Retrieve and organise operating information
Approved sources, defined permissions, exception handling and review remain visible throughout the workflow.
TECHNOLOGY & EXPERTISE
Controlled technology. Connected industry expertise.
Technology helps recurring operating work move faster and with greater consistency. Expertise ensures that processes, exceptions and material outputs are designed and reviewed by people who understand the financial operating environment.
TECHNOLOGY
Controlled technology for financial operations.
Kelton applies AI, automation, data and workflow technology to help operating teams process information, standardise repetitive work, identify exceptions and strengthen operational control.
Secure and controlled AI deployment
Financial operating data often includes sensitive investor, portfolio, transaction and entity information. AI therefore needs to operate within a defined control environment rather than as an unrestricted public tool.
Depending on the technology stack and client environment, workflows can be designed around private or client-controlled deployment patterns, restricted model access, permissioned data sources and clearly defined data flows.
Model access, prompts, knowledge sources, workflow permissions and generated outputs can be governed as part of the operating process. High-impact tasks remain subject to human review and client approval where appropriate.
- Controlled access to approved data and tools
- Role-based permissions
- Defined model and workflow use cases
- Human review for judgement-sensitive outputs
- Traceable inputs and source references
- Logged actions and approvals
- Monitoring of model and workflow performance
- Controlled updates and rollback where required
AI FOR OPERATING WORK
AI connected to a defined operating task.
AI-generated outputs are treated as part of a controlled workflow, not as an automatic substitute for professional judgement.
Extract structured data from documents
Approved sources, defined permissions, exception handling and review remain visible throughout the workflow.
Classify files, records and operating events
Approved sources, defined permissions, exception handling and review remain visible throughout the workflow.
Compare information across multiple sources
Approved sources, defined permissions, exception handling and review remain visible throughout the workflow.
Identify missing, inconsistent or unusual data
Approved sources, defined permissions, exception handling and review remain visible throughout the workflow.
Support reconciliation and matching
Approved sources, defined permissions, exception handling and review remain visible throughout the workflow.
Summarise exceptions and supporting evidence
Approved sources, defined permissions, exception handling and review remain visible throughout the workflow.
Prepare tasks, status updates and operating reports
Approved sources, defined permissions, exception handling and review remain visible throughout the workflow.
AI HERMES
Controlled AI support for financial operations.
AI Hermes is being developed as a controlled AI capability designed to support financial operations through secure information retrieval, document intelligence, workflow assistance and exception analysis.
It is intended to connect approved data, documents, operating rules and business knowledge so users can work with financial information more efficiently without losing visibility over sources, permissions and review.
Potential applications include document and data extraction, record classification and matching, missing-information identification, task creation, operating-report preparation and escalation to human reviewers.
AI Hermes is not positioned as a fully autonomous operating system. Its role is to support controlled execution and improve the quality and speed of human-led financial operations.
INTEGRATION & EVIDENCE
Automation that strengthens control.
The objective is not necessarily to replace the existing technology stack. It is to create a more controlled operating layer across the information and processes that already exist.
Connect existing sources
Workflows can connect portfolio and order-management systems, administrators, custodians, prime brokers, banks, internal databases, spreadsheets, documents and file repositories.
Standardise recurring work
Approved data can be validated, matched and routed through repeatable workflows that identify duplicate, missing or conflicting records.
Manage exceptions
Unresolved items can be assigned, tracked and escalated while management information and operating evidence remain connected.
Retain accountability
Maker / checker controls, approval routing, version history, source-linked outputs and audit trails preserve a clear record of how work was produced and approved.
EXPERTISE
Connected industry expertise.
Kelton works with a network of experienced professionals across fund operations, investment operations, accounting, investor services, private markets, data, technology implementation and operational controls.
Expertise assembled around the problem
A client challenge may require several disciplines at the same time. Kelton can organise complementary experience around the operating outcome that needs to be delivered rather than force the client into a fixed product or team structure.
The network helps translate a business requirement into an operating process with defined inputs, responsibilities, controls and outputs.

PRIVATE MARKETS & IMPLEMENTATION
Different structures require different operating realities.
Alternative investments create operating requirements that vary by asset class, vehicle and lifecycle. Technology decisions therefore need to be designed around the process rather than treated as a separate IT project.
- Private equity and venture-capital operations
- Private-credit and loan operations
- Capital calls, distributions and investor allocations
- SPV and entity operations
- Portfolio-company and borrower data
- Covenant and borrowing-base workflows
- Real-asset operating structures
- Fund-of-funds and multi-manager reporting
From operating model to implementation
Relevant expertise can support data-model design, operating-data mapping, system selection, migration, integration, workflow implementation, process redesign, control-framework design and operating handover.
Experienced practitioners remain visible wherever the work requires material judgement, exception review, challenge, escalation, approval or accountability.
