K2 Integrity and Sonata One: Streamlining KYC Compliance for Asset Managers

At K2 Integrity, we understand the complexities asset managers face in adhering to evolving regulatory requirements, particularly under the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) Investment Adviser AML Program Final Rule. This rule designates certain investment advisers as “financial institutions” under the Bank Secrecy Act, imposing anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) obligations. Compliance necessitates robust know-your-customer (KYC) processes to ensure thorough investor due diligence; along with many other AML/CFT program requirements.

To support asset managers in meeting these challenges, K2 Integrity has partnered with Sonata One, the private funds clearinghouse. Sonata One connects more than 53,000 investors with 6,500 funds globally, offering a seamless experience across the fund lifecycle. Central to their platform is a globally compliant, ‘one-and-done’, investment passport, providing efficient and standardized investor verification.
