Private Client Services
KCG’s Private Client Services team has the proven ability to help high-profile and high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and their advisors, discreetly achieve and maintain the balance between opportunities and risks, and protect what is most important: family, assets, and reputation.
We proceed to a general family risk assessment which takes into account a variety of sophisticated threats like cybercrime, privacy violations, fraud, extortion, and even physical force.
KCG looks at family security as a single problem with many interdependent parts. Through a combination of sophisticated technology, investigative expertise, and a powerful network of contacts and resources, we address the security needs of the family as a whole.
Cyber Risk Management
KCG’s Cyber Risk Management practice offers both proactive and reactive cyber security solutions to help clients prepare for crisis before, during, and after a security threat, delivering end-to-end cyber defense solutions customized to meet the distinctive needs of any type of business or adverse event.
Our process leverages in-depth analysis from cyber security experts to assist clients in identifying cyber risk, implementing proactive measures to improve their cyber security posture, responding to cyber threats with actionable investigations and remediation, and defending their business.
Crypto and Virtual Assets Management
KCG is well placed to help financial institutions, governments and regulators, virtual asset service providers (VASPs), startups, NFT marketplaces, and other emerging service providers to proactively navigate and manage the risks of virtual assets and their related technologies. Virtual asset clients seek to offer everything a traditional financial institution can, and in some cases go beyond to re-shape what “value” transfer might be in the coming years.
Our services include:
- Design, creation, validation, and implementation of financial crime compliance programs, to meet all current regulation and be prepared to meet the inevitable changes, including risk assessments, organization design and review, and policy and procedural development.
- Design and implementation of the necessary controls to support risk mitigation and digital identity authentication to mitigate potential terrorist financing and economic sanctions risks.
- The training of staff in VASPs or in the financial industry more broadly to support effective risk management.
- Assisting banks and other traditional financial institutions in understanding, assessing, and managing the risks presented by VASP customers and counterparties.
- Investigations and source-of-wealth documentation and other bespoke advisory services to allow safe onboarding of individuals with wealth generated from the cryptosphere or to advise private banking clients, investment funds, or family offices that seek to invest in the virtual assets ecosystem.
- Developing and drafting for jurisdictional clients supervisory guidance, regulation, or law aimed at the private sector on managing risks associated with virtual assets and VASPs.
