BCLP’s asset management practice forms part of our full service Funds & Investment Management group, which is recognised as one of the market leaders in institutional investment funds. Our global practice has capabilities across a variety of alternative investment sectors, in particular, real estate, debt and infrastructure, as well as listed funds and REITs. 

We act:

• on unregulated and regulated funds, onshore and offshore structures 
• from the inception and structuring of funds through to executing complex high-value transactions
• for several of the most active fund managers and have advised some of the most high-end mandates in the City, including work for managers such as Aviva Investors, BlackRock, CBRE Global Investors, Hermes and M&G Investment Management, and specialist private equity real estate managers such as  Clearbell Capital, Frogmore and Aegila Capital.

In addition to funds work, our team assists managers across all aspects of their business, including compliance and regulatory change projects, GDPR and cyber security, discretionary management, custody, and Brexit planning. We also have significant expertise advising on the implementation of the Senior Managers and Certification Regime, including giving pragmatic risk management advice to affected individuals. 

Our regulatory investigations and enforcement specialists have experience in the asset management sector carrying out sensitive internal investigations into alleged breaches of law and regulation, with a particular strength in handling matters arising from whistleblower disclosures (where we provide joined-up regulatory and employment law risk management advice) and advising on regulatory notification duties and regulatory liaison.
