Regulatory Compliance Program

Greenstone is the only institutional-grade advisory firm that offers region-wide coverage enabling fund managers to compliantly market and offer funds to GCC investors

For fund managers who have their own investor relationships in the GCC but lack the appropriate licensing to raise capital, Greenstone's GCC Regulatory Compliance Program (“RCP”) enables fund managers to remain compliant while promoting and offering alternative funds/vehicles to investors in select countries in the GCC. Greenstone's RCP platform provides the local licensed entities, registration, regulatory marketing documentation, and product approvals from regulators required for the compliant marketing of a fund.

Our platform of locally-licensed entities enables region-wide regulatory compliance for fund distribution
