Know Your Client (KYC)

A Know Your Client (KYC) documentation checklist is essential for companies, individuals, trustees, agents, general partners of partnerships, or other person acting in a representative capacity, subscribing for participating shares. The checklist includes required documents such as certified copies of the certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, information about registered office and place of business, resolutions authorising subscription, and a list of directors and members. Individuals must provide certified copies of passports, documents evidencing permanent address, and income statements. Trustees, agents, and general partners of partnerships must provide certified copies of the trust agreement or partnership agreement, among others.

All documents not in English require a notarised translation. Certification must be done by a suitable person, such as a lawyer, accountant, or member of the judiciary, indicating that the document is a true copy of the original. The Fund may delegate its anti-money laundering procedures to a suitable person, and may request information to verify the identity and source of payment of application moneys.

Compliance with this KYC checklist is important to prevent money laundering and ensure that subscribers for participating shares are who they claim to be. Failure to comply may result in the Fund or its agents refusing the subscription, and funds being returned without interest at the subscriber's risk and cost.
