Global investor services group IQ-EQ has rebranded its specialist regulatory hosting and outsourced compliance business, Lawson Conner, as IQ-EQ.
IQ-EQ completed the acquisition of Lawson Conner in 2018, adding appointed representative and Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) solutions to its existing compliance, administration, asset and advisory services for investment funds.
As Lawson Conner is integrated and working seamlessly as part of the group, IQ-EQ explains the time has come for it to embrace the IQ-EQ brand and operate as an integral part of the group’s overall service offering.
Rachel Aldridge, managing director, regulatory and compliance solutions at IQ-EQ, says: “As we evolve our business to better reflect our clients’ needs, our brand identity must mirror the shift.”
Aldridge highlights: “Throughout our 11-year history, we have stayed ahead of industry trends and market changes to support the strategic needs of our clients. For us rebranding as IQ-EQ is the next logical step on our journey and represents our continued commitment to helping our clients manage regulatory risk.”
John Legrand, managing Director, UK and Ireland, IQ-EQ, adds: “Operating under a single and unifying brand name will allow us to harness the strength and depth of the group to provide our growing global client base with a holistic suite of services that saves cost and reduces time to market.”
Lawson Conner’s regulated services, delivered by its two Financial Conduct Authority-regulated entities, G10 Capital Limited and Sapia Partners LLP will continue to operate under their existing entity names.
In July, IQ-EQ acquired Davy Global Fund Management (DGFM), part of Davy Group.
