Regulatory Umbrella Services
Regulatory Hosting
As a full-scope Alternative Investment Fund Manager (“AIFM”) authorised and regulated by the FCA, we offer a comprehensive regulatory hosting service to unregulated investment management companies and individuals seeking to quickly and efficiently market, arrange investments, or to establish and manage alternative investment funds in the UK.
Becoming directly authorised can be time-consuming and costly. The process can take many months, by which time a great investment opportunity could be lost, and the process can prove expensive.
Infinity can enable firms to get up and running quickly by operating under its regulatory umbrella. Thus, firms can:
Market their plans and opportunities much faster than the regulatory authorisation process allows, typically this takes weeks with Infinity rather than 6 – 9 months for direct authorisation with the FCA;
Develop business and operational protocols under our supervision before deciding whether to assume regulatory responsibility in house;
Avoid the administrative burden of compliance training, regulatory filings and compliance documentation;
Reduce the overall cost, both in terms of time and money, of managing their own regulator-authorised entity, and share the burden of regulatory capital adequacy.
