Our specialist wealth management team all have experience of regulating or working within the sector. Our clients are both retail and institutionally focussed managing discretionary and advisory portfolios with many offering full financial planning services.
We help firms actively manage their financial crime risks. We can conduct healthchecks; perform risk assessments; help with policies, governance and training; and support you through regulatory visits.

Whatever the reason you’ve heard from the regulators, we’re here to help. And our role as a skilled person for s166 work means we have a very clear understanding of the regulators’ expectations.
