KALESO Group
KALESO Group began in 2015 when three partners left larger fiduciary platforms to form a boutique focused on client governance and administration. Roger Frick and Stéphane Masson had co-founded Kendris in 2005; Magdalena Gomes built the Latin American administrative practice. The structure serves families and their offices across Europe, North America and Latin America. Services center on trust formation, corporate directorships and succession planning. The firm states it avoids asset management and audit work to eliminate conflicts. Geographic reach includes Switzerland headquarters plus Miami and Panama offices. No specific portfolio holdings or co-investments appear in public materials. Team size and deployment figures remain undisclosed. Recent operational footprint shows continued presence in three Swiss cities plus the two Americas offices. Memberships include the Swiss Association of Trust Companies and the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners. The ownership remains with the founding partners and their named successors, creating a flat governance model without external capital or fund vehicles.
