London, 11 November 2026 – Zeidler Group, a global provider of specialist investment funds law, regulatory and compliance services, has announced the launch of DART (Due Diligence and RFP Tool), a new AI-powered solution designed to transform how financial market participants manage and respond to due diligence questionnaires (DDQs) and requests for proposals (RFPs).
Developed in response to client demand and building on the technology behind Zeidler Due Diligence (ZDD), DART addresses one of the most time-consuming challenges facing investment management firms: completing complex, often repetitive questionnaires while coordinating input across multiple departments.
For many firms, responding to DDQs and RFPs remains a highly manual process. Compliance, operations, legal and other internal teams frequently spend considerable time retrieving information, revisiting previously answered questions, coordinating responses and securing approvals. As the volume and complexity of requests increase, these processes can divert valuable resources away from higher-value activities.
DART brings the entire response process into one centralised, collaborative workspace, combining AI-powered automation with structured workflows and human oversight.
At the heart of the solution is its intelligent Autofill capability, which draws on existing internal documents and previously recorded responses to automatically populate DDQs and RFPs. Rather than starting each questionnaire from scratch, users can leverage information already available within their organisation, reducing repetitive work and improving consistency across responses.
Where information is missing or a question cannot be answered automatically, DART clearly identifies the gaps, allowing teams to focus their attention where it is needed most.
Beyond automation, DART enables firms to manage the complete questionnaire lifecycle, from receiving a request and assigning questions to relevant colleagues through to reviewing, approving and returning the completed response.
Key capabilities include:
Serena Goldberg, Chief Commercial Officer at Zeidler Group, commented:
“DART is a direct response to what our clients have been asking us for. Asset managers are under increasing pressure to do more with their existing resources, yet highly skilled teams continue to spend significant time on repetitive administrative processes. We saw an opportunity to change that. By combining AI-powered automation with a practical, collaborative workflow, DART helps firms work more efficiently while maintaining control over their responses. It is another example of how we are translating client feedback into technology that addresses real operational challenges.”
DART builds on Zeidler Group’s established expertise in due diligence and the technological foundations of its Zeidler Due Diligence (ZDD) platform. While ZDD supports firms conducting due diligence on delegates, counterparties and service providers, DART focuses on the other side of the process: helping organisations respond efficiently to the questionnaires and information requests they receive.
Together, the solutions reflect Zeidler’s continued investment in technology designed to simplify due diligence processes across the investment management industry.
Mathilde Stich, Head of Due Diligence at Zeidler Group, added:
“Anyone who has worked on a complex DDQ or RFP knows how much time can be spent gathering information, following up with colleagues and answering questions that the organisation has already addressed many times before. With DART, we wanted to eliminate as much of that repetitive work as possible. The AI prepares responses using existing information and highlights where further input is required, while teams retain responsibility for reviewing and approving the final answers. The result is a more structured, collaborative process that allows people to focus on the questions that genuinely require their expertise.”
The launch of DART marks a further expansion of Zeidler Group’s growing suite of AI-powered regulatory and compliance technology solutions, reinforcing its commitment to helping financial market participants simplify complex processes, improve operational efficiency and make better use of internal expertise.
