“Can a governance and compliance services firm become the operating infrastructure layer for the global alternative asset management industry?”
Waystone (formerly DMS Governance) evolved from a fund governance and directorship services provider into a full-service institutional solutions platform for the global asset management industry. The company has progressively expanded its compliance, administration, and risk offering through acquisitions and product launches, culminating in the deployment of enterprise KYC/AML technology (Fenergo) at scale. Its embedded finance angle is primarily compliance and regulatory technology infrastructure — not consumer-facing financial products — reflecting the B2B nature of its fund services clientele.
Waystone is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland (with global offices in UK, US, Canada, Switzerland, Asia, Middle East, Bermuda, Cayman Islands).
