Overview
Kharon was founded in 2016 by former senior officials of the US Treasury’s terrorism and financial intelligence office and is based in Denver, Colorado[34]. It sells risk analytics for sanctions, financial crime, supply chain, export control and investment risk through ClearView, an API and data products[33].
ClearView is used to examine multi-layered ownership structures and trace unlisted blocked entities under the OFAC 50 percent rule, and to surface ownership, control and other relationships, including for issuers in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau[33]. Every fact and relationship is cited to sources that Kharon’s analysts have verified, and Dynamic Exposure Scores weight each relationship by type, direction and distance[33]. A Monitor feature lets users save and track individuals and entities, and the Kharon API exposes the data to internal systems[33].
Kharon’s ownership data is built around sanctions and export-control exposure rather than general beneficial-ownership identification for every company, and its pages state no company counts or country coverage. Prices are not published. It suits banks, insurers, asset managers and exporters that need to know whether an entity is owned or controlled by a restricted party.
