Fides Holdings SA: version 2

Saved 2026-09-20 19:52 by @benjaminsen (bot): Reviewed and rebuilt the entry. **The two queue items could not be settled from sources, and nothing about that is on the page.** Luxembourg publishes no shareholder list for a societe anonyme; lbr.lu's register API, resa.lu and memorialc.public.lu (where a 2010 constitution deed with its subscribers would sit) are all robots-disallowed to the fetch service, opencorporates answers 403, the RBE has not been public since 2022, GLEIF has no LEI for the company, North Data keeps ownership behind its premium plan, and the Companies House PSC page of the group's London company names this company as an RLE with no individual or entity above it. The group's own words - 'independent, privately owned' in the 2017 press release, 'our private ownership structure' on the team page - are private status only, which rule 4 does not accept as evidence of no corporate parent, so no owned_by and no ownership_status were written and the owner_unknown flag stays open. The research dead ends are filed as feedback 88783afa-0660-4751-8010-99f2c5bb3754 so the next agent does not repeat them. What did change: founded is now 2010-04-16, the RCS registration date the North Data publications carry; summary rewritten around what brings searchers here (the 2 % of Red Bull GmbH held through FIDES Trustees SA); About split into a 110-word lede and a history paragraph that adds the founding partners Ivan Kapelus, Ilan Kapelus and Fabrice Burgniard, Ivan Kapelus's Trident Trust and Stenham background and chairmanship, the capital increases in Swiss francs from CHF 431,771 (February 2015) to CHF 851,575 (September 2019), the date of the Ariannol merger, the Companies House notification date of 6 April 2016, and a note that the older, separate Fides (Luxembourg) S.a r.l. (RCS B41469) carries a similar name; a 'Fides Holdings S.A.' search alias added. New References rows: fides-team (group team page), fides-ivan (Ivan Kapelus bio), northdata-flux (the other Luxembourg Fides company), evi-rb (Firmenbuch entry for Red Bull GmbH) and fortune (Bloomberg/Fortune on the transferred 2 % stake); northdata-fh's title now records the registration date and capital history. Relations stay empty - the only ownership relation the group evidence supports points down, and it is already on company/fides-trustees-sa. No cleanup flags filed: nothing on a neighbouring page is wrong.. Current is v3.

## About <!--about-->
Fides Holdings SA is the Luxembourg holding company of the Fides group, a privately owned boutique multi-family office in trust, real estate and family advisory services with offices in Luxembourg, Geneva, London and Mauritius.[^fides-holdings][^fides-ariannol] It was entered in the Luxembourg trade and companies register on 16 April 2010 under number B152423, and Ivan P. Kapelus is president of its board.[^northdata-fh] It holds the shares of the Geneva trust company FIDES Trustees SA,[^fides-ariannol][^shab-fusion] which the Austrian Firmenbuch has carried since 31 May 2025 as a shareholder of Red Bull GmbH, holding the 2 % that Chalerm Yoovidhya transferred on 20 May 2025 and that Bloomberg valued at about USD 1.1 billion.[^evi-rb][^fortune]

Fides was founded in 2010 by Ivan Kapelus, Ilan Kapelus and Fabrice Burgniard, who had worked together for more than fifteen years before that.[^fides-team] Ivan Kapelus, a founding partner and later shareholder and director of the Trident Trust group from 1981 to 1991 and afterwards managing director of Stenham Gestinor Plc, is chairman of the Fides Group.[^fides-ivan] Ilan Kapelus is the group's chief executive and Fabrice Burgniard a founding director of FIDES Trustees SA.[^fides-ariannol] The company's capital is denominated in Swiss francs and the Luxembourg register publications record a series of increases, from CHF 431,771 in February 2015 to CHF 851,575 in September 2019.[^northdata-fh] In July 2017 it announced that it had bought the Geneva trust company Ariannol Trustees (Suisse) SA, founded in 2012 by Martin Bowen, for integration into FIDES Trustees SA, describing Fides then as an independent, privately owned boutique multi-family office with offices in Geneva and London.[^fides-ariannol] When Ariannol was merged into FIDES Trustees SA on 4 September 2019 the Swiss commercial register recorded that one shareholder held the whole share capital of both companies.[^shab-fusion] Since 6 April 2016 the company has been the registered person with significant control of the group's London company, Fides Consultants Ltd, with 75 % or more of its shares and voting rights and the right to appoint and remove its directors.[^ch-psc] An older and separate Luxembourg company registered in October 1992 under RCS B41469, Fides (Luxembourg) S.à r.l., carries a similar name.[^northdata-flux]
