AIFM · LITHUANIA

We are Your EU Gateway —
Investment Managers (AIFM)

Lithuania's setup costs are 50–80% lower than Luxembourg. Authorization in 4–6 months, not 9–18.

Three Reasons to Act

01

AIFMD II: The End of Reverse Solicitation

The loophole that allowed non-EU managers to passively engage EU investors has been systematically dismantled. AIFMD II (Directive EU/2024/927) is enforceable across all 27 EU member states from April 2026. The Article 30a "similar strategy" clause retroactively voids reverse-solicitation defenses.

02

AlterDomus, Checkout.com, Robinhood — They Chose Lithuania

The back office of the world's largest fund administrator is already in Vilnius. Lithuania is a NATO/EU member with proactive regulators and the highest density of fintech licensees in the EU per capita.

03

4–6 Months. Fixed Fee. Bank of Lithuania.

Lithuania's setup costs are 50–80% lower than Luxembourg. Authorization in 4–6 months, not 9–18. Sub-threshold AIFM registration available for managers under €100M — the fastest route to EU market access.

FAQ

About CAML — FAQ

Common questions from prospective clients about scope, timelines, and pricing.

What does CAML actually do?

We are an outsourced AML compliance team for EU-licensed financial institutions and fund managers. Outsourced AML teams, Fractional MLRO, AML audits, MiCA and AIFM authorization. We also advise regulated companies about their AI Compliance tool integrations and assess their DORA compliance to match compliance software with both productive outcomes and the regulatory guidelines.

How is CAML different from a Big 4 audit firm?

Speed, focus, and price. We do not advise on tax, or M&A — we only do AML, MiCA, Governance and AIFM. Fixed fees. Senior staff. No partner-level handoffs.

What does an AML audit cost?

From €8,000 for a small EMI/PSP to €45,000 for a complex CASP or AIFM. Audit fees can be either fixed or work as per hybrid-fee model scoped within 48 hours after an initial discovery call.

Do you work with non-EU clients?

Yes — most of our AIFM and MiCA clients are based in the US, Canada, UAE, Asian or UK. Our deliverable is the EU-licensed entity in Lithuania with a Compliance team to ensure appropriate enforcement measures in accordance to the ESMA & EBA Guidelines.

Can CAML serve as our outsourced MLRO?

Yes. CAML appoints senior MLROs to clients under formal regulatory designation. Each MLRO is pre-screened, with a passed background check, and trained to fit the client compliance infrastructure. Additional manager is added for the 4-eye Quality assurance and replacement during normal absence events (vacation, illness, etc.) thus ensuring non-stop service.
