Private fund managers are operating in an increasingly complex and fast-changing regulatory environment. They must navigate rigorous KYC and beneficial ownership reporting obligations, adapt to shifting sanctions and enforcement regimes, and meet additional due diligence requirements driven by asset-class and jurisdiction-specific considerations. These challenges are compounded as managers expand access to a broader investor base—including high-net-worth and retail investors—intensifying operational pressures and regulatory scrutiny.

"Securities regulators have continued to emphasize the importance of firms knowing who they are investing in and who is investing with them, particularly for national security purposes. As such, we expect regulators to continue their focus on ensuring investment stability and demanding strict compliance from managers in regard to their reporting obligations," remarked Jeremy Kroll, CEO and Co-Founder of K2 Integrity.

The partnership launches at a pivotal moment as fund managers prepare for new FinCEN rules taking effect on January 1, 2026, which will require formal KYC programs and Suspicious Activity Report filings.

"Investment advisers currently need to leverage various tools to perform investor due diligence, which creates inefficiency in the onboarding process, increases the costs associated with fundraising and compliance, and is a pain point for investors who must provide information to multiple firms. Sonata One provides a solution, bringing every stage of the process together in one platform, underpinned by globally compliant standards. This new partnership offers funds the opportunity to expedite capital raising and streamline the investor experience, while also benefitting from K2 Integrity's bespoke program design and tailored risk assessments," added Jason Meklinsky, Chief Revenue Officer at Sonata One.
