COMPLY Launches COMPLY for Endowments to Help Institutions Navigate Regulatory Risk, Governance Oversight and Emerging Asset Classes

NEW YORK, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — COMPLY, the leading provider of regulatory technology compliance solutions for the financial services industry, today announced the launch of COMPLY for Endowments, an intuitive software offering purpose-built to help university, nonprofit, and foundation investment offices strengthen governance, ensure transparency, and demonstrate fiduciary responsibility in an era of heightened scrutiny, budget uncertainty, and operational complexity.

Backed by the same proven software trusted by more than 5,000 financial services clients, COMPLY for Endowments delivers institutional-grade compliance infrastructure with a flexible UX/UI that supports and scales in-house teams as their responsibilities grow, without sacrificing accuracy or control.

Built for Today’s Complex Endowment Environment
Public institutions are operating in a uniquely charged environment, facing pressure from lawmakers, donors, students, and other stakeholders to deliver transparency and demonstrate responsible stewardship. At the same time, many are embracing nontraditional investment strategies, including digital asset gifts, that introduce new compliance risks and require clear governance.
