A Midwest-based, multi-strategy alternative investment manager makes substantial investments in private credit and private investments as part of its diversified approach to asset management. These private transactions can be quite large and are often complicated transactions with first-time counterparties. The investment manager was aware of large financial losses in its industry due to socially engineered wire fraud attacks and was interested in adding increased protections to its wire transactions.

Though the investment manager had already implemented wire transaction best practices and engaged top- tier institutional counterparties to ensure best-in-class compliance and security around fund transfers and cash movement, the firm engaged Conduit Security to:

• Utilize the advantages of workflow automation and data enrichments, increasing scalability and repeatability of cash transfers for private investments
• Move verification and authorization processes out of email into a transparent, secure portal
• Create and memorialize all diligence in easily auditable deliverables

After participating in Conduit’s first training call, the investment manager successfully used Conduit’s workflow automation tool to process investment wires while ensuring the firm’s already established best practices were followed. Implementation included custom deliverables for the firm’s internal compliance team and for 3rd party administrators.

Testimonial

“We decided to partner with Conduit because they made our process more transparent and secure. The workflow implementation was seamless and operationally efficient. Conduit’s deliverables and dashboards create a collaborative process that gives us certainty that our process is followed and documented with each wire transfer.”
