Welcome

Salamanca Group Trust & Fiduciary is a global trust and fiduciary business administrating and overseeing over US$10 billion financial and non-financial assets on behalf of wealthy families around the world.

Our Trust & Fiduciary business was established in the mid 70’s in Jersey and Geneva and extended to Mauritius in 2003. Our team has grown to over 100 employees comprising of qualified lawyers, STEP members, chartered accountants and experienced practitioners.

In 2014 we joined Salamanca Group so as to broaden our capabilities to provide Private Office services to support the evolving needs of our select client base.

Whether we are establishing new bespoke structures or assuming responsibility for the ongoing administration of existing structures, we dedicate time to establishing a long-term relationship. This relationship is at the heart of everything we do. With over 100 employees dedicated to the Trust & Fiduciary business we are a boutique provider which is able to demonstrate critical mass in each of the three jurisdictions in which we operate.

Our experience in working with families means that we recognise the unique nature of each family’s circumstances taking into account that they can evolve over time, sometimes through choice and sometimes as a consequence of unplanned events. Although these circumstances cannot be prevented, by establishing and administering structures and providing estate planning services, we are able to prepare for and manage these circumstances as and when they arise.

We are a truly independent and privately owned Trust & Fiduciary group that services the estate planning and structuring needs of international families.

We are not investment managers, we do not lend money, we do not take deposits and we do not provide any form of legal or tax advice. We work with international entrepreneurs, families and family offices to enable you to administer, grow and protect wealth for yourself and your future generations.

We provide a comprehensive trustee, fiduciary and corporate service from Jersey, Geneva and Mauritius. Thanks to our 40 year existence and the hereditary nature of many of our structures, our team works in conjunction with second and third generations of a family.

We protect and administer your wealth for peace of mind and the benefit of future generations

Our approach

Whether your reason is one, or several, of the below, we strive to understand your particular needs from inception and work in tandem with international advisors to help design and implement bespoke, relevant and compliant solutions:

— To structure assets in a tax efficient and compliant manner. This may include structuring a foreign direct investment, purchasing real estate around the world, structuring international remuneration, passing wealth or holding wealth for the next generation

— To save time and draw on the expertise of dedicated professionals who support and administer complex portfolios of assets and investments (both financial and non-financial in nature)

— To retain privacy by keeping affairs outside the public domain and allowing beneficiaries to inherit wealth and retain their confidentiality

— To manage wealth distribution after a person’s lifetime through estate and succession planning

— To ensure a family business, or another wealth generating asset, becomes a family legacy held for future generations to enjoy and benefit from

— To help manage the transition process between multiple generations by transferring wealth to individuals without giving them full control of assets

— To reduce security concerns for either yourself or your family if you reside in a country which is subject to political, social and economic instability. These concerns can be especially prevalent if substantial wealth is held personally

— You are, or have family members who are, considering moving to, or currently live in, a foreign country

— To protect wealth from potential future legal claims and unforeseen circumstances, thereby reducing the potential impact on your family/your future wellbeing and financial security

Once we understand a family’s needs and have identified the most suitable fiduciary solution, we help to establish the structure and arrange the transfer of the assets. From the moment we hold the assets in a fiduciary capacity, we, as the legal owners, work with you and your advisors to implement a robust estate and business succession plan.

We are responsible for the implementation, administration and management of an array of entities including trusts, private trust companies, foundations, partnerships, companies, family offices, philanthropic entities, employee benefit trusts and escrow arrangements.

Once the structure is established, we take care of the day-to-day administration of the assets it holds, managing sales, acquisitions and other transactions relating to them, as well as sitting on the boards of any companies in the structure. In addition, we provide a consolidated picture of your assets and their performance. Using our skills and expertise, we help to plan and implement both short-term and long-term goals and aspirations for these structures.

Increasingly we are asked to apply our knowledge and experience of owning assets as a fiduciary to assets held by alternative providers or by family members directly. Our experience in holding complex assets in a number of jurisdictions is an invaluable administration resource for families to ensure ownership is clear, correct monitoring of financial investments, consolidated reporting, assets are appropriately insured and held in strategic institutions and specialist advice is properly implemented.

We have experience holding and managing a wide variety of assets including:

Investment portfolios

Commercial real estate and development projects

Residential real estate

Private / family company shares

Private equity investments

Carry interests and co-investment rights

Intellectual property

Yachts

Artwork and antiques

Bloodstock

Next steps

We welcome the opportunity to discuss your family’s estate planning needs and are happy to explain the process of either establishing a new fiduciary structure, transferring an existing structure or providing professional services in relation to assets held outside our fiduciary structures.

Upon understanding these needs, we will work with your existing advisors to help finalise a course of action and source the required legal and tax advice. If you do not already have advisors in place we can make introductions to advisors we know well and who are experts in this area.

All the advisors we work with are independent to the Group and have a proven track record in advising international high net worth families in relation to the planning and implementation of a bespoke cross border estate plan. The Group does not and is not able to provide any form of legal or tax advice.

Should you wish to establish a new structure, appoint us as a successor service provider, or discuss any of the wider services on offer, then please do not hesitate to contact us.
