Zeidler’s AI Tool Revolutionizes Fund Compliance Reviews

The asset management sector is entering a new regulatory era, marked by heightened scrutiny and evolving marketing rules. In 2024 alone, the US SEC issued a record number of enforcement actions targeting fund marketing activities.

As global regulation tightens, compliance teams face increasing pressure to streamline reviews and ensure accuracy across jurisdictions. Zeidler Group has stepped up to this challenge with a bold vision: combining legal expertise and AI to deliver scalable, intelligent compliance solutions.

At the heart of Zeidler Group’s approach is the belief that compliance technology must go beyond automation. Instead, it should harness the power of artificial intelligence—guided by legal insight—to deliver precise, reliable outcomes. The result is the Marketing Material Review Tool (MMR-Tool), a flagship RegTech product designed to help financial firms navigate the growing complexity of fund marketing regulations.

Unlike generic compliance platforms, Zeidler’s MMR-Tool is built by legal professionals with deep regulatory knowledge. The platform integrates jurisdiction-specific requirements, including EU directives, FCA Consumer Duty standards, ESG marketing rules, Swiss FINSA/FinIA frameworks, MAS fund distribution rules in Singapore, and SEC/FINRA advertising laws in the U.S.

The MMR-Tool also stands out for its transparency. Rather than a closed AI system, Zeidler embeds experienced legal professionals directly into the platform. Clients benefit from real-time support and can consult with the firm’s lawyers if flagged content needs clarification. This integrated model removes the need for additional billable hours and ensures that legal guidance remains part of the core offering.

Since its founding in 2008, Zeidler Group has focused exclusively on legal and compliance solutions for the investment funds industry. Its independence—with no external investors or venture capital backing—enables it to prioritize client trust and product integrity. The MMR-Tool, launched in March 2024, is already widely adopted by asset managers, hedge funds, family offices, and management companies.

Users of the MMR-Tool report significant time savings, with reviews completed in minutes instead of days. The platform delivers consistent legal commentary across markets and generates documentation suitable for internal oversight and regulatory audits. Seamless integration with existing compliance processes adds to its appeal for global firms seeking efficiency without compromising on legal rigor.

Zeidler Group’s innovative approach to compliance is setting a new standard in the industry. By combining legal expertise with cutting-edge AI, the firm is helping financial institutions stay ahead of the regulatory curve and maintain the highest standards of compliance.
