Manage conflicts of interest and risk

Storing and searching for sensitive data about deals, strategic investments, trading positions, directorships, and holdings within spreadsheets or other disparate systems is fraught with potential risks. Errors inherent in manual processes can cause potential conflicts to be missed or identified late in the process. Firms also face the risk of information loss, data manipulation, and unauthorized access. Any of these failures can lead to reputational damage and even regulatory actions for your firm.

DealCloud places a premium on security to address the unique needs of capital markets firms like yours. By choosing DealCloud, you can speed the clearance of investment bank conflicts and enable your risk, compliance, and firm leadership teams to be better partners. Our extensive audit capabilities help your team remain compliant while also building a competitive edge in the marketplace.

DealCloud Conflicts offers the most trusted, efficient, and transparent solution for modern deal conflicts identification, review, clearance, and reporting. By connecting and centralizing all data sources that your firm relies on, DealCloud’s conflicts of interest management software enables a comprehensive search of quality data, eliminating the need to search in multiple systems.

DealCloud helps firms build custom categorization and tiering systems that streamline conflicts management efforts. Instead of guessing, you can let the data dictate which items require oversight to deliver on client expectations.

Conflicts of interest management software features and benefits

As firms across the capital markets spectrum seek to originate and close more deals, it’s important that they remain compliant with regulators and agencies such as Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (Finra) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the U.S., and the Financial Conduct Agency (FCA) in the U.K. In order to do so — and to avoid regulatory reviews and investigations — investment banking and other capital markets firms must reduce the organizational complexity and administrative burden of checking for conflicts of interest. By leveraging DealCloud’s investment bank conflicts management software, not only will your firm be able to perform a greater number of checks, you’ll also reduce your risk exposure.

Conflict management software features:

Accelerate review

By negating the need for manual checks across multiple systems, including Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, dealmakers can review and clear conflicts of interest more quickly. DealCloud technology uses artificial intelligence to inspect even the most inconsistent and insufficient data sets.

Maintain comprehensive diligence

DealCloud’s technology automatically performs a comprehensive analysis of restrictions that exist with companies that are conflicted, individual conflicts and personal holdings, significant shareholdings or ownership, and much more. Your firm can also institute unique and specific conflicts-clearance workflows.

Act as a single source of truth

By centralizing your firm’s relationship and deal data, DealCloud Conflicts compiles an accurate record of NDAs, allows firms to track material nonpublic information (MNPI), and eliminates the need for manual entity lookups. With a single source of truth, dealmakers can search subsidiaries, shareholders, and related parties, and more confidently and consistently leverage client data and hierarchies.

Reduce operating costs

Gone are the days of manually sifting through data to check for conflicts of interest. DealCloud’s solution enables seamless handoffs and approvals between team members, provides transparency on the review progress, and establishes transparency into the entire conflicts process. Adding to your firm’s existing operational model, DealCloud provides a notification engine that alerts stakeholders when conflicts situations change.

Leverage automation

DealCloud’s conflicts of interest management software automates repetitive and duplicative tasks, helping dealmakers focus more time and attention on transactions. By leveraging AI-assisted conflicts clearance software, dealmakers can work more efficiently, more regularly.

Minimize risk

DealCloud’s smart, purpose-built software enables capital markets firms to design and maintain an auditable process for conflicts management. By reducing the risk of manual errors, investors and bankers can instead rely on a comprehensive audit trail of communications and key approvals in one centralized location.

DealCloud differentiators

DealCloud provides the only technology that streamlines the deal, relationship, and pipeline management process and also enables dealmakers to check and clear conflicts of interest.

By centralizing firmwide data, dealmakers who leverage DealCloud can quickly search across watch and restricted lists, existing NDAs, corporate hierarchy and shareholders, personal accounts, firm holdings, CLO positions, WorldCheck sanctions, and the current deal pipeline. Combined with best-in-class data security and third-party security certifications to ensure data protection, this truly differentiates DealCloud from other conflicts of interest management software.
