Last Updated: October 17, 2025
Coventry Management (“Coventry Management”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and regulatory compliance. As part of this commitment, we have implemented robust Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) and Know Your Client (“KYC”) policies and procedures designed to prevent our services from being used for money laundering, terrorist financing, or other financial crimes.
This policy outlines the principles and practices we follow to comply with applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
- Regulatory Commitment
Coventry Management complies with all applicable AML and KYC laws, regulations, and guidelines, including those issued by relevant regulatory authorities and international standard-setting bodies.
We actively monitor regulatory developments and continuously update our internal controls to ensure ongoing compliance.

Our AML and KYC framework is designed to:
- Verify the identity of our clients
- Understand the nature and purpose of client relationships
- Assess and manage risks associated with financial crime
- Detect and report suspicious activities

Before establishing a client relationship, and on an ongoing basis where required, we conduct identity verification procedures.
