We entrust your wishes with us and have you call Rwanda home for trust administration. The stability and quality of Rwanda’s Trust Law remains highly attractive to international private wealth clients. Our partner entities across jurisdictions represent the best of the private trust company industry offering a wide range of expertise from simple trusts and underlying company structures, through to high value and complex structures working with trusts, companies, limited partnerships and foundations for international families.
A trust can help preserve your wealth while offering you greater flexibility over the management and distribution of your assets.
The most common type of fiduciary structure is a Trust, a binding arrangement whereby assets are transferred to a “Trustee” who is required to administer the Trust assets for the benefit of specified beneficiaries strictly in accordance with the terms of the Trust.
The provision of Trust services is not a purely mechanical and administrative role. Judgment and expertise are required. Trust law is a complex and demanding area. Our local and global partners and Directors have the requisite legal and accounting infrastructure to maintain a high level of professional expertise when setting up and administering a Trust on your behalf.
Through Antrix licensed Trust and Trustee companies, clients are offered:
- A bespoke service regarding the establishment of a Trust
- Trusteeship and related services
- Administration of Trust funds
- Trust accounting and maintenance of asset ledgers
- Reporting and filing as appropriate
- Advice and guidance
When considering the appointment of a Antrix Corporate Services as your Trust & Trustee service provider, clients should also note the following advantages offered:
- Independence – Our Trustees always act in the best interests of the Beneficiaries of the Trust. We do not compromise that position. Thus, independence from investment, legal or accounting advisors is critical and should be an absolute requirement by persons seeking to establish a Trust.
- Size and substance – Our partner offices and Directors have been providing Trustee Services for over four decades. We are a professionally managed company. Compliance, corporate governance and the pursuit of quality are fundamental to everything we do. Our approach to business and client matters is prudent.
Corporate governance is the system by which companies are directed and controlled. Boards of directors are responsible for the governance of their companies. The shareholders’ role in governance is to appoint the directors and the auditors and to satisfy themselves that an appropriate governance structure is in place.
We monitor emerging trends and regulations on an ongoing basis, ensuring you are better positioned for resilience in the face of potential disruption.
We focus on the 5 principles of Corporate Governance that include: Accountability. Accountability means to be answerable and be obligated to take responsibility for one’s actions, Fairness, Transparency, Independence, and Social Responsibility to build a resilient and strong organization.
We provide tailored and personalized investments solutions through our experienced partners (investment advisors/managers).
As they compete in a cut-throat environment, companies are increasingly divesting themselves of time-consuming, non-core activities to enhance their overall efficiency and profitability.
Each hour spent on back-office tasks is an hour lost to revenue-generating activities. Outsourcing them yields compelling results: lower costs, improved processes and access to a wide breadth of skills. Our fully-integrated administrative and secretarial services are designed to do just that: create maximum value for your company, whether local or international, no matter how large or small.
Our team of professionals combines the latest technologies and data analytics with their experience in law, accounting, taxation, human resources and business to ensure that your business is running smoothly at all times. We are diligent in keeping ourselves up-to-date on the regulations of each jurisdiction so your business remains in good financial and legal standing. Our services include preparing and filing your statutory documents in a timely manner, enforcing a solid governance framework, managing your board meetings and corresponding with local authorities, amongst others.
And as plans for your company progress, we continue working closely with you in a way that complements your unique business style. We simplify your day-to-day operations with ongoing accounting, HR and governance support, and ad-hoc advice on any aspect of your business so that you can focus on your core business.
