Reduce what you ask without reducing what you collect
Entity type, jurisdiction, tax status, and ownership structure decide which sections each investor sees. An individual is never asked about beneficial owners, and a fund is never asked to upload a passport. Compliance teams set that logic once in a visual editor. It then applies to every investor automatically.
Documents first, forms second
Investors upload the corporate documents they already hold. Steward extracts the data, pre-fills the workflow, and shows which document each value came from. Investors confirm rather than retype, which is where most onboarding stalls.
Signed, screened, and ready for review
Subscription documents are signed in place. Identities and entities are verified, screening runs, and a risk score is produced. All of it happens before the investor reaches a reviewer, who opens a complete case instead of chasing three missing documents.
Redefined investor onboarding
Build investor journeys in a visual editor, where each section appears only when entity type, jurisdiction, or investment structure calls for it.
Extract entity, ownership, and tax data from the documents investors already hold, pre-filling the workflow and flagging anything missing or inconsistent.
Capture shareholders, directors, trustees, and beneficial owners with the evidence each role requires, then collect subscription and signatures in the same flow.
Keep a timestamped record of every value an investor uploaded, the document or source it came from, and the reviewer who accepted it.
Investor onboarding as part
of a complete AML program
Steward's onboarding workflows feed directly into KYC verification, KYB, screening, risk scoring, and ongoing monitoring. Onboarding is where compliance data is collected once and reused, not a separate front end on a compliance tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about investor onboarding on Steward. Can't find the answer you're looking for? Get in touch with our team.
Yes. Each fund, share class, or investor type can have its own workflow. Within a workflow, sections appear conditionally, so an individual and a layered holding structure see entirely different journeys from the same link.
