About Iron Road Partners

A via ferrata, or iron road, enables climbers to focus on traversing mountain routes while minimizing the risks associated with unprotected climbing or scrambling.

At Iron Road Partners, we keep our clients from falling. We help investment managers protect and increase franchise value by mitigating risk, increasing transparency, and implementing simple and effective compliance programs. We leverage our industry experience, unique regulatory perspective, and rigorous consulting approach so you can focus on the core of your business.

We are effective in helping you manage risk because we understand the nuances of your business. Our team consists of former chief compliance officers, general partners, limited partners and regulators. We not only understand your business, but we partner with you to help identify your risks, and design solutions that meet the needs of your investment teams, your investors and regulators.

Our regulatory experience is unique because it is both deep and broad, allowing us to put ourselves in the shoes of SEC examiners, SEC investigators, investors and investment professionals. Our team spent a decade at the center of regulation at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission where we executed examinations, assisted with enforcement investigations, reviewed proposed rules and trained personnel.  Iron Road Partners brings this expertise, judgement and perspective to you and your business.

We employ a rigorous consulting approach designed to efficiently and comprehensively mitigate risks. Our reviews emphasize business understanding and are hypothesis-based, allowing us to focus on the salient issues quickly. Using our business understanding as context, our analytical framework stresses evaluating each risk’s probable impact, helping us identify the most effective use of compliance resources.
