Each firm is unique, and the compliance needs of private fund managers differ from other financial services firms. The nuances of private fund business models are not fully understood or appreciated by many compliance firms. The SEC’s private fund expertise and focus is constantly expanding.

Through years of experience and focus on the private fund industry, core understands the unique challenges of private funds and can provide customized solutions to help private fund firms succeed in a competitive marketplace by meeting each client’s evolving needs.
Core assigns each client a dedicated team who works proactively with the firm to design an effective compliance solution.
