Building Britain’s best national IFA business. IWP provides national support services to independent financial advisory and wealth planning firms across the UK. IWP was created to invest in IFAs, acquiring either all the equity or a major stake. We grow them, by providing infrastructure and support services, achieving organic growth and also growing them through further acquisition. We merge local firms together to create regional scale, and in doing that we work on the assumption that the staff and offices we acquire are all valuable. IWP is built from the bottom up, giving owners the ability to build up their business, coming together with others to be the best-regarded IFA firm in their region. As and when they choose to retire, we are here to ensure a smooth succession and the long term continuity of their businesses.

Rainbird solves the limitations of generative Al in high-stakes applications, closing the gap from PoC to Production. Weve redefined enterprise AI with a platform that delivers not just intelligence, but determinism, explainability, and control — the essential traits for any system operating in high-stakes environments like financial services, legal, and healthcare. Where traditional LLMs guess, Rainbird knows. Our deterministic reasoning engine is built on knowledge graphs — enabling decisions that are: ✅ Consistent (same input, same output) ✅ Auditable (every conclusion traceable to source logic) ✅ Compliant (regulatory frameworks encoded into the system itself) Deployed by major financial institutions, Rainbird enables AI that goes beyond automation — it institutionalises expertise. As generative models continue to evolve, Rainbird is the logic layer ensuring they can be deployed responsibly — and effectively — in the real world. It is the most advanced trust layer for enterprise AI.

Cosegic employs over 60 employees who work together in industry specialist teams, servicing over 800 clients from the following sectors: wholesale investment firms (including hedge funds, private market firms, corporate finance and brokers), capital markets (including asset managers and broker/dealers), wealth management, payment services and cryptoassets, consumer credit and insurance and lending In the twenty years we have been supporting firms, compliance obligations have increased significantly. In particular, more responsibility is being placed on senior management and firms have to recognise and prioritise the needs of the consumer more than ever before. To support firms in being both commercially successful, whilst managing their compliance risk, we actively work with them to build compliance into what they do on a day to day basis, rather than a bolt on, or an afterthought. We have consistently found that this gets the best possible outcome for all concerned. In addition, with increasingly complex regulation, businesses are seeking multi-sector specialist partners more than ever to guide them through all aspects of their compliance journey. Our wide range of financial sector experts come together on a regular basis to discuss their interactions with the FCA and the regulatory trends that they are seeing. This provides us with a more informed understanding of the FCA than our competitors, ensuring that we offer our clients solutions that are most appropriate to their needs. Our breadth of experience allows us to balance firms’ business objectives with their compliance requirements. We have built our services and offerings specifically to help our clients confidently navigate regulation in a way that will keep their vision and objectives intact.
