The majority of the fund industry has outsourced Blue Sky compliance instead of maintaining it in-house.  Why?

  • Cost – Maintaining an in-house compliance department is expensive. You have to invest in personnel, technology and training.
  • Risk and Liability – A breakdown in your compliance process can result in costly fines or the failure to get a new product to market on time.
  • Lost Productivity – Daily compliance administration is extremely time consuming.  Couldn’t your staff’s time be better spent?
  • Expensive Training – Training and retraining new staff because of turnover is costly, and can interrupt your registration compliance.
  • Complicated Changes – On both the legislation and technology fronts, the compliance industry is constantly changing. Keeping up with it all can get very complicated.

Put simply, why invest your company’s resources on something that someone else can do more efficiently and for less?
