What SRP Companies does

SRP Companies is a UK-based, privately held corporate finance and advisory firm operating through SRP2 LLP and the FCA-authorised SRP Risk & Finance LLP. Founded by Nigel Edwards, who has over 25 years of experience across international reinsurance underwriting, catastrophe option and bond markets, parametric structuring, and UK regulated corporate finance, the firm provides strategic advice, capital raising, and M&A support for large-scale sophisticated financial transactions behind asset acquisitions, development, and securitisation structures. Transaction sizes reportedly range from £10 million to over £500 million, and the firm structures innovative risk hedges (direct and parametric) covering house-price, mortality, revenue, investment, and insurance portfolios, accessing derivative, insurance, and alternative risk transfer markets. The firm selectively acts as principal alongside its advisory mandates, having previously co-built and exited operating businesses in housing, leisure, and ESG/sustainable projects.

The firm serves only per-se or elective professional clients — large corporates and institutions — and does not work with retail customers. The fee model combines up-front time charges, completion fees, and alignment structures that tie SRP's compensation to the success of the structure or resulting business, with engagements typically structured as multi-year mandates. Distribution is entirely relationship-led: the founder's personal network across London, Paris, Sydney, and New York/Old Greenwich, plus a small UK team (Nigel Edwards and Gemma Cardon supported by a network of trusted associates), is the primary channel. Marketing presence is limited to a corporate website and the founder's LinkedIn profile, with no disclosed products, software, APIs, or technology platform beyond proprietary risk structuring know-how.
