CAPITAL TRUSTEES SA
Via Francesco Somaini 10, 6900 Lugano
Bleicherweg 50, 8002 Zurich
Capital Trustees AG is a privately owned Swiss trustee company licensed by FINMA (Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority) and the first licensed trustee among the members of the SATC (Swiss Association of Trust Companies). We have extensive experience in acting as trustee and providing Swiss trustee and Private Trust Company (PTC) solutions for clients from Latin American countries or the United States, or for clients having ties to these regions.
Focusing on providing trustee services and deliberately not engaging in asset management activities, we distinguish ourselves by our independence and lack of conflicts of interest. Through our skilled team of inhouse trust lawyers, accounting, compliance, and IT experts, we stand for added client confidentiality. We regularly collaborate with family advisors, especially for complex trust and family governance setups involving PTCs or family advisory committees.
Our trusts are governed by a wide variety of governing laws and as trustee we accept all asset classes (for example: bankable assets, participations, collectibles, real estate or digital assets).
We will be pleased to introduce ourselves and explore if and how we can support and collaborate with you to achieve your or your client’s succession and wealth planning goals.
