Cascade

Family offices managing multi-generational structures across jurisdictions face a specific compliance burden: mapping beneficial ownership, running periodic reviews, and maintaining audit-ready files across trusts, holding companies, and related entities, all while preserving the client experience that defines private wealth relationships. Cascade, founded in Luxembourg and built for one of Europe's most demanding AML jurisdictions, addresses this directly with a platform that runs KYC and AML workflows from onboarding through ongoing monitoring in a single system.

For family office compliance teams, the platform's practical differentiators include:

• Beneficial ownership mapping with visual organograms across trusts, corporates, and multi-generational family structures
• Daily name screening against LSEG World-Check, Dow Jones, and Acuris Risk Intelligence, with alerts surfaced inside the platform rather than via manual exports
• White-labeled digital onboarding portals for collecting client documents and data without third-party software
• Automated document expiry alerts and periodic review scheduling
• BI reporting via Power BI integration for customised regulatory and internal dashboards
• FATCA and CRS handling built into the workflow

Cascade is used by Stonehage Fleming, a prominent multi-family office, which cites the platform's ability to define a risk-based approach across assets and counterparties while monitoring first-line-of-defence performance. The platform runs on Microsoft Azure and claims deployment timelines of two to six weeks, with flat subscription pricing and unlimited users, which positions it as a cost-accessible alternative to enterprise-grade competitors. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires direct engagement. Australian Tranche 2 entities are a current market focus, with local support delivered through a partner. Firms outside Luxembourg, the UK, Switzerland, or Australia may find less localisation support for their specific regulatory frameworks.
