3. A Brief History of Money Laundering

4. Money Laundering: The process of changing the identity of money gained from illegal activities into “clean” money, thus concealing the true origin and ownership of the money. Terrorist Financing: The process by which terrorists fund their operations in order to perform terrorist acts; usually involves money laundering. What is Money Laundering & Terrorist Financing? While illegal activities such as these have undoubtedly been going on for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, it’s only in the 20th century that money laundering, as a crime, has really attracted interest. ‘Money laundering’ as an expression is one of fairly recent origin. The original sighting was in newspapers reporting the Watergate scandal in the United States in 1973. Let’s take a look at two of the most infamous money launderers!

5. One of America’s best known mobsters was also the inventor of “modern” money laundering. In fact, many of his first businesses were laundromats and thus extremely cash intensive. Some will say that Capone’s use of laundromats was the origin of the phrase money “laundering!” Capone was prosecuted and convicted in October, 1931 not for money laundering, but for tax evasion. Al Capone

6. It has been said that he was the most successful criminal known. Escobar, a notorious leader of a Columbian drug cartel, at one time controlled 80% of the world’s cocaine trade. So how did he do it? Escobar used money laundering in order to effectively deposit billions of dollars gained from the sale of narcotics in the U.S. and offshore banking havens such as the Bahamas, Aruba and the Cayman Islands. Known at one point as the seventh richest man in the world by Forbes, Escobar used his criminally derived wealth to live an extravagant lifestyle filled with luxurious real estate, cars, helicopters, airplanes and even a private zoo with imported exotic animals! The growing suspicions of the U.S. government over Escobar’s wealth and the increase in conflict over the American and Columbia trade treaty eventually led to Escobar’s death in a gunfight by Columbian authorities in his hometown of Medellin, Columbia. Pablo Escobar

11. Former military dictator of Panama, General Noriega, misappropriated approximately $23 million of funds from the Panama National Guard. The funds were deposited into various accounts he opened with the Bank of Credit and Commerce International in Luxembourg and London. From there, $11.5 million of the funds were transferred to an account in the name of “Finlay International” at the Union Bank of Switzerland in Zurich. The whole of the funds were then transferred to the Middle Eastern Bank in London. Finlay International instructed the Middle Eastern Bank to transfer the funds to several brokerage accounts opened at a commodities brokerage firm. Multiple transactions took place through the Finlay accounts set up at the brokerage firm, involving trades on the Chicago and London commodities markets. Gradually, the money was withdrawn from the brokerage accounts and used to buy luxury items in Paris, e.g. yacht, apartment in Europe, etc. Case Study – General Noriega Placement: the money is introduced to the financial system Layering: the money is moved through the financial system Integration: the money is unrecognizable from its original source Can you see the various stages of money laundering in this scenario?

12. SS&C’s Role

13. SS&C’s Role • SS&C • As part of its administrative services, SS&C conducts certain AML reviews on behalf of Fund clients, as designated in their Services Agreement • Our clients and their counterparties rely on SS&C to conduct the appropriate AML/Know Your Customer Checks on the money which is used to fund trading accounts • SS&C must ensure that sufficient AML/CTF procedures and controls are in place in those jurisdictions in which the Company operates • Investment Managers • & • Fund Counterparties • Fund Clients

14. SS&C’s Regulatory Jurisdictions Ireland Luxembourg Bermuda Cayman Islands Curacao

15. Also known as ‘KYC’ Involves conducting a due diligence review on clients Verification of true identity, address, source of funds, nature of business etc Involves risk assessment - source of wealth, type of client, location of client Required identity verification documents may include: Passport or other government-issued proof of identification Official formation documents or other governing agreements Documents which verify the nature of the client’s business What does it mean to “Know Your Customer?”

16. Financial Services providers such as SS&C must implement certain procedures in order to effectively combat money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. These procedures include: AML/CTF Procedures at a Glance • Client identification procedures, including where appropriate, identification of beneficial owners, and the nature of the client’s business • Staff training procedures regarding applicable AML/CTF regulations and company policies • Recognition of “suspicious activity” and reporting of such activity to the appropriate person(s) • On-going monitoring of business arrangements • Retention of documents for not less than 5 years Internal Audit procedures • Designation of a Money Laundering Reporting Officer (“MLRO”) and Money Laundering Compliance Officer

17. Under the laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate, it is a criminal offense of money laundering if a person possesses, conceals, disguises, transfers, converts, removes, acquires, or, in any way, handles the proceeds of criminal conduct A person commits a criminal offense if he or she knows or suspects, or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting, that another person is engaged in criminal conduct, and he or she does not make the required disclosure to the Money Laundering Reporting Officer in their company. Only the Money Laundering Reporting Officer should make a report to SS&C’s regulator/local Financial Intelligence Unit (‘FIU’) if they suspect or know about suspicious activity or money laundering. Why is all of this important to you?

18. Tipping Off It is important to ensure you do not discuss any suspicions of money laundering or other criminal conduct or any reporting of such conduct with anyone but the Company’s Money Laundering Reporting Officer (“MLRO”). In the event that you make a report of suspicious activity to the MLRO, you will be given specific instructions on how to proceed. It is a criminal offense if a person knows or suspects a disclosure of money laundering is about to take place, is taking place, or has taken place, and he or she makes a disclosure which is likely to prejudice an investigation.

19. A prospective corporate investor wishes to subscribe into ABC Fund Limited, however they reside in a country not recognized by our regulators. In order to conduct the appropriate KYC checks, SS&C’s Investor Services representative requests documentation in order to identify the investor and its shareholders. The investor is reluctant to provide data relating to its shareholders and after many weeks, the Investor Services representative instructs the investor that they cannot process the subscription without this documentation. The investor states on a call, “this is ridiculous, I have invested in many funds and none of them have given me a hard time. I am going to withdraw my subscription immediately!” Keeping in mind the “tipping off” offense, which one of the below actions would be bestpractice to pursue? Knowledge Check A. Tell the Fund Manager of your suspicions. Let them deal with the investor. Hey, maybe they’ll have better luck? B. Say nothing. No harm no foul. The investor didn’t provide the documentation, so you couldn’t process. Simple as that. C. Coordinate a discussion to speak with the company MLRO.

20. If you said “C” you are correct! It is best practice to discuss the matter directly with your company MLRO who will instruct you on how to proceed. By no means should any of your suspicions be discussed with the investor, client, or co-workers.

21. Suspicious Activity

22. Refers to types of activity that can be construed as questionable or suspect Important to “Know Your Customer” so you are better able to identify activity which is unusual or not in the normal range of activity for that client All SS&C personnel must monitor activity in client or investor accounts and always be alert to unusual or inconsistent transactions What is Suspicious Activity?

23. Some examples of Suspicious Activity may include: Reluctance for a client to provide additional information or documentation Requests from a client to remain anonymous Swaps or other transactions with a non traditional counterparty, e.g. other than a recognized bank or brokerage house Excessive frequency of contributions and withdrawals by a client or investor, especially where there is no financial gain or other benefit Unusually high volume transactions Types of Suspicious Activity Let’s take a look at a scenario to test your recognition of suspicious activity!

24. An Operations employee at SS&C is requested to send out a wire for a Fund expense by one of the Operations Managers at the Fund who he speaks to everyday and has a great working relationship with. The Operations Manager at the Fund says the expenses occurred during a business trip and he’d really appreciate a prompt turnaround. When the employee requests documentation to substantiate the wire, the Manager jokes around, saying how foolish he is because he accidentally threw out the receipts. The employee tells him that it’s no problem, he’ll just need the Director’s sign off on the expenses. The Manager immediately withdraws the requests to submit the expenses and tells the SS&C employee not to worry about it, he’ll just have his boss pay him directly. Knowledge Check Could this situation be construed as ‘suspicious activity’?

25. YES! Although the Operations Manager at the Fund may really have legitimately misplaced the receipts to support the expense wire and didn’t want to create trouble or make things difficult for the Operations employee, it is worth the Operations employee checking into it further to ensure the expense would have been legitimate and approved by the Fund’s Director. Each employee is responsible for being the first line in defense against money laundering and terrorist financing. It is your responsibility to report any activity which isn’t the norm and could be construed as “suspicious!”

26. Suspicious Activity should be reported to the Company’s MLRO Suspicious Activity should be reported using the form available on the intranet The MLRO will provide the employee with further instructions on how to proceed How to Report Suspicious Activity

27. Case Study - The Black Market Peso Exchange Ever wondered how drug traffickers could possibly deposit tremendous amounts of illegal proceeds into U.S. bank accounts without arising suspicion by banks and regulators? The truth is, they don’t! Lets take a look at this common scenario. The majority of drug traffickers in Columbia don’t want the U.S. dollars they earn from drug sales because they rarely leave Columbia. They need their local currency to live their lives, purchase homes and other luxuries and pay for the operations of their drug trafficking business. So instead they have found a method to convert their ill gotten gains back to their native currency, the peso, through a series of transactions with a black market broker. Known as “The Black Market Peso Exchange,” this process involves a money broker who will purchase U.S. dollars derived from drug sales, negotiate an exchange rate of Columbian pesos for the U.S. dollars (usually 40% below the official exchange rate) and deliver those pesos to the drug traffickers in the Columbian bank accounts. This very successful and prevalent process of money laundering is even used by legitimate successful businessmen in Columbia who have pesos but want to buy cheap U.S. dollars to purchase goods in the U.S. The U.S. dollars from traffickers are often swapped with the pesos the legitimate businessmen want to convert and the money broker then receives the commissions from the difference in the exchange. It is estimated that the “black peso exchange” launders $5 billion dollars of drug money per year!

28. There are (3) distinct phases of money laundering to be aware of: placement, layering & integration SS&C has a regulatory obligation to adhere to certain AML/CTF standards, which include the process of knowing your customer (“KYC”) The better you know your customer, the better equipped you will be to identify suspicious activity should it occur Money laundering is a serious offense but not reporting money laundering or suspicious activity is just as serious It is also an offense to “tip off” any outside parties to suspected or known money laundering activity by sharing your suspicions There are different types of suspicious activity and every employee must share in the responsibility for the firm to identify suspicious activity and report it to the company MLRO Money laundering is and has been an abundant problem in society and requires vigilance from everyone to protect the integrity of the financial system Summary
