Cosegic
Cosegic employs over 60 employees who work together in industry specialist teams, servicing over 800 clients from the following sectors: wholesale investment firms (including hedge funds, private market firms, corporate finance and brokers), capital markets (including asset managers and broker/dealers), wealth management, payment services and cryptoassets, consumer credit and insurance and lending In the twenty years we have been supporting firms, compliance obligations have increased significantly. In particular, more responsibility is being placed on senior management and firms have to recognise and prioritise the needs of the consumer more than ever before. To support firms in being both commercially successful, whilst managing their compliance risk, we actively work with them to build compliance into what they do on a day to day basis, rather than a bolt on, or an afterthought. We have consistently found that this gets the best possible outcome for all concerned. In addition, with increasingly complex regulation, businesses are seeking multi-sector specialist partners more than ever to guide them through all aspects of their compliance journey. Our wide range of financial sector experts come together on a regular basis to discuss their interactions with the FCA and the regulatory trends that they are seeing. This provides us with a more informed understanding of the FCA than our competitors, ensuring that we offer our clients solutions that are most appropriate to their needs. Our breadth of experience allows us to balance firms’ business objectives with their compliance requirements. We have built our services and offerings specifically to help our clients confidently navigate regulation in a way that will keep their vision and objectives intact.
