Managing Director, Nick Batiste (pictured top), said the listing reflected the firm’s ongoing commitment to client service with it being one of just nine independents ranked as Tier I.

“It is an honour to have once again been listed as a Tier I firm,” he said.

“Client Service is one of the cornerstones of the Saffery Trust ethos; it is at the core of all we do. As an independent trust company, we have the freedom to tailor our services, work in partnership with any specialist advisor, and to consider any asset class, all of which contributes to delivering a top tier service for our clients.”

Saffery Trust opened in Guernsey more than 45 years ago and also has offices in Cayman, Dubai, Geneva, and Zurich.

Mr Batiste added that: “While we are extremely proud of our heritage, we are also at the forefront of adaptability to change. We are always looking to expand our service offering to meet the needs of our clients, which this year included the establishment of our yacht management services. We continue to be a leading firm in the emerging digital asset and cryptocurrency spheres, and our experienced professionals are leading voices in industry publications.

“Our continued recognition as a Tier I firm is a testament to the expertise of our people, the high quality of our network of global specialists and our continued prioritisation of our clients.”
