NeoXam Enhances Gérifonds’ Regulatory Compliance Capabilities

Gérifonds, a fund management subsidiary of Banque Cantonale Vaudoise (BCV), has expanded its long-standing relationship with software provider NeoXam, aiming to improve regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.

Operating in Switzerland’s demanding regulatory environment, Gérifonds manages 138 funds totalling CHF 21.6 billion. To navigate complex regulations – such as the Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA) and associated ordinances (CISO and CISO-FINMA) – Gérifonds has adopted NeoXam’s Compliance solution to automate regulatory oversight.

NeoXam Compliance acts like an automated monitoring system, continuously evaluating portfolio positions for compliance breaches. If an issue arises, the system issues immediate alerts accompanied by a detailed audit trail, enabling Gérifonds to swiftly resolve breaches and maintain robust regulatory adherence.

The new capabilities build upon Gérifonds’ use of NeoXam’s GP investment accounting software, which has been in place for two decades. The combined solutions provide a streamlined workflow where anomalies are rapidly identified and resolved.

Philipp Sfeir, NeoXam’s Head of EMEA North, explained that while NeoXam Compliance comes pre-loaded with the “Swiss Rule Package,” users can add customized rules, enabling tailored compliance monitoring for investment-specific policies, including asset-type distributions and issuer concentration limits.

“In addition to the compliance offering, Gérifonds successfully utilises the latest generation of our investment accounting solution, GP4,” added Sfeir, highlighting the integrated approach Gérifonds employs to maintain operational effectiveness.

LeapXpert Acquires StartADAM and Broadens Channel Compliance Coverage

Communications compliance provider LeapXpert has acquired cross-platform messaging startup StartADAM extending its reach in the governed-messaging niche. Announced in New York on June 3, the deal folds StartADAM’s people, intellectual property, and product into The LeapXpert Communications Platform, adding fresh AI muscle, two new messaging channels, and three CRM connectors.

By integrating StartADAM’s agentic AI into LeapXpert’s existing intelligence layer (Maxen), the combined platform now auto-summarises threads and extracts action items in real time—functions that compliance and front-office teams typically bolt on via third-party add-ins.

“This is a natural evolution for our product and mission,” said Dima Gutzeit, Founder and CEO of LeapXpert. “StartADAM’s innovations in AI, Slack, Discord, and CRM will be deeply embedded into our platform—unlocking powerful new capabilities for our customers. It’s another important step as we scale the platform across new verticals, channels, and intelligence layers.”

New and expanded channels

Discord (in beta): Popular with gaming studios and crypto firms, Discord is edging into mainstream business use. LeapXpert says governed Discord support will shortly join its roster of WhatsApp, iMessage, SMS, Telegram, Signal, WeChat, and LINE.

Deeper integration with Slack: Corporate users can already route external chats through Slack, but the strengthened “Governed Mode” keeps them inside Slack while handling WhatsApp or other consumer apps in the background—key for advisors who live in channel-centric workflows.

CRM synchronisation: Native two-way sync with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics means contacts, chat history, and context now flow automatically between front-office systems and messaging channels. Closing that loop is a common pain-point for firms juggling relationship data and retention rules.

“StartADAM shares our belief in intelligent, responsible business communication,” noted Avi Pardo, Co-Founder and CBO of LeapXpert. “We built StartADAM to reduce friction in business communications and add a layer of collective intelligence to conversations,” added Adam Stone, Co-Founder of StartADAM. “Joining LeapXpert gives us the reach and infrastructure to deliver on that mission at a global, enterprise scale.”

The announcement lands a few months after LeapXpert’s Portage-led Series B and a run of analyst recognition—including Most Innovative Trade Surveillance Solution in A-Team Group’s Innovation Awards 2025 and Visionary status in Gartner’s 2025 Digital Communications Governance & Archiving Magic Quadrant.
