Operating framework

What we do — and what we do not do

Quality starts with the boundary. We document missions, deliverables, and situations where an authorised regulated actor is required.

Our missions (outside CIF)
Structuring & engineering

Scoping, modelling, contractual architecture, scenarios, execution timeline, coordination of experts.

Financing & private markets

Case preparation, security analysis, covenant review, dataroom, coordination with lenders (partners never named publicly).

Strategic advisory

Diagnosis, governance, risks, major decisions, macro/micro arbitrage at a strategic level.

Trusted intermediary

Documentation discipline, stakeholder alignment, governance and traceability.

What we do not execute
Regulated investment advice (CIF)

No personalised investment recommendation under CIF; no CIF-dependent mission.

Discretionary management

No discretionary portfolio management, no order execution or reception/transmission.

Custody / client funds

No client funds, instruments or valuables are received or held.

Regulated distribution

When a specific status is required, we direct to an authorised actor.

Interpretation

This boundary is deliberate: it protects clients and keeps execution aligned with the right authorised counterparties.

Prerequisites & evidence

An “audit-ready” approach

Beyond titles and education, our standard is operational: verifiable, traceable deliverables usable by professional counterparties.

FAQ
Are you a CIF firm?
No. Hipparchus does not operate under the CIF regime and does not execute any CIF-dependent mission. When a regulated status is required, we direct to an authorised actor.
What does “AMF exam” mean here?
It refers to a market and regulatory knowledge baseline. To remain strictly accurate, we show the AMF public reference and keep evidence fields (date/provider/proof) explicitly to be filled.
Do you receive client funds?
No. We do not receive or hold client funds, instruments or valuables. Our role is analysis, structuring, and coordination.
How do you handle confidentiality (partners, counterparties)?
Partners/counterparties are never named publicly. We present them by role only. Identity is disclosed only when necessary and under appropriate safeguards (need-to-know, NDA if required).
Where can clients find public references and remedies?
The “Authorities & remedies” page consolidates official links and procedures. It complements this scope page with operational transparency.
