ACA’s growing footprint in the European hedge fund space reflects the trust our clients place in us as they navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

It’s about being where our clients need us, with the right expertise to support their evolving goals.
As the leading governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) provider for the financial services industry, ACA supports over 6,000 clients globally, including 88% of the top 100 hedge funds1—by delivering solutions that help firms launch, grow, and protect their businesses.
