We’re Combatting Financial Crime
While financial systems have the power to improve lives, they can also enable
harmful activities like terrorism, trafficking, and corruption. At American Investment Trust, we have a unique chance to
promote sustainable growth in our markets, which also gives us a crucial role in fighting financial crime.
Our Leadership in the Fight
We are strengthening our defenses through rigorous compliance and fostering a culture
where combating financial crime is integral to our daily work. Our efforts extend beyond our organization. We collaborate
with banks, governments, and regulators worldwide to elevate industry standards and create innovative methods to thwart criminals.
