Security and Compliance in Fintech

What Fund Managers Should Know Before Launching an Interval Fund

If you're thinking about launching an interval fund, security and compliance are two of the most important factors to get right from day one. Today’s fund managers are navigating a complex landscape balancing investor trust, regulatory obligations, and operational efficiency. That’s where fintech platforms like Sweater come in.

At Sweater, we specialize in helping fund managers launch and scale funds designed for the modern investor. But more than just a tech stack, we offer a secure, compliant foundation you can build on with confidence.

Why Security and Compliance Matter More Than Ever

Whether you're raising capital from accredited investors or reaching the broader unaccredited retail public, you're handling sensitive financial information and operating in a highly regulated environment. Missteps in data security or regulatory compliance don’t just slow you down—they can erode investor trust, damage your reputation, and expose you to serious legal risk.

That’s why we’ve designed the Sweater platform with robust security protocols consistent with industry standards.

Purpose-Built Tools for Secure Fund Operations

Here’s how we support fund managers with security and compliance, from onboarding to ongoing operations:

1. Investor Onboarding

Sweater employs advanced tools that help streamline the Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer (AML/KYC) compliance process. This allows our team to verify investor identities in seconds without sacrificing user experience. As part of onboarding, investor identities are verified against trusted databases in accordance with key regulatory frameworks, including the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), the USA PATRIOT Act, FinCEN guidelines, and applicable state and regional regulations.

All sensitive information is encrypted, keeping personal and financial data safe while enabling a seamless onboarding flow for your investors.

🔐 Key Benefit: Fast, compliant investor onboarding aligned with federal and state AML/KYC requirements with minimal friction.

2. Money Movement

When you’re managing investor capital, precision and visibility are non-negotiable. Our integrations ensure secure and compliant money movement. From initial investments to redemptions, every transaction is tracked, reconciled, and recorded.

💸 Key Benefit: Transparent, auditable payment operations at scale.

3. Built-in Regulatory Oversight

We work closely with legal and in house compliance experts to ensure your interval fund adheres to SEC regulations and broader frameworks like CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). Our platform supports the ongoing reporting, disclosures, and operational requirements needed to stay in good standing.

Sweater’s platform runs on modern technologies, cloud infrastructure, and up-to-date frameworks that prioritize security from day one. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with strict access controls in place to prevent unauthorized access and ensure investor information stays protected.

🧩 Key Benefit: Tools and workflows designed to support compliance obligations.

A Modern Solution for the Modern Fund Manager

Most legacy platforms weren’t built with interval funds or modern fintech use cases in mind. Sweater is different. We're purpose-built to help fund managers launch compliant, scalable interval funds with lower overhead and fewer operational headaches.

Whether you're an emerging manager or an experienced GP looking to expand access to retail capital, we help you stay focused on what matters most: sourcing deals, delivering potential returns, and growing your fund.
