KYC, AML, and source-of-funds — handled.
We assist private investors and international clients with preparing for KYC, AML, source-of-funds, source-of-wealth, and enhanced due diligence reviews required by U.S. and European financial institutions, investment platforms, and private funds.
Independent investigative services for investors, fund managers & financial professionals.
We provide independent investigative and due diligence services for private investors, family offices, fund managers, compliance teams, and financial professionals working with Luxembourg-based investment funds regulated by the CSSF, as well as other U.S. and European investment structures.

- Identity verification (KYC — Know Your Customer)
- Source of Funds (SOF) and Source of Wealth (SOW) documentation review

Luxembourg-regulated and European fund environments.
We are familiar with the investor due diligence and AML/KYC requirements commonly encountered in Luxembourg-regulated investment structures, including compliance frameworks administered by fund administrators, AIFMs, management companies, and compliance departments operating under CSSF supervision.
Documentation preparation for onboarding reviews.
Our investigative and research services can assist clients in preparing documentation frequently requested during onboarding reviews, including:
- Verification of ownership and control structures
- Supporting documentation for complex wealth sources
- Cross-border business and corporate research
- Identification of potential compliance or reputational concerns prior to submission
- Independent verification of publicly available information
- Review of investor documentation packages before submission
FATCA & CRS form preparation and review.
We can also assist with the preparation and review of FATCA and CRS forms. Investors often complete these forms incorrectly, which can lead to delays and repeated requests for corrections. By assisting with the preparation and review process, we help reduce unnecessary back-and-forth and streamline document submission.
Who we work with.
We work with investors, fund administrators, compliance teams, trust companies, and financial professionals to help streamline onboarding and ongoing due diligence processes while maintaining confidentiality, discretion, and professional standards.
Our approach
Helping investors prepare for fund onboarding before compliance teams ask the questions.
Reducing onboarding delays through independent due diligence, documentation review, and professional verification support.
Important disclosures: Our role is limited to assisting clients in gathering, organizing, and independently verifying information that may be requested during KYC/AML reviews. We do not provide investment advice, tax advice, or regulatory determinations. Final onboarding and investment decisions remain solely with the investment fund, financial institution, administrator, or compliance department.
