Brickwood Asset Management has selected FinScan for ongoing sanctions and adverse media screening of issuers held within its funds and their directors. The UK-based independent value equities boutique was founded by a team from UK and international asset managers.
FinScan, an Innovative Systems solution, provides name screening for corporate entities and individuals through a single platform. It supports real-time and ongoing checks against global sanctions lists, politically exposed person data and adverse media.
FinScan says its customisable matching technology improves accuracy and explainability while suppressing duplicate and low-value alerts. The platform produces a documented record of each review.
Claudia Ripley, CEO at Brickwood Asset Management, said: “Screening the issuers we hold against global sanctions is a core regulatory requirement, and ensuring that process is supported by a high-quality screening solution was an important consideration for us. Adverse media screening is a step we chose to take beyond that requirement. FinScan gives us ongoing coverage across both, with a clear audit trail behind every review.”
“We’re delighted to welcome Brickwood Asset Management as a FinScan customer,” said Ben Sher, Chief Revenue Officer of Innovative Systems, Inc. “Asset managers face real scrutiny from allocators and regulators, and Brickwood Asset Management has responded by building best-in-class controls. Adding adverse media screening alongside sanctions, across both their holdings and the directors of those companies, is a considered choice, and one we expect to see more of across the asset management market.”
