FundApps

FundApps operates as a regulatory technology (RegTech) firm, providing a cloud-native, compliance-as-a-service (CaaS) platform for the global financial industry. The company was established in 2010 by Andrew Patrick White and James Crowley, who identified a need to replace the manual, costly, and inconsistent compliance processes prevalent in the financial sector. White, the current CEO, has a background in computer science and previously developed the compliance software MIG21, which was later sold to State Street, an experience that directly informed the creation of FundApps.

The firm's business model is subscription-based, offering a managed service that combines technology with deep regulatory expertise to clients. This model provides financial institutions—including asset managers, hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and banks—with a scalable solution to navigate complex international compliance requirements. FundApps serves over 160 clients globally, monitoring a combined total of more than $29 trillion in assets under management. The company operates on a global scale with offices in London, New York, and Singapore to provide continuous support to its international client base.

The core of FundApps' offering is a suite of automated services designed to manage regulatory obligations with greater efficiency and reduced risk. Its primary products include Shareholding Disclosure, which helps firms report their positions when they meet certain ownership thresholds in over 100 jurisdictions, and Position Limit Monitoring, which tracks positions against applicable limits. The platform also features services for Sensitive Industries, Sanctions Monitoring, and AIFMD Annex IV reporting. A key component is the continuous monitoring of regulatory changes, supported by a team of in-house legal experts and a partnership with law firm Allen & Overy's affiliate, aosphere, ensuring rules are accurately interpreted and coded into the system. A community feature allows its thousands of users to validate compliance interpretations, adding a layer of peer-reviewed assurance.

FundApps is also a certified B Corporation, a designation it has held since 2018, underscoring its commitment to high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This status is integral to its identity, influencing company operations and its mission to balance profit with purpose. After a decade of bootstrapped growth, the company received minority partner investment from Scottish Equity Partners (SEP) in 2021, followed by a significant growth equity investment from FTV Capital in July 2025, which marked an exit for SEP.
