1° Can you outline the history and activity of your company in a few words?

Cascade was born out of the founders’ firsthand experience of running businesses subject to AML/KYC regulations in Luxembourg and the associated challenges of meeting ever increasingly complex compliance requirements.

Failing to identify a suitable platform addressing the AML/KYC challenge for small and mid-sized companies, Cascade was founded. The concept being to offer an end-to-end AML platform, designed to structure client data and deliver a comprehensive AML and compliance framework, ensuring strong regulatory protection.

Cascade quickly grew internationally as the challenge is universal. Today we serve over 110 clients with users across more than 25 jurisdictions. We are a global Regtech 100 firm and listed within the top 50 companies addressing Financial Crime.

2° You have recently decided to join L3A - what are the key reasons behind this?

Fund and corporate administrators have played a key role in Cascade’s development, as it represents a significant portion of our client base.

Our membership in the L3A Association reflects our commitment to supporting an industry that has been instrumental to our growth. It also allows us to maintain an ongoing dialogue with L3A members, better understand their challenges and needs, and continue delivering solutions that are tailored to this market.

3° What do you believe you can offer to L3A and the alternative administrator provider ecosystem ?

Decades of AML operational experience within Luxembourg’s alternative funds industry.

Cascade’s founders bring extensive expertise from their roles as Managing Directors of ManCo’s in Luxembourg, MLRO/RC’s, etc. They are trusted industry professionals with a deep knowledge of fund and corporate related administration.

In addition, their experience as directors of a leading technology company, recognized as a RegTech and FinTech of the year, adds a strong technological perspective, enabling a forward-looking and innovative approach to AML and compliance challenges.

4° What do you see as the greatest opportunities offered by Luxembourg in the alternative

Luxembourg’s position as a leading hub for alternative investment funds, combined with its strong regulatory framework and deep industry expertise, creates significant opportunities for administrator providers. Increasing regulatory complexity represents a challenge and is driving demand for automation, including in the AML/KYC process related to client onboarding, Risk Assessment, Sanction Screening etc.. etc… The industry must continue to maintain rigorous standards and take the necessary digitalization route, as there is no other way guaranteeing long term success and competitive edge.
