Silver Regulatory Associates Launches AI Governance Program for Investment Advisers in Partnership with Clarier
NEW YORK, NY — Silver Regulatory Associates (Silver), a regulatory compliance, sustainability and cybersecurity advisory firm serving investment advisers, including hedge funds, private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) sponsors, asset managers, as well as broker-dealers, today announced a strategic partnership with Clarier, the AI governance platform for investment managers. The partnership, delivered through Silver’s AI Governance Program, gives investment advisers, hedge funds, PE/VC sponsors and portfolio companies a combined compliance and technology solution for discovering, approving and documenting AI application usage across their organizations.
As AI adoption accelerates across the investment management industry, regulators and allocators alike are asking firms to have audit-ready evidence when it comes to AI oversight. The AI Governance Program pairs Silver’s regulatory compliance expertise with Clarier’s platform for discovering AI applications in use, tracking spend and generating audit-ready documentation. Together, the offering is designed to help firms answer regulator exam requests and allocator due diligence with a defensible record of their AI program.
“Every client conversation we have about AI ends up in the same place: they know their employees are using these tools, but they don’t have an efficient way to track usage. Clarier gives us the system of record we’ve been missing. We can finally pair our regulatory framework with real-time visibility into what’s actually running behind the scenes,” said Mike Regan, Director of Cybersecurity Compliance at Silver.
Through this partnership, Silver clients will have access to Clarier’s platform to inventory AI applications in use, run vendor trust reports and maintain a continuous evidence log, while Silver’s compliance team provides the regulatory framework, policy documentation and advisory support to interpret and act on that data.
“Silver understands the regulatory pressure facing RIAs and alternative investment managers better than anyone we’ve worked with. Pairing our platform with their advisory expertise means clients get both the system and the judgment to use it well. That combination is what turns AI governance from a checkbox into something defensible,” said Adam Pfefer, Founder & CEO of Clarier.
The AI Governance Program is now available to Silver clients looking to enhance their AI oversight initiatives.
