Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy

Last Updated: December 1, 2024

Introduction

The phrase "money laundering" covers all procedures to conceal the origins of criminal proceeds so that they appear to originate from a legitimate source. Wealth Vision ("Company") aims to detect, manage and mitigate the risks associated with money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The Company has introduced strict policy aimed at the detection, risk prevention or mitigation in respect of any suspicious activities performed by customers.

The Company is required to constantly monitor its level of exposure to the risk of money laundering and the financing of terrorism. We believe that if we know our client well and understand their instructions thoroughly, we will be better placed to assess risks and spot suspicious activities.
