Tell us what you’re working on and we’ll point you to the right support, or build a plan around your firm.
The manager entity carries its own regulatory load: the right permissions, a senior management framework that holds up, defensible valuation and conflicts processes, and reporting that lands on time. We support UK managers andadvisers from authorisation through to ongoing, retained compliance oversight.
Each fund carries obligations of its own: investors to onboard and monitor, periodic reporting to the FCA, and a compliance position across its investmentsthat has to hold from acquisition to exit. We support the funds alongside the manager, so fund-level compliance runs to the same standard and within thesame framework.
We map the manager, its funds and any regulated portfolio companies; permissions, obligations, existing controls, and where the responsibility sits today.
We define one operating model across the ecosystem: who owns what, governance and oversight, reporting cadence and escalation routes.
Our specialists run the agreed services on an ongoing basis, coordinated across disciplines and supported by MyCosegic, so nothing is handled in isolation.

Our Experts
Find answers to the questions we’re asked most often, from our compliance and training services to how we can support your business.
It depends on what the UK entity actually does. Managing funds, advising on investments and arranging deals are regulated activities, and the right permissions depend on your structure, including where the fund manager sits. We map your activities to the permissions you need, and nothing more.
In a challenging fundraising environment, investors conduct rigorous due diligence on a firm's compliance framework before committing capital. A well-structured, audit-ready compliance programme demonstrates organisational credibility, operational discipline, and a commitment to integrity - giving LPs and institutional investors a compelling reason to allocate and maintain confidence throughout the investment relationship.
Compliance obligations around KYC, financial promotions, FCA notifications, and AIFMD can add complexity and time pressure to deal processes if not properly managed. Firms with well-designed compliance frameworks are better positioned to navigate these requirements efficiently, turning compliance into a competitive advantage rather than an obstacle to closing deals and pursuing opportunities.
Common compliance challenges include managing regulatory obligations across multiple fund structures and jurisdictions, maintaining IFPR-compliant capital frameworks, keeping pace with evolving FCA expectations around conduct and financial crime, and ensuring governance structures and internal controls are proportionate to the firm's risk profile. For growing firms, scaling compliance infrastructure to match business growth is a particular challenge.
Cosegic acts as eyes and ears for private equity, venture capital, private credit, and real estate managers in a fast-moving regulatory landscape, interpreting and anticipating regulatory developments across AIFMD, MiFID II, SM&CR, IFPR, and Consumer Duty. From strengthening examination readiness and managing KYC obligations to developing compliance programmes that evolve with regulation, we transform compliance from a potential detractor into a catalyst for growth.
