Amundi Name Misused in Fake Asset Management Scam

Amundi is the name of one of Europe's largest asset management companies, and at the end of October 2026 it was mentioned together with an investment offer in Turkish forex warning records. The name of a well-known fund manager is chosen to add credibility to the promise of "institutional portfolio management".

🏛️ The Relationship with the Real Amundi

The real France-based Amundi has no company established in Türkiye and no representative office that opens accounts for Turkish retail investors via Telegram or WhatsApp; it has no connection with the scheme described in this article, and its name is being misused. Amundi itself has also published a public warning that its name, logo and employees' names are being used by fraudsters. Abroad too, package investment schemes carrying the Amundi name became the subject of a police operation in Malaysia in 2024.

🚩 How Is Money Collected Through Name Imitation?

SPK's decision No. 8/297 of 24.02.2017 treats offering unauthorised investment services to persons resident in Türkiye, and acting as an intermediary for this, as unauthorised activity. The authorisation of institutions can be verified through the SPK list of authorised institutions.
