ACA Group, a governance, risk, and compliance advisor in financial services, and Anduin, a provider of investor onboarding and fund subscription technology, have partnered to deliver a fully integrated investor onboarding solution.
This solution combines advanced subscription technology with expert anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Client (KYC) managed services and regulatory technology, says the firm.
The partnership combines Anduin’s investor onboarding and fund subscription platform with ACA’s deep AML/KYC compliance expertise and managed services to create a single-point solution and lockstep operating model.
The combined offering is supported by ACA’s Compliance Alpha AML/KYC technology to enhance automation, risk detection, and efficiency.
Through the collaboration, ACA’s AML/KYC workflows operate in coordination with Anduin’s onboarding platform, enabling a unified process for investor intake, screening, review, and documentation.
As private markets firms manage growing investor volumes, increasingly complex fund structures, and global limited partner (LP) bases, investor onboarding has become a critical part of the fundraising and investor experience.
The firm says that the investor relations teams are expected to move faster, provide greater transparency, and deliver a smooth onboarding process while navigating evolving AML/KYC requirements, sanctions programmes, and cross-border regulatory expectations.
Designed for an environment where sanctions programmes change rapidly and beneficial ownership structures are becoming more opaque, the integrated solution enables firms to apply consistent, risk-based controls while maintaining operational efficiency and a strong investor experience.
The integrated solution is designed for private fund managers, general partners, investment advisers, broker-dealers with AML/KYC obligations, highly regulated funds, fund administrators, and legal teams seeking to reduce operational complexity and align all parties within a single, coordinated workflow, the firm notes.
Eliot Hodges, CEO of Anduin, says: “We believe the best outcomes for our clients come from partnering with specialists like ACA who bring deep expertise in their respective domains.
“By combining Anduin’s onboarding technology with ACA’s AML/KYC expertise, we’re delivering a unified operating model that reflects how private markets firms actually operate — complex structures, global investors, and the need for both efficiency and regulatory confidence.”
Patrick Olson, CEO of ACA Group, adds: “Investor onboarding and AML/KYC reviews are deeply interconnected, yet they are often managed through fragmented systems and vendors.
“As regulatory expectations rise globally and regulators place greater emphasis on transparency, beneficial ownership, and real-world effectiveness, firms need solutions that are compliant and defensible.
“Our partnership with Anduin delivers a true single-point solution with one platform and one workflow that helps firms streamline onboarding, strengthen compliance oversight, and reduce risk without sacrificing the investor experience.”
