COMPLIANCE BACK-UP

As an asset manager, you are faced with the decision of whether to handle the compliance tasks and other regulatory duties and requirements (risk management, ICS, data protection)yourself, hire a specialist or outsource this activity. Outsourcing solutions are often expensive, especially for smaller asset managers.

 

IGUV offers an attractive solution for asset managers who wish to handle most of their compliance duties independently: A specialist they can call on at any time.
