PROBLEM

Ensuring suitability and tax compliance remains a key industry challenge for wealth managers. Due to complex and changing compliance requirements, and process limitations, client-facing teams often struggle to efficiently deliver personalised investment opportunities to clients.

Complex cross-border, suitability and tax restrictions on investment product level often prevent the necessary client focus.

Country-specific regulatory and tax implications on investment product level complicate the management of company-wide market portfolios.

Non-compliance with regulatory restrictions or legal obligations can lead to regulatory risk and compensation payments.

  • Pre-trade Compliance

    Streamline trade execution with automated compliance checks

    In today's fast-paced banking landscape, efficient trade execution processes are essential to delivering the best outcomes for your clients. Financial institutions often rely on advanced trading and portfolio management tools to empower relationship managers and client advisors but too often compliance requirements remain a major hurdle.

    Navigating complex country- and product-specific trading restrictions can be overwhelming. Many institutions are lacking access to real-time regulatory insights, while others struggle to keep pace with ever-changing regulatory requirements. Compliance checks often require sifting through policies, legal handbooks, or consulting in-house expert—a time-consuming, costly, and error-prone process.

    The consequences of non-compliant trades can be severe, leading to legal repercussions, regulatory fines, and reputational damage.

    Effortless Compliance with Apiax

    Empower your team with instant and reliable compliance checks. By either using our Apiax Instruments Check App or by embedding the Apiax Suitability and Tax Compliance API into your trade execution workflow, you can ensure every trade meets regulatory requirements in real time and without disrupting efficiency.

  • Investment Management

    Effortless Suitability Compliance for your investment offering

    Today’s high-net-worth clients expect more than just investment services: they demand personalised advice on portfolio-level and tailored to their needs. But ensuring compliance with country-specific suitability regulations remains a major challenge for financial institutions.

    Consumer protection laws require that every investment recommendation aligns with a client’s risk profile and financial objectives. Non-compliance can lead to severe fines and reputational damage. However, many investment advisors and portfolio managers still rely on outdated methods such as manually checking spreadsheets or verifying product characteristics, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and compliance risks.

    Smarter Compliance and better customer outcome

    With Apiax, financial institutions can automate suitability compliance, ensuring that every investment recommendation is instantly checked against the latest country—and investment product-specific regulations without manual effort. Whether through the Apiax Instruments Check App or by embedding the Apiax Suitability and Tax Compliance API into an existing portfolio management system, firms can simplify compliance, mitigate risk, and confidently provide seamless investment services.

  • ESG Investing

    Effortless ESG Compliance for asset and wealth managers

    Today’s investors demand more than just financial returns, they expect personalised guidance on the ESG impact of their portfolios. To meet these evolving expectations, financial institutions must navigate a complex landscape of ESG regulations and consumer protection laws, ensuring every investment recommendation aligns with both financial and sustainability goals.

    Regulators around the globe are increasingly integrating ESG considerations into suitability requirements, imposing strict compliance standards and significant penalties for non-compliance. Yet, many investment advisors and portfolio management firms struggle to apply country-specific ESG and suitability rules at investment product level. Relying on spreadsheets and manual product checks not only slows down decision-making but also increases the risk of outdated or inaccurate information.

    Seamless ESG Compliance and smarter investment decisions

    With Apiax, financial institutions can embed ESG compliance directly into their investment processes, eliminating manual efforts and reducing compliance risks. Whether through the Apiax Instruments Check App or by integrating the Apiax Suitability and Tax Compliance API into a portfolio management systems, firms can ensure every investment recommendation meets evolving ESG and regulatory standards effortlessly.

  • Investment Due Diligence

    Effortless Compliance checks for your due diligence process

    Todays wealth management clients are expecting state-of-the-art investment advisory services and best-in-class product ideas. Financial institutions have therefore implemented sophisticated product due diligence and product selection processes.

    Consumer protection laws in many countries require financial institutions to only recommend suitable investment services and products, and are imposing significant fines in case of non-compliance.

    Many investment advisers and portfolio managers are struggling with the complexity of understanding country-specific suitability requirements at investment product level. Conducting due diligence on a single investment product often requires investment teams to check spreadsheets and manually clarify investment product characteristics. These manual approaches are inefficient and run the constant risk of overlooking compliance restrictions or using outdated product data.

    Smarter and fully compliant investment due diligence process

    With Apiax you can optimise your investment due diligence process by using our Apiax Instruments Check App or by embedding the Apiax Suitability and Tax Compliance API into your existing due diligence workflow.

    Select best-in-class and only fully compliant investment products efficiently. [Read our integration guide here]
