seeking scalable digital-investment rails. The company has not publicly disclosed its total clients, assets under administration, or revenue. Public coverage remains thin, consisting mainly of the firm’s own product announcements and partner-described pilots across Europe. The organization’s FAQ confirms that it charges fees for its app and Pro tiers, with schedules available in its website terms and conditions. Shares has not disclosed a C-suite or named any founding principals on its public-facing website. The only structural differentiator discernible from available materials is its cross-segment architecture: a single AMF-regulated entity supporting direct-to-consumer, independent-advisor, and wholesale white-label clients under one licensing umbrella. That licensing structure lets it serve both mass-retail users and institutional buyers without operating separate legal vehicles for each channel.

Frequently asked questions
How is Shares regulated and where can it operate?
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.
Does Shares offer its technology directly to consumers, or only to financial institutions?
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.
What investment products are available through Shares’ platform?
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.
Who runs investment decisions at Shares?
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.
Is Shares structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
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.
