Industry

Financial Services

Placement intermediaries, TPAs, asset managers and the service firms that sit around them.

In short

We advise commercial and operating leadership at financial-services firms — placement intermediaries, third-party administrators, asset and wealth managers and their service providers — on growth, operating model and transactions. We are not a regulatory consultancy: prudential compliance, licensing and regulated advice sit with specialists and with the firm's own compliance function.

Scope

What we do in this sector

We do this

  • Growth and distribution strategy for placement intermediaries and administrators
  • Operating model and service-level design in high-volume administration
  • Buy-side and sell-side commercial diligence in the sector
  • Governance, cadence and management reporting for owner-led firms

We refer this

  • Prudential and conduct compliance advisory
  • Licensing applications to any financial regulator
  • Regulated investment or regulated advice on cover
  • Fund structuring and legal documentation

FAQ

Frequently asked

Are you regulated?

No, and we do not perform regulated activity. Our work is commercial and operational advisory to firms that are themselves regulated. Anything that requires a licence goes to a licensed party, named in writing at the start of the mandate.

Why does this sector appear at all?

Because our employee benefits pillar puts us opposite placement intermediaries, TPAs and carriers constantly, and we understand how their economics work. That is useful on both sides of the table.
