Connect with us to learn more

Our London-based team of consultants is dedicated to providing regional U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulatory support to European  investment managers and advisers doing business in the U.S. and attracting U.S. investors.

UK investment managers and advisers seeking to do business in the U.S. or to attract U.S. investors may have certain SEC registration and filing obligations. Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs) must comply with numerous SEC rules and regulations that can be difficult to navigate. Even Exempt Reporting Advisers (ERAs) must be aware of and comply with certain relevant rules and regulatory filings. Adherence to such rules and regulations can be onerous for firms domiciled outside of the U.S.
