One onboarding. EEA-wide distribution. Regulatory infrastructure for private markets.

For placement agents, fund managers, and capital introducers distributing alternative investments across the EEA. Private debt, private equity, venture capital, pre-IPO — under one regulated perimeter, one onboarding, one compliance engine.

What this is

EEA-wide distribution of alternatives, under German securities supervision.

Concedus provides licensed infrastructure for distributing alternative investment products — private debt, private equity, venture capital, pre-IPO allocations — to professional and institutional investors across the EEA. Placement agents, fund managers, and capital introducers plug into Concedus once and gain access to markets that would otherwise require individual MiFID licenses, local entities, or bilateral distribution agreements. No local setups, no country-by-country regulatory negotiation, no custody or administration of assets — Concedus handles the cross-border compliance; you handle the fund relationship.

Common questions

Private markets distribution — the usual questions

Do I need my own MiFID or AIFMD license to distribute through Concedus?
No. Concedus holds the MiFID II license; you operate as a tied agent under our Haftungsdach. For AIF distribution, Concedus handles pre-marketing notifications and NPPR registrations as needed in the target jurisdictions.
Can Concedus distribute non-EU funds (Delaware, Cayman)?
Yes. This is one of the most common use cases. Non-EU AIFs are distributed under the NPPR framework in each EEA host state where the regime permits, supplemented by pre-marketing under § 306b KAGB where applicable.
Which investor categories can we target?
Professional and institutional investors across the EEA. Retail distribution of alternatives is possible in specific product categories (e.g., ELTIF 2.0 wrappers) but is assessed case-by-case.
Does Concedus hold or administer fund assets?
No. Concedus handles regulated distribution only — pre-marketing, investor classification, subscription intake, KYC, and compliance. Custody and fund administration remain with the fund's depositary and administrator.
How is the commercial model structured?
A combination of a fixed regulatory retainer plus a distribution fee calculated as a percentage of placed commitments. Typical retainers start at €100k annually for enterprise engagements; distribution fees are scoped per fund. No hidden pass-through margins.
Can we continue using our existing data room, CRM, and investor onboarding UX?
Yes. Concedus integrates via API — you keep the investor-facing UX, Concedus handles the regulated steps behind it. For firms without an existing stack, we can provide a white-label investor workflow.
