FundApps Sensitive Industries is a cloud-based compliance solution that helps investment managers monitor exposure to sensitive industries across global jurisdictions. These industries—ranging from defense, banking, and energy to transportation, aerospace, telecoms, and media—are subject to complex and often obscure regulatory restrictions. FundApps automates the detection of potential breaches, enabling firms to stay compliant and avoid reputational or regulatory risk. The platform uses Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) codes and legal data from aosphere to analyze holdings against jurisdiction-specific rules. It supports listed and unlisted, public and private issuers, and flags exposure risks in real time.

Features

• Industry-Specific Legal & Regulatory Data: Uses GICS codes and aosphere’s legal interpretations to assess exposure.
• Automated Monitoring: Daily email alerts and dashboard snapshots with embedded workflows and audit trails.
• Results API: Calculates how much can be traded before reaching the next reportable threshold.
• OMS Integration: Optional integration with Order Management Systems to connect compliance and front-office teams.
• Issuer-Specific Limits: Detects limits that apply to specific issuers or investor types, including foreign ownership.
