WHY CHOOSE US
We are Trustees and trustees’ obligations are unique. Trustees must act with integrity, protect the assets under management and be proactive at the same time. Legal and ethical standards in managing trusts make trustees extremely vulnerable.
Global Reach, Personalized Service
With a presence and close colleagues in Luxembourg, Malta, New York and Switzerland we serve clients in over 20 jurisdictions, offering tailored strategies for wealth preservation.
Integrity & Transparency
In the world of trustees, loyalty reigns, and loyalty to you comes first. An application is the “no profit” rule. Any commissions or bonuses received by us belong to you.
We are jurisdictionally neutral
Any jurisdiction that you have in mind for residence or a legal structure works for us.
MEET OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT
We are trustees and an independent multi-family office founded in Luxembourg in 1997, with roots in Switzerland and a head office in Malta, valued for its cultural mix, quality of life and regulatory access. Our family office services include all that is required to run your own private family trustee company. We prefer to outsource specialized services related to yachts and superyachts, private equity and securitisation services to more competent trusted partners.
