Trustee Services
As a FINMA-licensed trustee, Ebco Trustee Services administers a broad range of trust structures across multiple jurisdictions. Our role goes beyond legal administration; we coordinate with the client’s investment managers, tax advisers, and legal counsel to ensure the trust operates effectively as part of a wider wealth structure.
We act as trustee for both Swiss-domiciled structures and internationally recognised trusts governed by foreign law, including common law jurisdictions. All mandates are managed with full independence.
Our practices
- Discretionary Trusts: The trustee holds full discretion over distributions to beneficiaries, adapting the management of trust assets to changing circumstances over time.
- Fixed Trusts: Beneficiaries' interests are determined by the settlor in the trust instrument, with no discretion reserved to the trustee in the distribution of assets.
- Purpose Trusts: Structures with no individual beneficiaries, used to achieve defined objectives — philanthropic, commercial or otherwise — within a structured and supervised framework.
- Asset Holding Trusts: Used to hold shareholdings and other investment assets within a transparent, regulated structure that simplifies governance and reporting.
- Guarantee Trusts: Employed in debt restructuring or dispute contexts to secure financial obligations under trustee oversight.
- Liquidation Trusts: Used to hold and administer residual assets during corporate wind-down or pending resolution of disputes.
