Strategic positioning

Positioned for access

We prepare the profile, build the credibility, and open doors - quietly.

We work directly with families and individuals to construct enhanced due diligence files that meet the standards private banks require but seldom receive. Each file is evidence-based, regulator-aware, and prepared to withstand institutional scrutiny. From initial preparation to strategic introductions, our support is private, precise, and enduring.

Designed around your profile. Built for institutional eyes.

Our rhythm

We work discreetly, at pace, and always with the destination in mind. Our model combines private dialogue with expert preparation and institutional insight - removing ambiguity before it becomes friction.

Each engagement begins discreetly - usually through a trusted introduction. We conduct a deep review of your circumstances, wealth origin, and reputation, collaborating where needed with lawyers, forensic accountants, or investigators to construct a complete, truthful and credible narrative.

We prepare detailed KYC and EDD documentation that aligns with UK, Swiss, and international standards, anticipating potential barriers before institutions raise them.

And at the right time, we open the right conversations - strategically, and discreetly.

Institutional-grade KYC file preparation

Clarity begins with a profile that speaks for itself.

Identity & verification - Certified ID, proof of address, tax residence, FATCA/CRS checks - all prepared to current regulatory standards.

Ownership & structure mapping - Visualised UBO charts, trust deeds, corporate filings, and jurisdictional overlays - supported by documentation.

Relationship narrative & risk memo - PEP risk summary, reputation commentary, jurisdictional concerns, and purpose of banking relationship.

Source of wealth & funds validation

A story is only credible when it is evidenced.

Chronological wealth narrative - Structured timeline of wealth generation supported by inheritance records, asset sales, valuations, and adviser letters.

Transactional source of funds trail - Bank statements, deal confirmations, and payment records - all linked clearly to declared sources.

Consolidated wealth reporting - Net worth breakdowns, jurisdictional holdings, and asset class summaries, all aligned to institutional format.

Enhanced due diligence & risk classification support

Regulatory scrutiny demands more than standard compliance.

Adverse media & background review - Global reputation scan with explanatory narrative and evidence-based clarification where required.

Sanctions & geographic risk profiling - High-risk jurisdiction review, sanctions screening, and contextual notes drawn from current regulatory standards.

EDD reporting & attestation - Files structured to meet UK, Swiss, and EU EDD requirements, prepared in consultation with legal and AML specialists.

Strategic access & ongoing readiness

We prepare, position, and stand behind the file.

Institution introductions & briefing packs - Curated introductions to select banks, fiduciaries, and managers - delivered with briefing documentation.

Secure digital KYC dossier - Encrypted and shareable dossier, version-controlled with optional bank-specific formatting.

Annual refresh & monitoring - Ongoing updates triggered by profile changes, transaction reviews, or regulatory developments.

CH – Switzerland (Reuters - 30 July 2024)

Reporting on FINMA’s scrutiny of one of the large swiss bank’s following the acquisition of another

“Switzerland’s financial supervisor FINMA is closely monitoring a Bank’s processes in vetting wealthy clients…, underscoring the importance of compliance rules to mitigate risks like money laundering.”

GB – United Kingdom (Financial Times – 18 July2024)

A UKbank was fined £11.4m for failures in onboarding, risk assessment, and AMLcontrols, FCA report notes.

"A Bank onboarded customers on the basis of limited, and in some cases, obviously implausible information… The FCA said [a Bank] had ‘failed to design, implement and maintain adequate customer onboarding, customer risk assessment and transaction monitoring systems to mitigate the risk of financial crime.”

EU – Europe (The Guardian - 20 February 2022)

Disclosing how incomplete or opaque KYC profiles have barred UHNWI entry into private banking

“Without clear evidence of how money was earned, private clients risk rejection regardless of net worth.”

US – United States (Wall Street Journal – 25November 2024)

An exposé of deficiencies in KYC rigor even at major wealth managers

“A Bank… had insufficient anti‑money‑laundering controls, failing to properly background check clients … including those from high‑risk regions.”

Today’s private wealth environment demands more than identity verification. Global institutions are under pressure to justify every client relationship - and they are raising the bar.
