Introduction

Papo Wealth Capital is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. As a decentralized hedge fund operating on the BitTorrent Blockchain, we recognize the crucial role of robust AML measures in preventing illicit activities, safeguarding our investors’ interests, and preserving the integrity of the global financial system

Objective

The primary objective of this AML Policy is to establish internal procedures and controls to detect, prevent, and mitigate the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing within Papo Wealth Capital. This policy reflects our dedication to complying with all applicable laws and regulatory standards, including the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) guidelines and the South African Revenue Service (SARS).

AML Program Components

1. Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

Papo Wealth Capital conducts thorough customer due diligence on all clients, including individual investors and institutional partners. CDD will include:

Identity Verification: Using reliable, independent sources of documentation to verify the identity of clients.
Risk Assessment: Assessing the risk level of each client, based on factors such as their location, source of funds, and type of transactions.

Enhanced due diligence (EDD) will be applied for high-risk clients, such as politically exposed persons (PEPs) and clients from high-risk jurisdictions.

2. Know Your Customer (KYC) Procedures

We will implement Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, which include:

Collection of Information: Gathering personal details such as name, address, source of income, and intended investment purposes.
Continuous Monitoring: Updating KYC information regularly to ensure the accuracy of client profiles and adjust for any risk factors.

KYC forms a key part of our compliance program, ensuring we have a clear understanding of our clients’ financial backgrounds.

3. Transaction Monitoring and Reporting

Papo Wealth Capital will:

Monitor Transactions: Establish advanced systems to monitor and flag unusual transaction patterns, large or frequent transfers, and transactions involving high-risk jurisdictions.
Report Suspicious Activities: Any activity that appears to be suspicious will be reported to relevant authorities in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Transaction monitoring helps us maintain vigilance over client activity and quickly detect potential financial crimes.

4. Employee Training and Awareness

All employees will undergo AML-specific training to:

Understand the potential risks of money laundering and terrorist financing.
Learn their roles and responsibilities in detecting and reporting suspicious activity.

Regular training sessions and updates will be conducted to ensure all team members are well-versed in emerging threats and the latest AML best practices.

5. Record-Keeping

Papo Wealth Capital will maintain:

Transaction Records: Comprehensive records of all transactions and interactions with clients, along with any documentation gathered through the CDD and KYC processes.
AML Efforts Documentation: Accurate and up-to-date records of all AML compliance activities.

These records will be stored securely and made available for inspection by regulatory authorities for the legally required duration.
