HedgeOp Compliance, a provider of consulting services for private fund advisers and specialized compliance software for a wide array of investment advisers, has announced that it has expanded its footprint in the US market with the opening of a San Francisco office.

The expansion to the West Coast is part of a strategic initiative by HedgeOp Compliance, which is head quartered in New York with offices in Boston, to serve the private fund adviser community in the region. The firm now has offices in the major hubs for alternative advisers on both coasts.

“There is a tremendous amount of demand for our services in the Bay Area, particularly from private equity managers now required to register with the SEC,” said William Mulligan, Managing Partner and CEO of HedgeOp Compliance. “We have brought together a highly experienced and professional team to offer compliance and registration assistance as well as other compliance infrastructure support to advisers in the area.”
