Hi there, we are Caryn & Antoine.
HERE'S A BIT ABOUT US...
We have 20+ years of experience from working in financial institutions that raise, trade and invest serious sums of money.
In our search for hands-off property investments, we noticed a common issue. Most property investors & developers do not know what investors want or struggle to communicate well. Which leads to difficulties in securing investor finance. That’s where we come in!
We're passionate about supporting property investors & developers – just like you – to raise all the money they need for their deals!
Hi, I'm Caryn Yuen
A former barrister, solicitor and FCA compliance specialist, I have over a decade of experience working in financial services – including a private equity firm, a global asset manager, and a fund of funds.
In 2014, a Facebook ad about property training caught my eye. After completing my first property project, I realised that whilst I loved property, being hands-on wasn't for me. So I shifted to being a hands-off investor.
In 2017, I left the corporate world to work with a developer, a property investment fund, and a property crowdfunding platform. This involved reviewing investor packs, communicating with investors, and managing the delivery of property projects.
Having experienced property from multiple angles – as an investor, developer and crowdfunding platform consultant – I bring a unique perspective. I want to share this knowledge to help you to raise investor finance successfully and I do this through our membership community – The Investables™.
Hi, I'm Antoine Dufresne
With a masters in business focusing on finance, I jumped straight into the fast-paced world of investment banking. Over 11 years, I worked in sales across Paris, New York and London, dealing with a variety of clients including the Bank of England.
In 2019, attracted by the potential rewards of investing in property, I left banking to focus on hands-off property investing with Caryn. During my search for investment opportunities, I noticed a significant gap between what investors wanted and what was being offered.
My banking background has given me a deep understanding of the finance and investment world. I know what investors need to see and hear to be interested in investing in your project – and I'm happy to share that knowledge!
My days are now filled with guiding property investors & developers to get 6-figure investors for their property deals through our membership community – The Investables™ – and I absolutely love it!
WHY DO WE KNOW THE FCA RULES?
Antoine was an FCA-approved person at an investment bank for 5+ years. He had to learn certain FCA rules to maintain his FCA approval.
Caryn was an FCA compliance specialist for 11+ years. She built her career around understanding the complexities of financial regulation.
We have spent – and continue to spend – a lot of time reading through the FCA handbook as well as the financial regulation to understand the rules.
This puts us in a unique position to guide property investors & developers on how to raise investor finance whilst staying compliant with financial regulations.
