Client Onboarding, KYC Processing & Portfolio Reporting

A wealth management firm onboards 15–20 new clients per month. Each onboarding takes 4–5 hours of document collection, KYC checks, risk profiling, and CRM data entry. Quarterly portfolio reviews consume another 8+ hours per advisor. This AI system handles the compliance-heavy paperwork so advisors can focus on relationships.

This workflow is for demonstration purposes only. We custom-build automation architectures tailored to each client's specific requirements, tools, and processes.

What Happens at Each Stage

1

Onboarding Pack Distribution

Automated

When a new client is confirmed, the agent sends a personalised onboarding pack: required documents checklist, digital forms (risk tolerance questionnaire, investment objectives, source of funds declaration), and a secure upload link.

2

Document Collection & Chasing

Automated

Agent tracks which documents have been submitted and which are outstanding. Sends polite reminders at 3 days, 7 days, and 14 days. Escalates to the advisor if documents are 21+ days overdue.

3

KYC Verification

AI Agent

Once all documents are received, the agent performs: identity verification (passport/IC cross-check), address verification (utility bill/bank statement), PEP (Politically Exposed Person) screening, and sanctions list check.

4

Risk Profiling

AI Agent

Based on the completed risk tolerance questionnaire and financial data provided, the agent generates a risk profile: Conservative / Balanced / Growth / Aggressive. Includes a narrative summary for the advisor's records.

5

Compliance Decision Gate

Decision Gate

If KYC checks are clean and risk profile is within standard parameters, the onboarding auto-completes. If anything is flagged (PEP hit, sanctions alert, unusual source of funds), it's escalated to the compliance officer with a full briefing.

6

CRM & Portfolio Setup

Action

Clean onboardings are automatically logged in the CRM with all client data, documents, risk profile, and investment objectives. The portfolio management system is pre-configured with the client's allocation preferences.

7

Quarterly Portfolio Reporting

Automated

Every quarter, the agent pulls portfolio performance data, generates a personalised client report (returns vs. benchmark, asset allocation, rebalancing recommendations), and sends it to the client with the advisor CC'd.

8

Regulatory Deadline Tracking

Automated

Agent monitors all regulatory filing deadlines (MAS reporting, AML renewals, client review anniversaries) and sends alerts to advisors 30 days, 14 days, and 3 days before each deadline. Zero missed filings.
