FinScan, a provider of advanced anti-money laundering (AML) compliance solutions, has signed UK based Brickwood Asset Management to support the ongoing screening of issuers held within its funds and their company directors.
Brickwood Asset Management is an independent value equities boutique founded by a team of UK and international asset managers.
FinScan, powered by the firm Innovative Systems, provides asset managers with screening of corporate entities and individuals through a unified platform for real-time and ongoing name screening against global sanctions lists, potentially exposed person (PEP) data, and adverse media.
Claudia Ripley, CEO of Brickwood Asset Management, says: “Screening the issuers we hold against global sanctions is a core regulatory requirement, and ensuring that process is supported by a high-quality screening solution was an important consideration for us.
“Adverse media screening is a step we chose to take beyond that requirement. FinScan gives us ongoing coverage across both, with a clear audit trail behind every review.”
Ben Sher, chief revenue officer of Innovative Systems, comments: “Asset managers face real scrutiny from allocators and regulators, and Brickwood Asset Management has responded by building best-in-class controls.
“Adding adverse media screening alongside sanctions, across both their holdings and the directors of those companies, is a considered choice, and one we expect to see more of across the asset management market.”
