Saffery Champness has once again been listed as one of the Top 25 Trust Companies in eprivateclient’s ultimate rankings.
Eprivateclient, an online publication for leading private client professionals, introduced the rankings seven years ago in order to celebrate the largest and most successful private client-centric advisory businesses.
The ‘Top 25 Trust Companies’ list, based on a survey of more than 100 UK and UK offshore trust companies, is nomination-based and is judged on a number of factors including the total number of staff employed, the number of client facing directors and trust officers and the number of offices from which they operate.
Saffery Champness Registered Fiduciaries is one of the largest independent providers of fiduciary services in Guernsey, having provided clients with estate planning, wealth protection, investment structuring and corporate services for nearly 40 years. The firm, which employs more than 140 staff, 125 in Guernsey and 21 in Geneva, also has expertise in the family office arena as well as offering fund administration and audit, assurance and taxation services.
This month has also seen the firm win the ‘independent trust company’ award at the 2016 WealthBriefing European Awards and ‘trust company of the year, institutional’ at the Citywealth Magic Circle Awards.
Managing director of Saffery Champness in Guernsey, Nick Batiste, said: “Continuing to maintain our status as a top tier fiduciary firm is a great accolade for us.
“The continued endorsement from leading publication eprivateclient and the nominations that we have received from contacts and clients can be attributed to the bespoke service we deliver and the high calibre of staff that we employ.”
A champagne reception for all the Top 25 Trust Companies will be held at Gallery Different, London, in June this year.
