Advisory.

From investment rationales to scrutiny-proof marketing materials, we ensure you demonstrate to regulators and clients that your offering combines shrewd financial acumen with disciplined processes.

At Cosegic, our advice to investment firms goes beyond simply explaining the rules around capital adequacy and conduct. We also incorporate client suitability, conflicts of interest, ongoing monitoring and training into our advisory role. This creates a more holistic compliance programme.

From FCA and SEC compliance programmes to AIFMD, MiFID II, SM&CR, IFPR and Consumer Duty, we help you to prioritise your compliance obligations, meet legal standards and operate transparently. This builds confidence with regulators, clients and the market, making scaling operations more sustainable and seamless.

Brokers.

From FCA authorisation to transaction monitoring and annual compliance meetings – our full spectrum of support keeps you ahead of regulatory changes, minimises compliance risks, and increases your authority with regulators and clients.

The broad reach of the broker role can extend your risk exposure across multiple regulatory frameworks – from MiFID II and EMIR, to Consumer Duty and sanctions regimes. This places pressure on internal compliance teams to not just interpret and implement these rules, but to continuously monitor compliance, respond to queries, and prepare for regulatory inspections.

At Cosegic, we streamline and simplify compliance by embedding it directly into your everyday workflows. Whether it’s integrating AML and KYC principles into client onboarding or delivering employee training that makes following the rules second nature. This creates robust, compliant processes and audit-ready records that protect your business and withstand rigorous regulatory attention.
