    Regulatory Data

    Reg Data icon

    Much like Shareholding Disclosure, successful oversight of industry-specific regulation depends on a variety of reliable data points. Through automated checks done on a daily basis, source file corrections, and crowdsourced information that’s vetted by FundApps, clients’ data concerns and surrounding workloads are addressed.

    Rules Engine

    Rules engine icon

    The Sensitive Industries rule package consists of three different types of rules - Pre-Approval, Hard-Stop, and Threshold-Disclosure - applicable to different extents in all jurisdictions that FundApps covers. By mapping companies utilising GICS codes and a thorough analysis of legal memorandum provided by our partner aosphere, FundApps’ rules engine removes the uncertainty within sensitive industries.

    As sensitive industry legislation is designed to protect the interests of the jurisdiction in scope, the corresponding regulation is rife with nuances and idiosyncrasies. Through a workflow prioritising the most time-sensitive and high-priority actions required by users, clients can maintain a clear view of regulatory obligations that are both due to the relevant authorities and avoidable.

    Why FundApps?

    The first managed service for handling
    the complexities of Sensitive Industries

    Gavel icon
    Unique industry thresholds per jurisdiction

    Each jurisdiction is responsible for determining its own industry specific limits, and does so keeping national interests in mind. For example, Greece requires a post-trade notification in media companies at 1% ownership.

    Same company, different industry
    Many single companies operate in a wide range of industries, rendering the process of manual checks impractical and nonviable. FundApps’ Sensitive Industry rules package takes seconds to complete.

     

    Foreign currency icon
    Foreign ownership drives complexity
    Foreign ownership further complicates matters of industry specific regulation, where foreign investment entities face limitations of ownership far lower than that of domestic ones.

     

    Circle and question mark icon
    Safely navigate arcane regulation
    It’s not uncommon for jurisdictions to enforce obscure industry thresholds. In Norway, there is a 20% pre-approval for waterfalls, and Thailand imposes restrictions on companies that make Buddha casts and monk alms bowls.
