FIDUCIE
The French Trust
The “Queen of the security”
Created and codified in 2007 in France, the Fiducie is a very efficient tool that can be helpful in Special Sits or restructuring situations. It operates a transfer of ownership of the assets (which can be Real Estate, Shares, cash…) to the benefit of the Fiduciaire.
As a consequence the assets do not form part of the estate of the debtor and are therefore sheltered from any insolvency proceedings affecting the debtor, ensuring full recovery of their value to the benefit of creditors.
Fiducie has been and remains a real success in France, with many deals that could not have been saved without it. There are two types of Fiducies:
- “Fiducie sûreté”
- “Fiducie gestion”
Contrary to common belief, Fiducie is not necessarily very expensive and difficult to setup. Independent providers such as Aloe Private Equity took a pragmatic and sensible approach allowing such tool to be more widely used.
