The differences between each industry varies according to jurisdiction. For example, Bulgaria applies a 1% notification threshold in insurance companies while Greece applies a 1% threshold in media companies and a 10% threshold for insurance companies.
A single company can operate in a wide range of industries. Keeping track using manual processes is a full-time job. Automated checks using our Sensitive Industry rule packages takes seconds to complete.
Many experienced professionals are unaware that there are issuer specific restrictions within a specific industry. For example, holding greater than 1% in ANZ Singapore LTD would require pre-approval.
Foreign ownership restrictions add further difficulties. For example, Denmark imposes a limitation on foreign ownership of Defence at 20%. However, Danish investors face a limit of 59%.
Some jurisdictions enforce obscure laws. In Norway, there is a 20% Pre-Approval for Waterfalls. Thailand impose restrictions on companies that make Buddha casts and monk alms bowls!
Built on the FundApps platform, this is the first managed service used by compliance teams to uphold their regulatory obligations when trading in industries of special significance.
Backed by legal information from aosphere (an affiliate of Allen and Overy) and benefiting from best-in-class platform features, this is the gold-standard for sensitive industries monitoring.
Monitor alerts across multiple jurisdictions from a single dashboard in an easy-to-use User Interface (UI). Users are alerted via email with a daily snapshot of their results and can view further details in the UI which has embedded workflow functionality, audit trails, and more!
Room-In-A-Name calculates how much can be traded ("Room") in an issuer ("Name") before reaching the next reportable threshold. Having this information visible in the service, and optionally integrated with your OMS, ensures compliance and front office teams are connected with time to anticipate upcoming filings.
FundApps makes reporting simple. Gaining insight into historical disclosures across global jurisdictions has never been easier - users are able to produce high-production value management reports at the click of a button.
“I can sleep better at night in comfort of the fact that our team can wake up early and know whether we have any imminent filings.”
