Frequently asked questions
Why is the firm domiciled in Bermuda?
Bermuda offers a tax-neutral environment with no corporate income tax, capital gains tax, or withholding tax on investment income. For family offices managing cross-border wealth, this eliminates jurisdictional tax leakage. Bermuda also provides a mature legal framework for trusts and private trust companies, which are common tools for intergenerational wealth transfer and asset protection.
How does the firm's Bermuda structure affect succession planning?
Bermuda's trust law and private trust company regulations allow families to create durable governance structures that survive the lifetime of the founder. A Bermuda-domiciled office can serve as a trustee or investment manager for family trusts that hold assets across multiple jurisdictions, centralizing investment control while respecting the legal requirements of each beneficiary's country of residence.
