Case Study: Global Institutional Investment Management Firm achieves 4-day counterparty onboarding and centralized KYC with Fenergo

How a global investment firm managing over $30 billion in assets transformed counterparty onboarding and KYC processes

Global Institutional Investment Management Firm, a global alternative investment manager overseeing over $30 billion in assets, faced slow, manual counterparty onboarding and KYC processes driven by physical checklists, Excel/Word risk assessments, duplicated requests for the same data, and no single client view. After a prior unsuccessful implementation with a different vendor, the firm selected Fenergo and its end-to-end Client Lifecycle Management solution to modernize onboarding, standardize compliance and eliminate reliance on manual processes.

Fenergo implemented a centralized platform with pre-packaged regulatory rules, no-code configuration and native API integrations to partners such as Moody’s, Orbis, Kompany and Grid for AML screening, enabling on-demand data retrieval and continuous monitoring. The project went live in 18 weeks on schedule and within budget, cutting counterparty onboarding to under 4 days, creating a single source of truth for counterparty data, improving data consistency, reducing repeated information requests and future-proofing the firm’s compliance processes.
