      Regulatory compliance is critical for licensed fund managers operating under a Capital Markets Services Licence (CMSL) for Accredited/Institutional Investors. To help firms stay on top of their obligations, our compliance experts created a Compliance Health Checklist, highlighting key areas where firms often need enhancements.
