Zeidler Advises Nomura Asset Management EU on French AIF Launch and SRI Label Accreditation

Zeidler Group is pleased to have advised Nomura Asset Management EU (NAM EU) on the successful launch of a French Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) and the attainment of the Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) label.

The new global equity strategy aligns with some UN Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on energy and ecological transition. The launch required navigating both French and EU AIFMD rules along with strict SRI requirements.

Zeidler Group acted as legal counsel throughout the transaction, advising on fund structuring and documentation, and engaging with regulators and label authorities. The team ensured that the fund’s investment framework, governance, and disclosures were fully aligned with both national regulations and the responsible investment criteria underpinning the SRI label.

The result was a timely and compliant fund launch, with SRI accreditation secured shortly thereafter — reinforcing Nomura’s position as a sustainability-driven asset manager in the European market.
