Basis
What it is
Basis is a paid web platform for setting up and operating funds globally. It covers investor onboarding, capital calls, distributions, reporting, statements, register management, reconciliation, capital-account tracking, NAV workflows, and an investor portal. Onboarding can handle W-9 or W-8 series certificates, sanctions and PEP screening with ongoing monitoring, plus English- and Spanish-language workflows. Basis’s AI drafts operational actions as proposals; a named human must approve them before execution. Connecting Claude lets users ask fund questions and create proposals, but Claude cannot approve. Basis says its AI does not compute tax, value assets, or send investor communications. The platform does not custody investor funds. Optional settlement supports USDC alongside wires and SWIFT, while tokenization mirrors register positions to permissioned tokens without replacing the legal register. Records can be exported in open formats without an exit fee. Pricing is on request, with listed fixed-fee diagnostic and launch plans.
