Carne

Tracey McDermott: I was the first employee when the company was established in Luxembourg in 2006. That was in the UCITS III era, when governance was becoming a hot topic. At that time, we were two people, compared with 30 people now serving the Luxembourg market.

What makes Carne stand out?

Lydie Bini: So you can always find someone in the group, who has already solved the problem you are facing and is willing to share their experience. When you ask a question, you get feedback immediately.

How do you see the future?

Pascal Dufour: Rather than selling a set of fixed services, our approach is to work closely with our clients creating value for them by reducing risk, removing complexity and addressing pain points. That is why we have actively invested so heavily in our business to-date and will continue to focus on long-term investment strategies. Our IT infrastructure is an important component of this investment, as it adds that extra layer of security and reassurance for our clients and allows us to do the job efficiently.

Steve Bernat: The management team has taken a strategic decision to remain independent, so that our client’s needs and requirements can continue to drive our business rather than any short-term financial rewards. We are proud of the business we have created and we have a long-term commitment to that business, to Luxembourg as a domicile and most especially to our clients.
