RegTech provider Kreios and the German Investment Funds Association, BVI, have entered into a strategic cooperation to translate regulatory expertise into operational fund compliance using artificial intelligence and rules-based automation – targeting more efficient and consistent implementation of regulatory requirements for funds in Germany.
The deal will initiate with the BVI’s standard modules for the PRIIPs Key Information Document being integrated into Kreios’ document-producer-independent, AI-driven compliance and oversight platform REGMATIX.
This sees content transformed into digital validation rules and intelligent review logic, enabling automated document checks and making regulatory requirements systematically applicable in practice.
While the strategic collaboration includes the BVI, access to the digital validation rules and AI-supported content will be made available to fund management companies via the REGMATIX platform irrespective of BVI membership.
They can be embedded directly into existing operational processes and control routines, providing a standardised and technologically advanced access point to regulatory expertise across the German fund market.
Ulf Herbig, CEO of Kreios (pictured above, left), commented: “Product governance, outsourcing oversight, and compliance reviews are evolving from manual controls to intelligent, AI-supported processes. Together with the BVI, we are translating regulatory knowledge into scalable, automated control mechanisms for the first time, making regulatory requirements directly operational.”
Rudolf Siebel, managing director of the BVI (pictured above, right), noted that the cooperation represented a step forward in innovation: “The growing complexity of regulation calls for new, digital approaches. With our regulatory expertise, we support an AI-driven solution that helps fund management companies implement regulatory requirements efficiently.”
Kreios and the BVI will give their first public insight into their joint solution at the BVI Fund Operations Conference on 24 February in Frankfurt. In a joint presentation, the partners will demonstrate how AI, rules-based automation, and regulatory expertise interact – and the tangible value this delivers for fund companies’ operational compliance.
They will stress the shift away from purely manual reviews toward AI-supported, standardised, and scalable control processes that can meet both current and future regulatory requirements.
