About Vauban
Vauban was founded by Remy Astie and Ulric Musset with a passion to revolutionise the way that fund structuring and administration worked – by making it as simple and pain-free as how shipping containers changed the way international shipping worked (read more here). Wealth Containers was the logical next step in that evolution. Since building their very first Wealth Container, they have changed the way that over 5,000 investors have accessed alternative investments.
We have been backed by key partners such as Outward Ventures, Pentech, Kima Ventures, West Loop Ventures, United First Partners and Pi Labs. Vauban is headquartered in London and is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 825317).
