Zeidler’s AI Tool Redefines Fund Compliance Reviews
The asset management industry is facing increased regulatory scrutiny and tighter marketing rules. In 2024, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an unprecedented number of enforcement actions targeting fund marketing practices. As regulations become more complex globally, compliance teams must find ways to speed up reviews while maintaining accuracy across different jurisdictions.
Zeidler Group addresses this challenge by combining deep legal expertise with artificial intelligence to create scalable compliance solutions. Their approach goes beyond simple automation, using AI guided by legal knowledge to produce precise and dependable results. This approach led to the launch of the Marketing Material Review Tool (MMR-Tool), a RegTech product focused on helping financial firms manage the increasing demands of fund marketing regulations.
Legal Expertise Built In
Unlike general compliance platforms, the MMR-Tool was developed by legal professionals with extensive regulatory experience. It includes jurisdiction-specific rules such as EU directives, FCA Consumer Duty standards, ESG marketing guidelines, Swiss FINSA/FinIA frameworks, Singapore’s MAS fund distribution rules, and US SEC/FINRA advertising laws.
Transparency and Real-Time Legal Support
The MMR-Tool is not a closed AI system. Instead, it integrates experienced legal professionals directly within the platform. This means clients receive real-time support and can consult Zeidler’s lawyers if flagged content requires clarification. This setup eliminates the need for extra billable hours and keeps legal advice as an essential part of the service.
Proven Results and Industry Adoption
Since its founding in 2008, Zeidler Group has focused solely on legal and compliance solutions for the investment funds sector. Its independence — free from external investors or venture capital — allows it to prioritize client trust and product integrity. The MMR-Tool, launched in March 2024, has quickly gained acceptance among asset managers, hedge funds, family offices, and management companies.
Users report significant time savings, completing reviews in minutes rather than days. The platform delivers consistent legal commentary across multiple markets and produces documentation suitable for internal oversight and regulatory audits. It also integrates smoothly with existing compliance workflows, appealing to global firms seeking efficiency without sacrificing legal accuracy.
