Mederic A. Daigneault

For more than 20 years, Med Daigneault has counseled businesses and institutions on regulatory financial services matters. His clients include national and international financial services firms, comprising investment advisers, private fund managers (including hedge fund and private equity fund managers), multifamily offices, and broker-dealers. Med has extensive experience partnering with his clients to identify their regulatory requirements, conflicts of interest, and risks to assist in the development, implementation, and testing of compliance programs and supervisory structures. He works closely with his clients on matters concerning compliance with securities laws and regulations, assisting with SEC examinations, and resolving material compliance deficiencies and violations.

During his time as a consultant, Med conducted on-site and virtual mock SEC examinations and compliance reviews of advisers of various sizes ranging from prominent investment managers with global operations and intricate hedge fund complexes, to smaller, yet sophisticated, firms with a handful of staff. Areas reviewed included the latest developments and “hot topics” as well as the core components of compliance programs. He has also drafted and amended Form ADV disclosures for hundreds of investment advisers at both the state and federal levels, including dozens of hedge fund and private equity fund managers.

Med is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and has delivered live and virtual seminars sponsored by custodians, regulatory bodies, and industry groups and associations. He often provides commentary and insights to leading industry publications, including Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, The Hedge Fund Law Report, and Financial Planning Magazine. In 2015, Mederic also authored an Amazon no. 1 new book in securities law, The Core: Practical Advisers Act Compliance for the Private Fund Adviser, and in 2017 was a contributing author and editorial board member for Modern Compliance: Best Practices for Securities & Finance, Vol. II.
