INVESTOR & TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICES
Connected investor onboarding from documentation to activation.
Bring subscription documents, KYC/AML, tax classifications, static data, approvals and provider hand-offs into one controlled onboarding record.
Overview
Investor onboarding is the end-to-end process of admitting a new investor into a fund. It coordinates subscription documents, KYC/AML, FATCA/CRS information, eligibility checks, investor/static data, approvals, payment/dealing readiness and the final hand-off to the transfer agent, administrator or other appointed provider.
Onboarding is broader than KYC. KYC is one control workstream; onboarding connects legal documents, investor data, tax status, operations, provider setup and final acceptance.
