Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is iCapital Identity Solutions?

iCapital Identity Solutions is an end‑to‑end AML/KYC compliance solution that combines technology and expert‑led services to deliver a frictionless, globally compliant onboarding experience. It enables firms to validate investor identity once and reuse that verification across future investments, turning compliance into a strategic advantage rather than a bottleneck.

2. Who is iCapital Identity Solutions designed for?

Identity Solutions supports:

  • Asset managers and fund sponsors
  • Wealth managers and home office compliance teams
  • Platforms onboarding complex individual or institutional investors
  • Firms operating across multiple jurisdictions

The solution is purpose‑built to support alternative investments and complex ownership structures.

3. What compliance challenges does Identity Solutions solve?

Traditional onboarding is slowed by fragmented data collection, duplicate AML/KYC reviews, manual follow‑ups, and inconsistent standards across firms. Identity Solutions addresses these issues by:

  • Standardizing data collection
  • Automating validation and review
  • Enabling reuse of verified identity credentials
  • Reducing NIGOs and onboarding delays

4. What is the iCapital Identity Solutions technology platform?

The Identity Solutions technology platform digitizes and automates AML/KYC workflows, enabling:

  • Smart, adaptive data capture
  • Automated validation and deficiency flagging
  • Real‑time dashboards and reporting
  • Structured storage of verified identity data

The platform is designed to integrate seamlessly, without requiring a heavy IT lift.

5. How does smart data collection work?

The platform dynamically determines what information and documentation is required based on available data, investor type, and jurisdictional requirements—so investors are not asked to submit the same document multiple times.

6. What visibility do compliance and operations teams get?

Compliance teams have access to real‑time dashboards that show:

  • Onboarding status
  • Identified deficiencies
  • Risk indicators
  • Jurisdictional requirements
  • Investor‑level and fund‑level reporting

Custom reports provide immediate access to the data and insights needed for internal oversight or regulatory support.

7. Does the technology support complex ownership structures?

Yes. Identity Solutions uses relational graphs to map beneficial ownership and ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs), making it easier to support institutional investors, multi‑entity structures, and layered ownership relationships.

8. How does portable identity benefit firms?

Portable identity:

  • Reduces repetitive AML/KYC reviews
  • Lowers operational burden
  • Decreases NIGO rates
  • Accelerates time to invest
  • Improves investor experience

By enabling interoperability and data reuse, firms can onboard investors faster without compromising compliance standards.

9. Can identity data be reused across multiple investments?

Yes. Once approved, investor profiles become part of a reusable identity record that can be leveraged across future investments, subject to applicable regulatory and refresh requirements.

10. What role do iCapital’s AML/KYC services play?

Identity Solutions is delivered by a team of experienced AML/KYC professionals who:

  • Perform structured AML/KYC reviews
  • Validate investor identity documentation
  • Conduct sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening
  • Assess investor risk using a risk‑based approach
  • Manage remediation and follow‑ups

This ensures compliance decisions are made consistently and aligned with regulatory requirements.

11. What is included in the AML/KYC review?

The review process includes:

  • Customer due diligence (CDD) review by jurisdiction
  • Risk‑rating based on profile, geography, and AML/CFT factors
  • Documentation validation and deficiency remediation
  • Continuous screening against global sanctions, PEP, and adverse media lists

12. Do you issue AML letters?

Yes. Upon approval, iCapital issues AML letters that clients and their service providers can confidently depend on—helping avoid duplicative AML/KYC efforts and supporting regulatory compliance.

13. Is ongoing monitoring supported?

Yes. iCapital provides ongoing support through:

  • Continuous alert monitoring
  • Trigger‑based and periodic refreshes
  • Due diligence updates
  • Introducer tracking and testing

This monitoring is fully managed by iCapital’s compliance services team.

14. Which jurisdictions are supported?

15. How does Identity Solutions maintain regulatory rigor?

Identity Solutions uses a risk‑based approach supported by proprietary customer due diligence matrices, global screening, expert review, and jurisdiction‑specific requirements—ensuring compliance without unnecessary friction.

16. How is iCapital Identity Solutions different from traditional AML/KYC providers?

Unlike point solutions or manual providers, Identity Solutions delivers:

  • Technology‑enabled compliance + expert services
  • Portable, reusable identity credentials
  • Interoperability across platforms
  • End‑to‑end lifecycle support (onboarding through monitoring)

The focus is not just compliance—but operational efficiency and scalability.

17. Why does reuse matter in AML/KYC?

Onboarding friction isn’t caused by regulation—it’s caused by the inability to reuse validated data. Identity Solutions solves this by enabling systems to share and trust identity credentials, reducing redundancy and improving the investor experience.

18. How do firms get started with Identity Solutions?

Firms can begin by engaging with iCapital to review onboarding requirements, jurisdictions, and investor profiles. Identity Solutions can be deployed with minimal disruption and integrated into existing onboarding workflows.
