Specialist compliance support for investment managers, hedge funds and private markets.

In a climate where investment is cautious and scrutiny is intense, a well-structured compliance framework reassures regulators of your ability to manage capital (and risk) capably and responsibly. It also gives LPs, institutions and high-net-worth individuals a compelling reason to trust you with their assets.

With over 200 investment firms as clients and more than three decades of experience, Cosegic understands the operating models and regulatory pressures of the investment sector. We apply this insight to embed compliance seamlessly into your culture and to add resilience to your processes.

What regulatory frameworks do investment firms in the UK need to comply with?

Investment firms operating in the UK are subject to a broad range of regulatory obligations, including FCA authorisation, AIFMD, MiFID II, SM&CR, IFPR, and Consumer Duty. Firms with US clients or operations must also navigate SEC registration and the Investment Advisers Act. The specific obligations a firm faces depend on its structure, investment strategy, and client base, making tailored compliance support essential.

In a climate where investor scrutiny is intense, a well-structured compliance framework gives LPs, institutions, and high-net-worth individuals a compelling reason to trust you with their assets. Regulators, investors, and counterparties all conduct rigorous due diligence on compliance standards, making a credible, regulator-ready framework a meaningful competitive advantage in a challenging fundraising environment.

Regulatory compliance touches every aspect of an investment firm's operations, from governance and risk management to client onboarding, financial reporting, and employee conduct. Firms that embed compliance seamlessly into their culture and processes are better positioned to operate efficiently, respond to regulatory change, and demonstrate the standards of accountability and transparency that regulators and investors expect.

Common compliance challenges for investment firms include managing regulatory obligations across multiple jurisdictions, maintaining IFPR-compliant capital frameworks, keeping pace with evolving FCA expectations around conduct and consumer protection, and ensuring financial crime controls are proportionate to the firm's risk profile. Building and retaining skilled compliance teams adds a further layer of complexity.

With over 200 investment firm clients and more than three decades of sector experience, Cosegic understands the operating models and regulatory pressures unique to the investment sector. We apply this insight to embed compliance seamlessly into your culture, add resilience to your processes, and build frameworks that go beyond regulatory obligation to give regulators, investors, and stakeholders every reason to trust your business.
