Silver makes a culture of compliance realistic

Today, investment firm compliance best practices call for ample resources and independent input. Both regulators and investors expect continual dedication of resources to compliance and third-party testing.

Silver clients are private equity, venture capital, hedge fund and crypto/digital asset firms contemplating SEC investment adviser registration and registrants outsourcing ongoing compliance functions. Our early entry into the crypto space positioned Silver at the forefront of creating the industry’s compliance best practices for firms fully dedicated to investing in digital assets and those incorporating digital assets into a broader investment mandate.

Silver also advises investment firms in need of SEC exam support or looking for a fresh set of eyes to test their compliance programs
