Investor and counterparty due diligence through every fund layer.
Asset and fund managers deal with structures built to hold other structures: corporate investors, feeder funds, SPVs and holding companies, often across several jurisdictions. KYCK looks through those layers to the beneficial owners, screens every entity and person it finds, and keeps a file your administrator, auditor and regulator can follow.

Look through the structure
Corporate investors and fund vehicles often sit several layers above the person who actually owns them. KYCK maps the chain through each holding layer to the ultimate beneficial owners and checks it against the documents, so the structure chart and the evidence agree.
Screen every layer, not just the top
Every entity and person found in the chain is screened for sanctions, PEP and adverse media, and the 50 percent rule is applied where sanctions law requires it, because an unlisted vehicle majority-owned by a sanctioned person is treated as sanctioned itself.
Investors and service providers
The same flow covers corporate investors and the counterparties around the fund: brokers, administrators, placement agents and the companies you invest in. Each one gets a file built from your own questionnaire template.
Evidence your administrator can rely on
Documents are extracted rather than retyped, each value linked to its source page, and every screening and approval is timestamped. The finished file exports as a disclosure package for administrators, auditors and supervisors.
Where the ownership questions get hard
Each of these is a reason to map control as well as ownership, and to re-screen when the structure changes. Our guide to counterparty due diligence covers the risk-based approach in more depth.
Frequently asked questions
Can KYCK look through fund structures?
Yes. KYCK maps ownership through holding layers to the ultimate beneficial owners, checks it against the documents and screens every entity and person found on the way.
What is the 50 percent rule?
Under US sanctions rules, an entity owned 50 percent or more, directly or indirectly, by one or more sanctioned persons is treated as sanctioned, even if it is not on a list. The EU and UK apply their own ownership and control tests. KYCK applies the rule where sanctions law requires it.
Does KYCK replace our fund administrator's checks?
No. It gives you your own evidence of who your investors and counterparties are, which you can share with the administrator as a disclosure package. Many managers keep their own file alongside the administrator's, so the evidence is in their hands when a regulator or investor asks.
Can the questionnaire match our subscription documents?
Questionnaires are template-driven, so the fields, sections and required documents follow your policy, and templates can differ by investor type or risk level.
