FCA Umbrella
Carry the
umbrella
ECM markets your fund in London with a focus on Europe, Geneva and Zurich for new capital flow — under our Associate Partner's FCA license, while yours is in progress.
Why FCA cover matters
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.
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 a month.
From there, we can support your application for your own FCA license — a standard six-month registration with the authorities.
