Sanctions Monitoring

Sanctions Monitoring

Navigating global sanctions has quickly become a business-critical responsibility of investment managers everywhere. Compliance teams are tasked with screening portfolios and potential investments against changing lists of sanctions in order to avoid legal, financial, and reputational consequences. A single sanctioned entity has the potential to trigger asset freezes and result in fines and regulatory scrutiny, putting client capital and performance at risk.

Against a backdrop of growing geopolitical tensions, staying compliant is growing burden. Governments frequently update sanctions lists like the US OFAC-SDN, EU Consolidated Sanctions, UK Sanctions, UN Security Sanctions and more, resulting in an error-prone and time consuming process.

FundApps Sanctions Monitoring helps teams stay ahead of risk, effortlessly and automatically. 

How FundApps' Sanctions Monitoring Service works

FundApps’ Sanctions Monitoring is designed to take the uncertainty and inefficiency out of sanctions compliance through multiple checks designed to maximise coverage.

Using data provided by BIGTXN, all positions are automatically screened for connections to sanctioned entities upon each positions file upload. Any potential issue is flagged and teams notified, prompting action before it becomes problematic. The system continuously monitor major sanctions lists, immediately alerting users should an existing position fall into scope when a list changes, eliminating the need for manual tracking across all portfolios.

Additionally, Sanctions Monitoring clients can also perform pre-trade checks on individual securities using ISINs, providing clarity and avoiding potential issues altogether.
