Our Cayman Trust Company serves as trustee to a number of open and closed-ended unit trusts established in the Cayman Islands. We have a robust fund governance program and are continuously evolving with regulatory and environmental changes impacting the risk profile of our business and clients.
The trustee and depositary teams are functionally separately from our custody, fund accounting, and transfer agency teams in order to ensure independence in meeting the trustee and depositary oversight responsibilities.
We have been looking after our clients’ assets for more than 200 years; a focus that permeates the culture of the firm.
Our people are recognized experts in depositary and trustee servicing, sitting on, or chairing, many industry associations and working groups globally. We are known for our ability to perform our duties across multiple jurisdictions to a consistent set of processes and controls, and are held in high regard by regulators globally.
