Centralising global compliance for a $500 billion investment firm

Published: 18 Dec 2025 | Updated: 17 Dec 2025

The client, their challenge

Our client is a global private credit and equity firm with circa $500 billion in assets under management (AUM) that required a scalable, multi-jurisdiction anti-money laundering/know your customer (AML/KYC) and know your agent (KYA) solution to support a growing global investor base and streamline re-investment and refresh processes.

Their in-house compliance team sought a partner with a proven AML technology platform and global expertise to conduct gap analysis, manage investor subscriptions and perform thorough AML reviews.

Our solution

We began by providing two IQ-EQ dedicated resources (manager-level and in-house legal) to lead AML/KYC and KYA reviews. We then:

  • Expanded coverage to multiple jurisdictions to meet global compliance needs
  • Implemented our proprietary MaxComply™ platform to centralise and document KYC/KYA procedures
  • Co-developed a customised review protocol aligned with the client’s internal due diligence standards
  • Built advanced screening and adverse media checks within MaxComply for ongoing monitoring
  • Created internal dashboards for client teams and external dashboards for investors to track review status
  • Streamlined KYA workflows to enable faster investor approvals for deal teams
  • Established multi-tier governance, including a monthly steering committee, to oversee process enhancements and scalability

The results

  • Delivered a scalable, jurisdiction-sensitive compliance framework tailored to client needs
  • Improved transparency and tracking for both internal teams and external stakeholders
  • Accelerated investor onboarding and approval timelines through formalised workflows
  • Enabled proactive monitoring and risk management via integrated screening tools
  • Enhanced operational efficiency and investor experience with real-time dashboards
  • Supported rapid business growth with flexible resource deployment and governance oversight.
