RQC Group today announces the appointment of Warren Low as Head of UK Consulting.
As part of Capricorn Fund Managers Group, Warren strengthens regulatory and compliance advisory capabilities, supporting financial services firms navigating an increasingly complex regulatory environment. He will also spearhead the expansion of group advisory services and help drive the long-term growth strategy.
He joins RQC Group from Kroll, where he served as Director in the Financial Services Compliance and Regulation practice, advising FCA-authorised firms across AIFMD, MiFID, UCITS and related global regulatory regimes. At Kroll, Warren also led regulatory advisory and compliance engagements spanning compliance monitoring and risk assessments, governance reviews, regulatory due diligence, mock FCA visits, SEC support, market abuse controls and Consumer Duty implementation.
Prior to joining Kroll, Warren was the Manager of the Fund Supervision & Alternative Asset Managers teams at the Financial Conduct Authority, where he was responsible for the Fund Supervision strategy for the UK authorised funds market, the supervision of UK authorised alternative asset managers (including hedge funds and private market investors) – and also provided insight and analysis to FCA senior leadership on areas including liquidity, valuation, market integrity, crypto assets and systemic risk.
Warren has significant first-hand investment management experience, having spent 14 years at Universities Superannuation Scheme, where he was a Pan-European Equities Portfolio Manager.
Barrie Davey, CEO, commented:
“Warren’s appointment marks a pivotal step in RQC Group’s strategic expansion and significantly strengthens our consulting capabilities. His combination of regulatory expertise and first-hand asset management experience gives him a valuable perspective on the challenges our clients face. His appointment also strengthens the investment management DNA of our firm, bringing even more practitioner insight to the advice we provide.”
Warren added:
“I’m looking forward to working with this team that has such a strong reputation and understanding of the financial services industry. Having worked across investment management, regulation and consulting I’ve experienced the challenges firms face from a number of different perspectives as regulatory expectations evolve.”
