Saffery Trust has retained its Tier I status in the 2023 eprivateclient Top Independent Trust Company list.
The annual rankings are compiled taking several factors into account, including reputation, quality of service and the extent of the firm’s global offering.
With highly qualified and experienced teams in Cayman, Dubai, Geneva, Guernsey and Zurich, Saffery Trust is one of just nine independent firms ranked as Tier I.
Managing Director, Nick Batiste (pictured), said the listing reflected the firm’s ongoing commitment to client service.
He explained: “It is an honour to have once again been listed as a Tier I firm. Client Service is one of the cornerstones of the Saffery Trust ethos; it is at the core of all we do. As an independent trust company, we have the freedom to tailor our services, work in partnership with any specialist advisor, and to consider any asset class, all of which contributes to delivering a top tier service for our clients.”
Saffery Trust is one of the largest and most established independent firms in Guernsey, having opened its office over 45 years ago.
Nick added: “While we are extremely proud of our heritage, we are also at the forefront of adaptability to change. We are always looking to expand our service offering to meet the needs of our clients, which this year included the establishment of our yacht management services. We continue to be a leading firm in the emerging digital asset and cryptocurrency spheres, and our experienced professionals are leading voices in industry publications.
“Our continued recognition as a Tier I firm is a testament to the expertise of our people, the high quality of our network of global specialists and our continued prioritisation of our clients.”
