Built for Complexity: Local Expertise in Corporate Services

In today’s financial landscape, complexity is a constant. Regulatory frameworks are evolving, investor expectations are rising, and cross-border transactions are becoming increasingly sophisticated. For international companies and financial institutions operating across Ireland, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom, the need for precise, jurisdiction-specific corporate services has never been greater.

At Cafico International, we are an experienced, independent trust and corporate services provider, delivering tailored solutions to clients operating within structured finance, capital markets, alternative investments, aircraft finance and international outsourcing sectors. Our local focus and operational depth enable us to support clients with the establishment and administration of legal entities and transaction structures across key European jurisdictions.

Our team are experts in the establishment and administration of Special Purpose Vehicles (“SPVs”), supporting a wide range of transaction types across a number of asset classes, including securitisations, structured finance, alternative lending platforms and asset-backed arrangements. We ensure that SPVs are established in accordance with local legal and tax requirements and administered with full transparency and regulatory compliance.

As of May 2025, Cafico International was granted authorisation by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (“CSSF”) to provide fund administration and transfer agency services in Luxembourg. Our fund administration offering is designed to support complex portfolio strategies and multi-tiered fund structures. As an independent service provider, we deliver operational excellence through robust processes that prioritise accuracy, confidentiality and responsiveness. Our approach is aligned with the expectations of both our clients and relevant regulatory authorities, ensuring high standards of service delivery across every engagement.

We also offer AML/KYC screening services, ensuring that onboarding and ongoing compliance obligations are met in line with local and EU requirements.

Looking Ahead

As regulatory developments such as SFDR Level 2, SEAR in Ireland, and AIFMD II in Luxembourg reshape compliance obligations, firms must ensure their structures and reporting frameworks are fit for purpose.
