It was a great privilege working in and across APAC over the last decade and it’s given me a truly global perspective that informs how we tailor our approach to the region. I’ve often been asked what our “Asia strategy” is as if it’s a one size fits all approach! In reality the diversity of financial markets, unique business cultures and nuances have to be understood if you want to build long term partnerships with clients. While that may sound like a bit of a soundbite, one of the key reasons I joined FundApps was because of the incredible loyalty our clients in Asia Pacific and beyond have shown us. Perhaps unsurprisingly, we’ve found delivering outstanding service and a constantly evolving product are key to developing long lasting relationships.
As a growing RegTech firm with a global presence, you can be sure of challenges and obstacles but that’s all part of the fun! I would say the biggest challenge is staying ahead of the question, “what’s next?” We have a market-leading service in Shareholding Disclosure currently with over 100 clients globally. But the bigger question remains - what else do we need to do to make compliance simpler and better for our clients? How do we continue delivering value?
We have an exciting roadmap that looks at further filing automation with regulators around the world, building ESG capabilities, pre-trade tools, expanded reporting and improving overall data quality as just some of our focuses. There is lots of work to be done! Filing automation is a particular passion for me as we look to build on our direct filing connectivity to ASIC and expand to Hong Kong & Singapore to make short filling simple this year.
We’re always on the lookout for great talent and we’ve grown to close to 100 FundAppers on last count, aiming to expand by at least 1.5x this year. We recruit from the best talent in finance, technology and regulation and bring in expertise from clients, regulators and RegTech firms. If you have recommendations please let us know!
That’s a fair observation! The FundApps culture is driven by our company values that raise the bar, increase transparency, champion accountability and we always work with purpose. Every FundApper lives and breathes our values and that goes into our internal and external communication, our design and service delivery, and how we work with clients. Last year, a compliance officer client gave us feedback that working with FundApps is the “best part of her job” - that made our day! We are humbled to be able to work with so many fantastic clients.
We are also committed to making the world a better place to live, work and play in. As of December 2018, we successfully became a certified B-Corp and since then, we have looked to continually improve how we look at governance, our employees, our community and our environment.
We’re here to make compliance simple, make our clients our biggest advocates and have some fun at the same time!
