About us

Sandford Capital holds a broad wholesale Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) coupled with deep compliance and operational expertise to assist you in meeting your licensing needs. We have extensive in-house experience in AFSL compliance, with access to Funds Management legal expertise within our group. Our typical client falls into one of 2 main categories: - Require an AFS Licence to provide wholesale general advice to potential clients in Australia for a foreign based manager; or - A start up investment manager who wants to be their own trustee. A key area of focus for us is the VC space, where keeping the trusteeship in-house makes sense. We’ve run Fund Management companies, we’ve run the administration for investment houses, we’ve run our own institutional grade investment funds, we provide compliance supervision and systems to many investment houses (large and small and cross-jurisdictional). In short, we have experience in all aspects of the funds management industry.

  • With private equity on the rise, fund managers must not lose sight of their compliance with licensing requirements. As the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) investigates the shift from public markets to private equity, concerns around transparency and valuations are emerging.    Fund managers have the option of leveraging the experience of Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) holders, ensuring they are monitored and supervised appropriately as a corporate authorised representative. This ensures adherence to regulatory licensing requirements while navigating the complexities of private equity investments. Proper licensing not only mitigates risks but also instils investor confidence, fostering sustainable growth in private markets.   With the significant capital shift in private equity, adhering to robust licensing frameworks is not just a regulatory obligation but a crucial aspect of maintaining integrity and trust in the financial system. By aligning with an experienced AFSL holder, fund managers can manage compliance effectively and seize the opportunities within private equity.     For more information on how Sandford Capital can support your AFS licensing requirements, please reach out to us at info@sandfordcapital.com.   #PrivateEquity #Compliance #AFSL #FinancialServices #ASIC
