Compliance shouldn't grow faster than your fund.
Rook is a software assistant for Singapore LFMCs and Family Offices — built to reduce the time and money spent staying on top of MAS obligations, while keeping accountability where it belongs: with the directors.
Why Rook exists
For Singapore fund managers, compliance is a cost centre — and it keeps growing. New MAS notices, revised guidelines, additional filings and expanded director-accountability standards all add work every year. Small and mid-size manager revenue doesn't move at the same pace.
Under the SFA, directors carry the legal responsibility for compliance whether they run it in-house, engage an outside adviser, or do a mix of both. Outsourcing the work never outsources the accountability.
Rook exists to shrink that cost centre without shrinking what directors are already accountable for. We handle the repetitive tracking, retrieval and drafting so senior people can spend their time on judgement calls and the business.
A senior-level assistant for compliance obligations
You and your directors stay in charge. Rook does the tracking, retrieval and drafting; you apply the judgement.
Reminds you
Every MAS deadline, submission and recurring obligation for your entity type — surfaced before it slips.
Retrieves the rule
Ask a plain-English question and get an answer citing the exact SFA / SF(LCB)R / MAS Notice paragraph.
Drafts the first version
AML manuals, policies and risk frameworks — grounded in MAS text, ready for your review and edits.
Keeps the paper trail
Full audit log of what was drafted, reviewed and signed off — by whom, when, and against which version of the rule.
Where the tool ends and human judgement begins.
- Not a Compliance Officer, and not a licensed advisor.
- Not legal advice. Rook does not create a lawyer–client relationship.
- Not a substitute for judgement on novel, contentious, or high-risk matters — engage a lawyer or an experienced consultant.
- Not a guarantee of MAS approval, and not a guarantee against enforcement action.
- Not a warehouse for your client KYC or fund financials — we hold only what's needed to run the workflow.
Fund managers who want to keep control without paying for it hourly
- • New LFMC applicants preparing their submission pack.
- • Recently-licensed managers standing up the first 90 days of live compliance.
- • Established LFMCs who want a lighter, more defensible day-to-day workflow.
- • Single- and multi-family offices operating under s.13O / s.13U.
- • Directors who want a defensible paper trail without a full retainer for every task.
We spent a lot of time watching fund managers pay senior-consultant rates for work that had become mostly repetition — the same reminders, the same drafts, the same forms. The judgement matters. The typing doesn't. Rook is the tool we wished existed: something that keeps the calendar, keeps the paper trail, and puts the MAS text one query away — so directors can focus their attention where it actually counts.
