U.S. trust services

You’ve been thinking hard about how you’re going to safeguard your assets and transfer them to the next generation. For families like yours, that often means setting up a trust. But once you’ve decided on your structure and terms, you have another critical choice: Who will oversee it? That’s where we make a difference. Deep resources and capabilities. Objectivity. Accountability. And a profound commitment to the clients we serve.

How we can help with your trust

Your trustee has a profound responsibility to you as well as to your trust’s beneficiaries. For years, decades or even generations to come. If you want the job done correctly, you need a trustee with the skills of an investor, accountant, administrator and a great communicator—and we believe finding a trustee who checks all of those boxes is a wise investment in your family’s future. Let’s talk about how we can make your intentions real for the people you love and care about.

Depending on where you are, how your assets are structured and your existing trustee relationships, here’s how we can work with you:

Trust administration services

We perform many activities that will extend throughout the life of your trust to ensure that your complete structure is properly administered, including opening financial accounts, managing the complex tax return process, preparing financial statements including trust accounting, and maintaining all trust records.

Trust investment management

We provide investment guidance and portfolio and asset allocation strategy implementation with the goal of growing the assets held in your trust, including taking a holistic approach both to your financial and non-financial assets.

Trust distributions and reporting services

Whether you wish to direct distributions or leave that to our discretion, we will review requests to confirm that the trust agreement is being honored. We also communicate the trust’s performance to co-trustees and third-party advisors regularly.
