Sanctions compliance is evolving, with regulatory expectations now extending beyond entity level checks to include financial instruments. This session explores why instrument level screening has become an essential component of modern sanctions risk management and how financial institutions can build compliance processes that are transparent, scalable, and defensible.

In this session, Marco Dias Roque, Product Director at LSEG Risk Intelligence and Inna Podsekina, Senior Manager, Sanctions Knowledge Management Team examines regulatory drivers, ownership and control considerations, and how sanctions exposure can appear within portfolios, trading workflows, and post trade activities. Attendees will gain clarity on the principles underpinning LSEG’s Sanctioned Securities Data File and how instrument level risk insights support consistent, auditable controls across the investment lifecycle.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Understand why sanctions screening has expanded from entities to financial instruments

• Recognise how ownership, control, and investment restrictions can create hidden sanctions exposure

• Identify where sanctions related risks may surface across trading and investment processes
