Spinnaker Trust
Richard E. Curran Jr. established Spinnaker Trust in 2001 after practicing at Pierce Atwood. The firm operates as a multi-family office that embeds legal, tax and investment professionals in one entity. It provides fiduciary services without external product sales pressure. Spinnaker Trust allocates across public equities, hedge funds, private equity, real estate and venture investments. Confirmed holdings include positions in ezCater from 2011 and ongoing commitments to Spinnaker Private Equity Fund II. The firm also manages proprietary real estate funds focused on U.S. markets and maintains an ESG policy that excludes fossil fuels. Geographic exposure centers on North America with additional activity in Northeast U.S. ESOP plans. The firm employs 36 professionals and maintains its headquarters at 123 Free Street in Portland. It operates the Spinnaker Trust Charitable Fund in partnership with the Maine Community Foundation and The Casco Foundation. In August 2025 Spinnaker Trust appointed Tim Kaijala as vice president and deputy chief investment officer. The firm sponsors local events including the Maine Go Red for Women Luncheon and the Bakery Photo Collective. Spinnaker Trust integrates ESOP trustee services for more than 65 plans across New England, a structure that creates direct relationships with operating companies and their employee owners. This trustee mandate sits alongside standard wealth management and distinguishes the firm from pure investment advisors or single-purpose family offices.
