Investec Trust (Jersey) Limited provides and administers offshore structures, especially trusts and companies, and has a dedicated legal team to assist clients with their individual needs. Generally, trusts drawn up under Jersey law are designed to suit clients’ requirements for inheritance and tax planning purposes.
Investec Trust also has offices in Guernsey, Switzerland (Geneva) and Mauritius, with a team of professionals that includes lawyers, accountants and company secretaries.
Over recent years, Investec Trust acquired Guinness Flight in Guernsey, Theodores in Jersey and Radcliffes in Geneva, as part of its strategy to build a trust business focused on structuring, managing and protecting assets for private clients. Each office maintains its independence in order to supply a flexible and unique service for every client, but also benefits from the financial security, continuity and accountability of being part of the Investec group.
The Investec Trust network also allows the different global jurisdictions to leverage the knowledge and benefits of its sister branches – for example, the extended network of double tax treaties available in the newly opened Mauritius office – while maintaining local client focus.
