Client AML protocol

Intro

As a responsible, ethical UK asset management company operating in the property industry, Resurgam Asset Management takes its AML responsibilities very seriously. We verify the identity of those looking to invest in our property repurposing projects.

Our Process

i) Investors (Projects)
For direct investors we require two pieces of verified identification, of which at least one must show a photograph and at least one must confirm the investor’s current address. We retain copies of the ID, held securely and for as long as required, in line with GDPR (2018) retention requirements. We also require investors to self-certify as either HNWI or sophisticated investors.

For indirect investors (those who invest via a broker) we require the broker to carry out AML checks, retain the documentation as necessary and in compliance with AML and GDPR requirements. We request written confirmation from the broker that AML requirements have been met.

ii) Operating Partners
As an investment company, Resurgam Asset Management holds assets and works with partners to deliver the repurposing project and subsequent operation of the buildings. Resurgam Asset Management carries out due diligence on its operating partners, including identification verification of the directors of the operating partner companies and review of the companies’ filing at Companies House.

iii) Operating Business Clients
Identification verification of the end clients of the businesses operating in the assets is the responsibility of the operating partners. Resurgam Asset Management reviews and audits the operating partners’ AML processes.

Ethical Investment

Resurgam Asset Management’s strategy is the acquisition of redundant secondary commercial stock, primarily office stock, to be repurposed into cash flowing assets by housing proven business types. As repurposing is a more environmentally friendly method of development, our preference is for investors who share our environmental values.
