The work repeats
Board packs, policy reviews, AML/CFT work, filings and audit requests return on schedule, even when the operating team is small.
For Luxembourg-regulated AIFMs
Rootcaves helps smaller teams manage recurring obligations, evidence, approvals, board packs and audit-ready records in one compact operating layer.
Soft automation prepares the work. The CO reviews, decides and signs off.
GOOD MORNING
Two items need judgement. Everything else is watched and recorded.
AML/CFT · CO review
AMLA self-assessment — confirm three figures
Prepared from the working record. The CO reviews the exception; the evidence trail stays attached.
The fit
Smaller regulated funds face many of the same review cycles, filings and audit expectations as larger operators. They need discipline without unnecessary system weight.
Board packs, policy reviews, AML/CFT work, filings and audit requests return on schedule, even when the operating team is small.
Documents sit in one place, evidence in another, approvals in email and deadlines in someone's head. The coordination tax becomes the work.
Rootcaves prepares, reminds, drafts and records. It does not take the compliance seat. The CO reviews, decides and signs off.
The point is not to create a second operating department. It is to make recurring preparation, evidence collection and approval visible before they become urgent.
The scope
Rootcaves stays deliberately contained: obligations, evidence, deadlines, documents, approvals and the audit trail.
The fund's recurring obligations are mapped once, then carried through deadline, evidence, review and sign-off.
CSSF · AML/CFT · AIFMDEvidence is attached to the obligation it supports, so audit preparation does not have to be rebuilt from memory.
Evidence · Approval historyInvestor onboarding, risk tiers and screening sit in the same working record as the related AML/CFT obligations.
Onboarding · ScreeningBoard packs, CO reports, policy reviews and letters start from the record, not a blank page or last quarter's file.
Board pack · CO reportFiling dates, board windows and policy cycles surface early, with context attached and consequences visible.
Filing · Review windowsRegisters, resolutions, versions and approvals remain traceable without asking the team to manage a heavyweight stack.
Registers · Audit trailCO workspace
The CO workspace brings forward the few things that need judgement. Everything else stays watched, recorded and easy to inspect.
Review items come forward with plain-language context. Handled work stays visible without creating noise.
Preparation, missing evidence and CO sign-off are separated, so the team knows what actually needs action.
Regulatory map
Rootcaves does not replace the CO, RR/RC, counsel or auditor. It gives recurring compliance work a source-mapped operating layer and keeps the human approval point explicit.

Policies · Review cyclesHow it fits
No big transformation programme. No second department to administer.
Use the documents, spreadsheets and stores already in place. Rootcaves organizes the compliance record around them.
Obligations, deadlines, evidence expectations and approval points are mapped for the fund structure.
Rootcaves prepares drafts, watches deadlines, surfaces exceptions and records sign-off. The CO remains the decision point.
Human-approved automation. Useful where work repeats. Quiet where judgement is needed. Narrow enough for smaller teams to live with.
