Guidance · AMF
The French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) issued Instruction DOC-2007-02 to define the scope of investment advice and order execution services and to explicitly list services excluded from this classification, such as portfolio valuation and financial instrument custody. The document was updated to align with the implementation of MiFID II, restricting its application exclusively to collective management companies. It serves as a regulatory doctrine clarifying the boundaries of regulated investment services under the General Regulation.
