Ansbacher’s UK Fiduciary Team has been shortlisted for the Private Client Awards, Trust Company Team of the Year by The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP). The STEP Awards consider private client solicitors, accountants, barristers, bankers and trust practitioners who compete in a mature and competitive market.
The Ansbacher UK Fiduciary team was a small start-up operation begun in 2004. Since then the team has doubled in size, managing relationships for fiduciary clients from a London base with trust administration carried out offshore in the Bahamas, Jersey and Switzerland. The particular benefit of the Ansbacher fiduciary team is its promise to be constantly available to clients and flexible to their needs. This offering has been responsible for attracting significant new trust clients to Ansbacher’s fiduciary companies worldwide including success in taking over existing family structures from some of the larger trust companies.
The team are also breaking new markets, leveraging Ansbacher’s Middle East expansion, by developing innovative Shari’a compliant trust solutions.
“We are delighted to be shortlisted,” says Matthew O’Keefe, Ansbacher Head of UK Banking and Fiduciary. “The team has been determined to set ourselves apart from other trust companies by our pro-activeness and commitment to swift decision making. We are thrilled that that this has been recognised by STEP”.
The winners will be announced at an award ceremony on 26 September 2006.
