Eprivateclient, the online publication for private client professionals, has released its 2018 Top Trust Companies list, which features several Channel Island-based operators.
Introduced nine years ago, the list surveys 100 trust companies across the UK and Crown Dependencies to determine the major fiduciary service providers for private clients. The rankings are based on data for areas such as number of client-facing directors, number of client-facing trust officers/managers, total number of staff and fee income.
The 2018 list ranks 36 firms in three tiers, based on reputation, quality of service and how the firms have fared in the past 12 months.
