On Oct. 20, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to facilitate consultation, cooperation, and information-sharing in the supervision of investment advisers, investment companies, and investment service providers operating in the U.S. and France. The MOU specifically facilitates the SEC's registration and supervision of AMF-supervised asset management companies seeking to operate as investment advisers in the United States, and the SEC will process new and pending registration applications from such companies in light of this arrangement. SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins described the MOU as reflecting a spirit of cooperation in securities regulation, while AMF Chair Marie-Anne Barbat-Layani stated it marks a further step in strengthening cooperation between the two authorities, reflecting a shared commitment to capital markets development, financial system integrity and resilience, and investor protection.
