Industry Use Cases
AML Watcher provides purpose-built compliance coverage for every firm type in the investment ecosystem, from large institutional asset managers through to boutique family offices managing multi-generational wealth.
Asset Managers
AML Watcher screens investor entities at onboarding and continuously monitors the fund book, providing real-time alerts on PEP appointments, sanctions updates, and adverse media throughout the investor lifecycle.
- Screen all investor entities, individual, corporate and trust structures against PEPs, sanctions, watchlists and adverse media at subscription
- International leak datasets reveal hidden risk and undisclosed connections not captured in corporate registry data.
- Continuous monitoring across the portfolio with automated re-screening and real-time alerts, closing gaps between reviews.
Hedge Funds
Hedge funds face sophisticated capital placement using aliases and layered structures. AML Watcher’s TruRisk AI detects hidden sanctions exposure, resolves complex matches, and reduces false positives.
- uRisk AI resolves aliases using contextual signals, reducing false positives.
- Secondary sanctions screening identifies exposure missed by standard OFAC checks.
- ABC dataset flags LP investors with documented FCPA or UK Bribery Act exposure before capital entry.
Wealth Managers

- Wealth managers gain continuous visibility into client risk across global portfolios and regulatory datasets.
Broker-Dealers
Broker-dealers open hundreds of client accounts per week and execute transactions across institutions, fund managers and private clients simultaneously. AML Watcher integrates via API to screen every new account and every transaction counterparty without adding latency to execution workflows.
- API-first integration screens clients and counterparties in under 400ms, with no impact on onboarding or trade execution.
- Configurable risk thresholds auto-approve low-risk accounts and route high-risk profiles to EDD, removing unnecessary triage.
- Payment screening checks transactions against sanctions and watchlists, blocking prohibited trades before execution.
Family Offices
AML Watcher helps family offices detect and monitor risk across complex structures and politically exposed relationships using continuous screening and global risk intelligence.
