AML & KYC Policy

AML & KYC Policy Summary

At Blacksmith Fund, we are fully committed to complying with all applicable Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations to prevent financial crimes, including money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud.

1. Regulatory Compliance

We adhere to AML and KYC requirements established by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the USA PATRIOT Act, the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), and other applicable U.S. and international regulations to ensure the integrity of our financial operations.

2. Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

Before onboarding any investor, we conduct thorough identity verification and background checks to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. This includes:

• Identity Verification: Collecting valid government-issued identification and verifying authenticity.

• Source of Funds Assessment: Reviewing the legitimacy of the investor’s financial resources.

• Ongoing Monitoring: Continuously reviewing transactions for suspicious activity and ensuring compliance over time.

3. Risk-Based Approach

We implement a risk-based framework to assess potential threats, applying enhanced due diligence (EDD) for higher-risk clients, entities, or jurisdictions.

4. Suspicious Activity Reporting (SARs)

We actively monitor transactions and promptly report any suspicious activity to the appropriate regulatory authorities, as required by law.

5. Compliance & Training

Our team undergoes regular AML and KYC training to stay updated on evolving regulatory requirements and best practices.

By enforcing strict AML and KYC measures, Blacksmith Fund upholds the highest standards of financial transparency and security.
