GP & entity screening
Know who you're backing.
Screen GPs, fund entities, and portfolio companies for sanctions, PEP exposure, and adverse media. Automated compliance checks.
The problem
You're acquiring an LP stake in a European buyout fund with 18 portfolio companies across 7 jurisdictions. Before closing, you need to screen the GP firm, all fund entities, portfolio company management teams, and ultimate beneficial owners for sanctions exposure, politically exposed persons (PEPs), and adverse media.
Your compliance team manually searches OFAC lists, EU sanctions databases, and adverse media sources. The process takes 2 weeks per fund. By the time screening is complete, the deal timeline has slipped and the seller is frustrated.
Worse: you have no systematic way to monitor portfolio companies post-acquisition. If a key executive is sanctioned 6 months after close, you find out from a news article — not from your compliance system.
The Omega approach
Upload fund documents, portfolio company org charts, and management bios. Omega Intelligence extracts entity names, key persons, and ownership structures — then screens against global sanctions lists, PEP databases, and adverse media sources. Receive a compliance report with risk scoring and source citations.
What you get:
- Entity extraction: GP entities, fund vehicles, portfolio companies, and subsidiaries identified from LPAs, org charts, and NAV reports
- Sanctions screening: Automated checks against OFAC, EU, UN, and UK sanctions lists with match scoring
- PEP screening: Identify politically exposed persons among GP principals, fund advisors, and portfolio company management
- Adverse media monitoring: Flag negative news related to fraud, corruption, money laundering, or regulatory enforcement
- UBO analysis: Extract ultimate beneficial ownership from fund documents and corporate registries
- Ongoing monitoring: Continuous screening with alerts when new sanctions or adverse media appear
Use case: Multi-jurisdiction fund screening
A secondaries fund is acquiring LP interests in 5 funds managed by an emerging markets-focused GP. The funds hold portfolio companies in Russia, UAE, Turkey, Brazil, and Southeast Asia. Compliance due diligence is critical.
Traditional approach: Compliance team manually extracts entity names and key persons from fund documents. Searches sanctions lists individually. Googles each name for adverse media. Takes 3-4 weeks. High risk of false negatives.
