Investor Compliance & Onboarding Commands

FundAdmin AI provides six Investor Compliance & Onboarding commands that handle the full lifecycle of admitting a new investor into a fund. This category covers investor type classification, FATCA/CRS and tax form determination, suitability verification, AML/CFT screening, KYC document tracking, and the complete end-to-end subscription pipeline.

These commands are designed for fund administrators managing investor onboarding, compliance teams responsible for AML and sanctions obligations, and GP back-office teams processing subscription documents.
