Agentic operations for private markets fund administration.

The agentic operating layer for closed-end fund administration — working alongside your fund accountants, with the ledgers you keep, inside the cloud you control, under your risk framework and controls.

The shape of the problem

No market infrastructure.

Public markets are standardised: instruments carry standards-based identifiers, trades match and settle through shared infrastructure on a common calendar, prices come from central sources, and reporting follows agreed formats. Private markets, by contrast, are flexible — capital flows, investing and reporting shaped to the bespoke requirements of fund managers and their investors. This flexibility is absorbed by fund administrators as part of their service.

One system of control

Every bolt-on makes controls harder to prove. Countersign replaces the patchwork.

Each new tool adds another place your controls have to be evidenced — and another gap between what your policies say and what your auditor can test. Countersign is one system of control running across the systems you use: work is risk-rated and prepared by the agentic layer, checked and released under a single permission system, and as a result evidence is produced as part of the work itself — not assembled after the fact.

Every release is a staff decision
Nothing releases on an agent’s own authority.

Made per item, or governed in advance by a policy your firm sets and detailed control procedures — nothing releases on an agent's own authority. Maker-checker enforced in the database; nothing edits history.

Controls, monitored
Your control framework, watched continuously.

Every item risk-rated against rules your firm owns, routed and checked to match. The monitoring and sign-off evidence are assembled agentically as part of the process.

In your cloud
Your environment, your boundary.

An installable package in your own cloud — not a service you send data to. Client data remains in your existing GL, document collaboration and email systems where it already resides — there is no second data estate.

And the professional and regulated oversight is proven. Every AI platform says a person reviews the output. Countercheck, a feature within Countersign, measures whether that review is working.

Why Countersign

The agentic layer will become core infrastructure.

Speed and control in adopting this operating model matter — to deliver value, and to win competitive advantage. Adopting Countersign can be a matter of months, not a potential multi-year programme of wiring third-party AI consultants, engineers and your own processes into something that works.

Purpose-built for closed-end fund administration, deployed into your own cloud.

Model-agnostic, multi-model and model-flexible by design. With GoldenEval and your risk profile, you approve the AI model(s) your work runs on — you hold the gate, we hold the evidence.

How Countersign starts

Countersign learns your operation before it launches.

In pre-production, Countersign learns how you work — your procedures, your prior quarters, each client's cycles, patterns and risk profile — and drafts its own configuration and risk ratings for your people to confirm, line by line.

Deployed into your own cloud and configured by your own team.

For Fund Administrators.

Countersign is built to deliver the value of agentic service efficiency — whilst maintaining service quality within your risk and control environment.

GPs are increasingly adopting AI for their businesses, including pointing it at deliverables from their fund administrator. AI is writing the requests arriving in your service inbox — while regulators keep raising the bar on controls and evidence. Countersign is the layer you own: agents on your side, under your control, enabling you to define agent-to-agent engagement and evidenced end to end.
