Institutions & trusts

As a trustee, we understand that you have additional responsibilities when it comes to investing trust assets. We’re specialists in helping trustees navigate their role and make responsible, well-informed decisions.

Your guiding hand and support network

Trustees are bestowed with some unique and sometimes daunting responsibilities, and it can be a tough field to navigate. We understand you may have certain requirements to fulfil in your role, and that this can be a difficult balancing act – perhaps you have ethical investment strategies to adhere to, or capital reservation needs. Whatever your situation, we can help.

We’re here to assist you in your initiatives, alleviate the pressure and provide the peace of mind your institution needs for the future. We’ll work with you to identify your unique requirements, then build a robust financial plan that enables you to reach your goals. We’ll employ one of our outsourced investment specialists to implement our plan and monitor it regularly to ensure things stay on track.

Whether you’ve recently been through a change of circumstances, are looking for an improvement in portfolio performance, or you’re completely new to this scenario, we’re here to be your trusted advisers and support you throughout.

Here’s how we’ll help

  • We’ll help you gain a full understanding of your role and ensure you feel comfortable with your options and responsibilities.
  • Together we’ll coordinate a carefully-considered approach towards making the right decisions for your trust.
  • We’ll work closely with professional connections such solicitors and accountants to provide a joined-up, holistic approach.
  • Whatever your needs, we’re here to be your trusted partners throughout – so you can always feel confident in your actions and the future of your trust.
