Services
Smith Hamilton Investment Partners services meet the strategic, legal and regulatory objectives of wealth and asset managers
Business Strategy & Product Development
For emerging and established wealth and asset management firms, having forward looking business planning for the company, products and investment teams is essential for commercial success. Plans that support the objectives of the business and investment team lead to effective intra-firm decision making.
Legal & Outsource General Counsel
Meeting legal and regulatory obligations is an increasing barrier to many wealth and asset
management firms. Our sister law firm Smith Hills advises on all aspects of financial services law and supplies highly experienced General Counsel providing a cost effective outsourced team to help your business grow through different fund structures and across borders, unlocking market potential.
Preparing Investment & Sales Teams to Win Business
With extensive frontline proposition and pitching success in institutional and wholesale markets, we can get your team ready. Our proven programme to bring sales and investment together, preparing both teams to be pitch ready, improves the success rate for new businesses. A major benefit is building rapport between sales, marketing and investment.
Business Design and Implementation
The arrival of increasingly effective outsourcing solutions and investment technology allows wealth and asset managers to come to market or to re-engineer their business with a cost base that fits for a future of lower fund charges.
Regulatory Compliance
Following the financial system crisis, the regulation that wealth and asset managers now have to meet is placing more stress on firms. For smaller and mid-sized firms, having affordable access to external expertise to ensure regulatory, mandate and internal policy requirements are met is a great benefit.
Risk Management & Governance Structures
Supporting the design, implementation and on-going monitoring of the risk framework of an organisation is necessary to meet regulatory requirements, support strategic decision making and to provide comfort to current and prospective investors about the soundness of the governance of the business
Compensation Plan Design & Support
Compensation can be an area of contention for many wealth and asset managers. Implementing a plan that supports the requirements of the business, individuals and meets the objectives of investment products is necessary for meeting long-term growth objectives.
