As a well-established Luxembourg-based Management Company (ManCo) and Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM), AFFM S.A. manages UCITS and AIFs with distribution across multiple jurisdictions. Given the evolving regulatory landscape, ensuring compliance in marketing materials—such as fund fact sheets, brochures, and investor presentations—is critical.
To stay ahead of regulatory challenges, Alken Fund and AFFM S.A. have chosen Zeidler’s MMR-Tool, an AI-powered, lawyer-trained compliance and LegalTech solution that automates the review of investment fund marketing materials. The tool ensures precise jurisdictional alignment, significantly reduces manual review time, and mitigates regulatory risks while enabling multi-language processing for global distribution networks.
Harnessing AI for Compliance Efficiency
Developed by Zeidler Group’s specialist investment fund lawyers—with extensive experience as in-house counsel at leading firms—and its cutting-edge innovation lab and software engineering teams, the MMR-Tool integrates Large Language Model (LLM) technology with legal expertise to:
Automate compliance checks, drastically reducing manual review times.
Ensure consistency across fund prospectuses, summary prospectuses, and PRIIPs KIDs.
Enhance regulatory accuracy, minimizing compliance risks.
Interpret complex content, including charts, graphs, and nuanced legal texts.
With proper training, the accuracy of an AI-based review system like the MMR-Tool often surpasses human lawyer reviews. A testament to this is that the tool detects clear errors in almost all publicly available marketing materials, many of which have already undergone human legal review.
Why AI Outperforms Traditional Compliance Reviews
Consistency in Review: Human reviewers can be prone to fatigue, cognitive biases, and distractions, leading to inconsistencies. LLMs apply uniform standards across all documents without external influences.
Handling Volume and Speed: AI can process and analyze vast volumes of documents at speeds unattainable by humans, identifying errors and anomalies that may otherwise be overlooked.
Adherence to Regulatory Standards: LLMs are trained on extensive regulatory guidelines (SEC, FCA, ESMA, etc.), ensuring comprehensive compliance checks that leave no regulatory nuances overlooked.
Multi-Language Review with Native-Level Precision: Investment fund marketing materials require accurate translations for different jurisdictions. The MMR-Tool reviews documents in multiple languages with native-level accuracy, ensuring compliance across various linguistic and regulatory environments.
The asset management industry is moving towards near-full automation in marketing material reviews. According to our predictions, compliance processes will likely be 80–100% automated within the next 12–24 months, allowing legal teams to focus on spot-checks and oversight, significantly reducing review time.”
Arne Zeidler, CEO & Founder of Zeidler Group, stated:
“We are thrilled to welcome Alken Funds and AFFM S.A. as adopters of our MMR-Tool. Their decision underscores the growing demand for AI-powered compliance automation in the asset management industry. By leveraging LegalTech, AFFM S.A. is setting a new standard for efficiency, accuracy, and regulatory excellence in marketing material reviews.”
Philipp Gregor, Managing Director at AFFM S.A., added:
“The accelerating pace of compliance reviews requires innovative solutions. Partnering with Zeidler Group enables us to conduct marketing material reviews with greater accuracy and efficiency, ensuring that we stay ahead of regulatory demands.”
