Unfunded Trust
Shell structure — dormant until assets are transferred in.
Services
We do one thing well: act as fiduciary trustee. We do not sell investments, insurance, or banking products. That separation is what makes the trustee role meaningful.
We act as the corporate trustee of record for offshore foreign non-grantor trusts established under Kenyan law, holding and administering trust property for the benefit of named and class beneficiaries.
From onboarding and KYC to distribution processing and reporting, we manage the day-to-day relationship with each beneficiary in accordance with the trust deed.
We coordinate with custodians, investment managers, legal counsel, and tax advisors to ensure trust property is held, valued, and reported on consistently.
Where the deed grants discretion, distribution decisions are taken by the trustee board against documented criteria — recorded, minuted, and auditable.
Statutory books, beneficiary statements, and trust accounts are maintained continuously and made available through the secure beneficiary portal.
As a corporate trustee we offer institutional continuity that survives individuals — designed for trusts that must endure across generations.

Three levels of offshore wealth structuring — know where you stand.
Shell structure — dormant until assets are transferred in.
Active structure with operating company — IRS jurisdiction remains.
Foreign-settled, foreign-funded — IRS jurisdiction eliminated at inception.
Important: A U.S.-Settled Offshore Trust cannot be converted into a Gold Standard structure. IRS jurisdictional attachment is permanent from the date of settlement. Gold Standard status must be established correctly from inception — foreign-settled and foreign-funded.
