Zeidler Group, an AI-native law firm and technology-driven compliance services provider serving the global asset management industry, has announced the upcoming launch of Autofill 2.0, a new enhancement to its Zeidler Due Diligence (ZDD) platform aimed at speeding up the completion of due diligence questionnaires (DDQs).
The update builds on ZDD’s existing artificial intelligence capabilities by allowing delegates, vendors and other counterparties to upload external documents, including due diligence packs, policies and supporting materials, which the platform then analyses to automatically populate questionnaire answers. Rather than filling in questionnaires from scratch, users can instead review and sign off on the pre-populated responses.
The enhancement is intended to reduce the time vendors and counterparties spend completing questionnaires, whilst giving fund managers shorter response turnaround times and better visibility over outstanding information during the due diligence process.
In cases where a counterparty is unwilling or unable to complete a bespoke questionnaire, fund managers can upload available documentation directly, with the platform identifying which questions have been addressed and which still require follow-up. Responders will also gain access to a centralised document repository, allowing them to control which clients can view specific materials while keeping data strictly segregated across the platform.
Zeidler Group is a technology-driven law firm and compliance services provider focused on transforming legal, regulatory and reporting workflows for the asset management sector. Its ZDD platform offers a structured digital environment for managing vendor and counterparty due diligence across fund managers’ global distribution and service provider networks.
Autofill 2.0 forms part of the company’s continued development of the ZDD platform, which enables asset managers to distribute, track and review DDQs whilst maintaining regulatory oversight and a clear audit trail.
Zeidler Group head of Zeidler Due Diligence Mathilde Stich said, “Autofill 2.0 is an important step in our ongoing effort to make the due diligence process more efficient for both our clients and their counterparties. By enabling questionnaires to be populated directly from existing documentation, we are reducing manual effort while maintaining the structured oversight that fund managers require.”
Zeidler Group EVP of product & services Serena Goldberg said, “Autofill 2.0 reflects our broader commitment to embedding intelligent automation across Zeidler Group’s asset management solutions. By enhancing the AI capabilities within ZDD, we are helping clients manage growing due diligence demands more efficiently while maintaining the oversight and control required in today’s regulatory environment.”
