How a Singapore-based fund manager eliminated compliance bottlenecks with Prudexis

Profile

• Industry: Investment management
• Location: Singapore (MAS-regulated)
• Entity type: Licensed fund manager
• Key challenge: Manual screening workflows generating excessive false positives
• Solution: Prudexis Compliance Intelligence Platform

Background

This Singapore-based fund manager operates across multiple asset classes and is subject to MAS AML/CFT requirements. As the firm's investor base grew, so did its compliance obligations, including daily sanctions screening, PEP checks, and adverse media monitoring across a growing list of entities.

The compliance team had relied on a combination of manual spreadsheet workflows and legacy screening tools. As regulatory scrutiny in Singapore intensified, these approaches were no longer sustainable.

The challenge

Before adopting Prudexis, the team faced three critical operational problems:

• Too many false positives: Analysts spent most of their time reviewing irrelevant matches caused by name collisions, outdated records, and alias mismatches.
• Slow manual process: Screening required checking multiple databases, cross-referencing records, and building case files across disconnected systems.
• Poor audit trail: Evidence was spread across emails, spreadsheets, and notes, making it difficult to reconstruct decision history for governance reviews or MAS inquiries.

The solution

The firm deployed Prudexis as its primary compliance intelligence platform, consolidating sanctions screening, PEP checks, and adverse media monitoring into a single daily workflow.

• Global sanctions and PEP screening with automated entity resolution across aliases and linked entities
• AI-powered adverse media monitoring across global news and regulatory sources
• Automated risk scoring to prioritize genuine alerts over low-confidence matches
• Case management with full audit trail from alert to closure
• API integration into existing onboarding and investor monitoring workflows

The results

• False positives down: Meaningful reduction in low-confidence alerts
• Analyst efficiency up: More time spent on genuine risk investigation
• Audit-ready operations: Every case decision is traceable and documented

Onboarding reviews that previously required manual work across disconnected systems now follow a single documented process in Prudexis, with every alert, review, and decision captured in an auditable case history.
