Lifento is a real-estate portfolio management company serving the common good, organised around two areas of expertise: Healthcare & social care and French Residential. A single conviction links them: investing in real estate that meets a poorly served social need. Since 2019, Lifento has been developing real-estate funds dedicated to healthcare and elderly care in Europe; in 2026, the company is extending its scope to home ownership, offering a solution to those temporarily excluded from mortgage lending.

The business remains the same: overseeing a real-estate asset across its entire life cycle, from acquisition through active management to disposal. This time it serves a different need, in keeping with the management company’s responsible philosophy: enabling households to become homeowners.

The Access Club fund is an Other AIF within the meaning of paragraph III of Article L. 214-24 of the French Monetary and Financial Code. As such, it is neither subject to an approval nor to a visa from the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF). Its marketing in France has nevertheless been authorised by the AMF to professional and non-professional clients, in accordance with the marketing regime applicable to AIFs.
