The ai-driven
Fund Lifecycle Management
made in Germany

Scale even faster, more efficiently and more sustainably. With PACTA and our artificial intelligence "Themis", you automate all your documents and processes in an intelligent no-code workflow on a central legal platform for data-driven prospectus & contract lifecycle management and more.

BENEFITS

Time is money. Whether open or closed, public or special funds - this principle is especially decisive in the financial market. However, legal processes lag behind the digitalisation of other business areas and are thus far too often the bottleneck in your fund structure. This is exactly where PACTA comes in.

1

A central legal platform for fund and prospectus management

Investment management company, custodian bank, asset manager, corporate finance consultants and investors usually communicate independently of each other by e-mail or correspondence. Individual processes have to be forwarded, correlated, discussed and approved many times.

PACTA enables you to realise all legal processes of your fund management on a single platform and have them controlled by legal experts. PACTA maps the right workflows for each internal and external stakeholder:

2

Virtual assistance for contract review & monitoring

Manually searching through legal documents and finding metadata, risks and deadlines is tedious and time-consuming.

PACTA brings your prospectuses and contracts to life. Our artificial intelligence "Themis" supports you in reviewing external documents and analyses all relevant investment data and deadlines for you. Monitor your funds and investor structures with the help of Themis and let it remind you of maturities and (reporting) deadlines.

This way, you reduce your audit effort and produce (semi-)annual reports and other audit reports on average 31% faster than before while minimising your risks.

3

Scalable legal hub on demand

Prospectuses and investment conditions are currently drafted, discussed with all parties involved, approved and published within 90 days on average. However, the time required to coordinate individual sections with the depositary, asset managers or corporate finance advisors is often only a few hours. The real bottleneck in the system is trivial administrative tasks and inefficient document processing.

With PACTA, your legal experts provide you with a legal hub of legally compliant forms and contract review workflows on demand. By answering an easy-to-understand questionnaire, you can create a subscription form perfectly formatted in your corporate design within minutes or have the prospectus for your next fund checked for compliance with your internal guidelines. In addition, you can initiate the approval and underwriting of your documents in a legally secure, independent and straightforward manner.

4

Halve your coordination and negotiation time

You coordinate with your colleagues and various people involved in the individualisation of attachment documents by means of endless e-mail chains and hundreds of comments, and edit Word documents in markup mode and in circulation.

With PACTA you edit your documents together with all parties in real time. This halves both the number of steps in your process and the time from draft to publication or drawing.

5

Legal certainty with maximum agility

In order to shorten the set-up of the fund, you may individualise your contracts, investment conditions and risk notices yourself and without legal experts. This often results in legal errors or ambiguous clauses.

With PACTA, your legal experts control the legal content of your documents without being overloaded with simple repetitive tasks. If you want to exceed the set legal framework, you trigger an approval loop with a mouse click so that your legal department can deal with these special cases.

In this way, you eliminate on average 75% of the sources of error in legal documents and at the same time ensure maximum agility in your fund structures.

6

Sustainability and cost savings with digital signing

The provable declaration of consent or release of a document by individual parties as well as the conclusion of subscription agreements or agreements on the change of investment principles with institutional investors by hand-signing, mailing and returning paper documents is not only time-consuming but also resource-consuming.

With PACTA signatures, you sign your documents within seconds instead of waiting an average of two weeks for a contract to be returned.

Protect the environment and save costs. For example, a mid-sized company would save an average of nearly 300,000 pages of paper, 4.3 tons of wood, and 1.5 tons of CO2 per year.

7

Compliance & streamlining of all clauses and legal texts

You have to manually organise and compare all your clauses and text modules for different variants of investment structures, conditions and legal prospectus contents. In addition, regulatory changes such as amendments to financial market legislation or regulatory decisions have to be collected, evaluated, assigned to different clauses and entered into a multitude of individual documents.

With PACTA, your legal experts keep track of all your clauses and legal texts at all times. Themis analyses your documents, recognises, extracts, categorises and names all your clauses so that you can compare, version and update them in one central place. PACTA then automatically optimises all forms with the desired changes for you (streamlining).

8

Digitisation of your paper contracts

We understand that not all supervisory authorities work with digital documents yet. However, converting written permission notices or regulatory notices into machine-readable digital documents presents legal and technical challenges for all other parties involved.

We have also thought about this problem and make this step as easy as possible for you. PACTA comes with automated text recognition (OCR) software that automatically turns simple scans into readable PDF documents. This way, digitisation reaches you sooner and easier than you could expect.

FAQ

What exactly is meant by document automation?

Michael Czapla

How does document analysis work?

Arthur Gogohia

Data Scientist

For our automated extraction of relevant information from documents, we rely on state-of-the-art deep learning architectures. In the first step, a specially trained neural network recognizes important parts within a document. In the second step, our algorithms process this information into insightful findings. In the third step, the data is sorted and clearly presented on the platform.

How does automatic text recognition work for documents?

Jeffry Cacho

Data Scientist

We achieve automated extraction of text from scans in two steps. First we use image processing algorithms to optimize the quality of the scans. Our customized deep learning model then detects existing text in the image with pixel precision and converts it into digital text. This makes scans searchable and eliminates the need to manually type out the text.
