Gemma Magee

Gemma Magee has established herself as a pivotal figure in financial compliance and operations since founding Comsura in 2018, where she serves as Managing Director. Her impressive career trajectory began in 2000, with her first hedge fund role coming in 2003 at a long-short equity fund before transitioning to a quantitative hedge fund startup. This early experience provided the foundation for what would become a comprehensive understanding of financial operations across managers of varying sizes and strategies. Prior to establishing Comsura, Magee held a significant position at Fundsmith, adding to her diverse portfolio of experience that spans compliance, COO functions, operations, and trading. Her qualifications as an accountant further strengthen her multifaceted expertise in the financial services sector. Since launching Comsura, Magee has guided numerous firms through the complex process of FCA regulation and provided crucial setup support and ongoing compliance advice to hedge funds employing diverse strategies. Comsura's success under Magee's leadership stems from her commitment to delivering hands-on, tailored compliance solutions that address the specific needs of each client. The firm's recent expansion beyond FCA regulation into US compliance and COO support demonstrates Magee's vision for comprehensive service delivery. The addition of Maria Moral as Partner and Senior Consultant for compliance monitoring and risk management services further enhances the firm's capabilities. What distinguishes Magee in the compliance landscape is her team's in-house experience at asset management firms, enabling them to provide thoughtful, practical advice that reflects real-world understanding rather than purely theoretical approaches to regulatory challenges.
