1 min read

The AMF published the synthesis of its SPOT controls on October 29, 2026. The report requires firms to enhance transparency and communication with clients regarding real estate investment companies (SCPI).

The AMF relied on its supervisory authority to issue the report, which does not specify a particular article or section.

The findings apply to investment firms and crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) involved in client communications about SCPI.

The AMF and ACPR issued a public warning on October 22, 2026, against unregulated actors offering investments in the forex market and crypto-asset derivatives in France. Firms must ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and avoid engagement with these unregulated entities.

The report emphasizes the need for compliance teams to review the findings and align client communications with the outlined expectations.
