Company Description
RM Funds is an alternative asset management firm specializing in private and public credit, infrastructure, and real estate investments.
Alongside our core investment management business, we operate a growing Regulatory Services division, offering AIFM services and Appointed Representative (AR) hosting to third-party investment managers. This division is a strategic growth area for the firm, and we are hiring to accelerate its expansion.
Role Description
This is a newly created role within our Regulatory Services offering, with scope for the successful candidate to shape it and build out the desk over time. The primary objective for a successful candidate would be to win new AIFM and AR-hosting mandates, while supporting the servicing of our existing hosted clients. The right candidate will bring an established network of contacts and client relationships across investment managers, fund promoters and other potential introducers, and will be comfortable representing the firm commercially, pitching the service, and converting relationships into new business. Alongside that commercial ability, they will need a working knowledge of the AIFMD and the Appointed Representatives regime - enough regulatory fluency to be technically credible in front of a prospective client, and to know when to draw on our retained compliance consultants.
Key Responsabilities
Business Development & Client Servicing
Acting as a credible, commercial face of the Regulatory Services business with prospective AIFM and AR-hosting clients.
Leveraging existing relationships and industry contacts to generate introductions and new business leads.
Supporting pitches, proposals, and onboarding conversations for prospective hosted firms and funds. Representing the firm at industry events and building the platform's profile in the market.
Acting as a relationship point of contact for hosted firms and funds. Identifying issues and escalating them internally to senior management
Coordinating the oversight of delegated activities and acting as a day‑to‑day point of contact for third‑party service providers, including fund administrators and depositaries.
AIFM Operations and Regulatory Hosting
The role will support the firm’s retained consultants in ensuring the firm’s regulatory obligations are met. These could include:
Fund onboarding and launches
Preparation of Investment Committee papers
Ongoing AR monitoring and periodic reviews
Regulatory Reporting and record keeping
Candidate Profile
Demonstrable experience within an FCA-regulated AIFM, regulatory host or fund services business. Preference will be for a candidate with a client-facing or business-development experience.
A working knowledge of AIFMD and the Appointed Representatives regime - sufficient to explain the hosting model credibly to a prospective manager, scope a mandate, and recognise where specialist compliance input is needed. Deep technical compliance expertise is not required.
Existing relationships or a network within the investment-management, AIFM, or fund-services community is highly desirable, and candidates who can bring or influence client relationships will be prioritised. Comfortable operating independently rather than managing a large compliance team. Ambition to grow the business and the team within the regulatory services division over time is a strong positive.
