Today, Collington Capital Limited is pleased to announce that the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) has authorised the firm to conduct regulated activities as a MiFID adviser/arranger for professional clients. The authorisation process concluded with approval after a rapid process lasting only four months. Collington Capital Limited was advised by Kroll Advisory Limited.
The authorisation from the FCA gives the Collington Capital group the ability to provide an integrated regulated and non-regulated service for participants in the impact investment chain including raising philanthropic funding, promoting impact integration, building investment readiness, structuring investment propositions and raising impact investment. The purpose of the group is to enable impact-led enterprises across the globe to access impact capital.
Collington Capital opted for a wider scope of regulatory permissions which require more demanding financial and compliance requirements. This authorisation enables the firm to offer its clients a greater range of services as it is now authorised to undertake the activity of placing of financial instruments with or without a firm commitment basis.
With its new capabilities, Collington Capital can be a valuable partner for fund managers, impact-led enterprises and UK based investors as it pursues its mission of building connections between participants in the impact investment chain, so that more impact capital flows effectively to impact-led enterprises.
Olivia Dickson, Founder Partner of Collington Capital, said “Everyone in the firm is delighted to have received FCA authorisation in short order, reflecting the hard work of a dedicated team. Becoming an authorised and regulated firm in the UK was the obvious next milestone to achieve in order to maximise the support Collington Capital can deliver to fund managers and enterprises across our key markets. We look forward to serving our clients more effectively in the years to come.”
