PR OFILE
“Cornwall is often called the California of the UK. To us, our strategy is also beautiful, progressive,
and difficult to replicate.” — ALYX WOOD
has chosen to be directly regulated by the UK FCA since December 2020 and has also assembled a substantial board. It contains two entrepreneurs, one of whom built SG Wealth, a Fintech and agricultural entrepreneur, a law firm partner, a head trader and former hedge fund manager, and a company accountant as company secretary. “They are exceptional in each of their specialisms and are full non-executive directors, not just advisors. The directors have helped us with regulatory set up, were our first external investors, and contributed working capital,” says Wood.
“The objective is to have in place infrastructure and a board that is scalable to assets up to our capacity of GBP500 million, including a mainstream fund structure as well as its private managed accounts service. Initial asset raising has focused on friends and family offices and will widen out to other UK entities before approaching the US,” says Wood. Alpha generation rather than asset gathering clearly defines Kernow’s capacity target and the ethos of the firm. THFJ
