Rationale

Why FCA cover matters

Six reasons

Legal compliance

Operate in line with FCA standards so your fund and sales activity stay clear of regulatory risk.

Investor protection

Disclosure, transparency and client-asset rules build investor confidence in your fund.

Market integrity

Surveillance and conduct standards keep the markets — and your fund — credible.

Risk management

Robust systems to identify, assess and manage operational and financial risk.

Reputation

FCA status signals professionalism and ethics to allocators and partners.

Investor access

Many institutional investors and family offices only allocate to FCA-regulated structures.

Mechanics

How it works

In most cases we cover your fund or sales person for a monthly fee under a 24-month agreement. Set-up takes around 90 days.

From there, we can support your application for your own FCA license — a standard six-month registration with the authorities.
