The end of a year is always a time for reflection, and as we wrap 2022 it’s no different. The ComplySci® company, as part of the COMPLY™ portfolio has had a powerhouse of a year, with new products, new partnerships and new teams coming together all in the name of compliance.
As we look forward to 2023 and beyond, we would be remiss if we didn’t highlight some of the biggest takeaways from this year.
1.ComplySci, RIA in a Box®, NRS® and illumis® companies come together under COMPLY
While 2021 may have been a year of acquisition a growth, 2022 was a year where our teams came together to form COMPLY. The new parent brand officially united ComplySci, RIA in a Box, NRS and illumis under one entity, bringing together market leaders to create one of the most holistic regulatory compliance solutions and resources available for investment advisers, broker-dealers, hedge funds, private equity firms and more.
