ALL AML Shield® – protects your organisation against money laundering and terrorist financing risks
Investment funds understand that a solid anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) compliance program adds value also from a strategic perspective.
Given that funds are often unable to meet the complex regulatory AML/CFT requirements in-house, outsourcing of the AML/CFT function may be a favourable solution.
ALL AML offers external money laundering officer services as well as individual bespoke AML/CFT compliance services under the umbrella of ALL AML Shield®. Our offering is delivered by a specialised and experienced team of experts.
ALL AML is chosen by investment fund managers who value our thought leadership, demand high professional standards in money laundering prevention and want to implement their AML compliance in partnership with experienced specialists.

KYC due diligence

Following an optional gap analysis we can manage remediation of any investor portfolios that have not yet been analysed in depth. We take care of the mandatory risk-screening, risk classification and documentation.
Compliance support services
If you would like to extend your AML compliance program to include a screening of your investments (KYI) – for example with regard to reputational risks such as environmental social governance (ESG) due diligence on founders, management, co-investors or the portfolio companies themselves – you have come to the right place.
Good reasons for AML compliance with ALL AML
ALL AML delivers the required services to a high standard and focuses its efforts on what is important
Given the heterogeneity of investors, KYC should not be taken lightly. Identifying red flags that may be associated with individual investors is fundamental to any AML/CFT compliance program. Getting it right makes all the difference. In cases that require clarification, it is important to carry out the necessary risk-based research, conduct an adequate assessment and risk classification, and develop an action plan for risk mitigation and monitoring.
Money laundering regulation
Industry standards and best practice
Environmental Social Governance (ESG)
“ALL AML helps us feel securely positioned to meet the increasing regulatory requirements for the prevention of money laundering from the EU and the German Money Laundering Act.”
Dr. M. Bader, Q21 Capital
Money laundering regulation
Investment funds are obliged to conduct risk-based customer due diligence and to implement control measures. Compliance with these obligations is monitored and enforced by the national regulator.
The ALL AML team is always on top of the latest regulatory developments, ensuring its Clients are prepared for when regulatory updates (the EU´s AML package) come into force. We also consider the impact of related regulatory development on our Client’s AML/CFT regime. This includes topics such as ESG regulation (e.g. the EU Whistleblowing Directive) as well as GDPR and information security (e.g. the EU´s Digital Operational Resilience Act – DORA).
Above all, it is the fund industry itself that is establishing money laundering prevention with the aim of leading the way with best practices.
Dr. Carsten Giersch
Managing Director, ALL AML GmbH
Best
practice
Solid AML/CFT compliance management is currently establishing itself as a competitive factor in the investment industry. Proof of a solid AML/CFT compliance program is often required by
- institutional investors who want to be sure that they are in good company with other investors,
- target funds that want to ensure that the investing fund has checked its investors according to the best practices,
- investors in fintechs – especially involved in crypto – that are concerned about historical cases of fraud and the potential for criminality,
- portfolio companies that value investors who have a good reputation.
In addition to the legal compliance requirements, ALL AML emphasises the connection between compliance and reputation. ALL AML Shield® also protects capital management companies and investment funds against reputational risks and helps you to be recognised as a reliable and competitive partner internationally.
ESG reporting obligations
The EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) requires sustainability criteria to be taken into account in the areas of environmental, social and governance. In the area of governance, i.e. good corporate management, this relates in particular to the prevention of bribery and corruption.
ALL AML Shield meets the required All Crimes Approach that covers all predicate offences to money laundering, including corruption and bribery. ALL AML therefore supports compliance with the ESG criteria and reporting obligations under the SFDR.
