Hadrius, a leading AI-powered compliance platform for investment management firms, has officially announced a strategic partnership with BridgeFT, the cloud-native, API-first wealth infrastructure software company.
According to certain reports, this collaboration is structured to combine BridgeFT’s industry-leading, multi-custodial data platform with Hadrius’ intelligent compliance automation so to provide compliance teams with direct, real-time access of the clean, normalized data required for managing risk, accelerating oversight, and conforming with regulatory movement.
More on that would reveal how the partnership in question will effectively integrate BridgeFT’s WealthTech API with Hadrius’ compliance engine, eliminating manual file transfers, CSV exports, and fragmented integrations.
The idea here is to empower firms across the board to enjoy regulator-ready audit trails, automated trade and portfolio surveillance, as well as continuous oversight, all of it powered by secure, API-level connectivity and Hadrius’ privacy-first AI framework with zero data retention.
“Compliance today is defined by regulatory velocity and data complexity,” said Thomas Stewart, Co-Founder and CEO of Hadrius. “This partnership ensures compliance teams have real-time, custodian-agnostic data flowing directly into Hadrius’ oversight modules. That foundation enables automated surveillance, policy testing, and audit-ready evidence pipelines—without the overhead of manual integrations or the risks of data sprawl.”
Talk about the benefits of this partnership on a slightly deeper level, we begin from a unified data infrastructure. This translates to how BridgeFT will deliver custodian-agnostic investment data directly into Hadrius’ compliance platform.
Next up, we have the prospect of AI-powered oversight. Hadrius’ technology, in essence, is well-equipped to automate surveillance, policy testing, and regulatory reporting with a privacy-first AI framework. Complementing that would be the partners’ focus on generating operational efficiencies, as compliance teams can now reduce their manual workloads and gain real-time insights for risk management.
Hold on, we still have a couple of bits left to unpack, considering we haven’t yet touched upon the availability of audit-ready evidence, something which stems from normalized data streams and defensible records that strengthen exam preparation and regulatory response.
Rounding up highlights would be the combined setup’s future-proof architecture. We say so because API-native design ensures scalability as regulatory requirements and tech stacks evolve.
Founded in 2023, Hadrius’ rise up the ranks stems from changing the compliance landscape through AI oversight and privacy-first architecture. The company’s proprietary technology, for instance, empowers firms of all sizes to proactively mitigate risk, enhance oversight, and boost operational efficiency.
Hadrius’ excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider it is saving companies, at the moment, an average of $35,000 annually and over 19 hours per week.
Turning our attention towards BridgeFT, it makes a case for itself by enabling financial institutions, FinTech innovators, TAMPs, and registered investment advisors to deliver better, data-driven outcomes for their clients. You see, the company’s WealthTech-as-a-Service platform, WealthTech API, enhances wealth management through a rapid, simpler, and cost effective brand of app development and maintenance.
BridgeFT’s is currently trusted by several leading financial services firms and technology companies for powering their digital wealth management ecosystems and automating critical back-office operations to seamlessly align multi-custodial data aggregation, advanced analytics reporting, and application services, delivering truly personalized client experiences.
“BridgeFT is committed to delivering modern, API-first data and application infrastructure that unifies wealth management technology stacks,” said Dave Hagen, Chief Commercial Officer at BridgeFT. “By partnering with Hadrius, we’re extending that capability directly into compliance. Compliance leaders can now leverage accurate, standardized data streams through Hadrius’ AI-powered oversight platform—turning compliance from a manual burden into a strategic advantage.”
