Private Wealth Structuring In The BVI

Harneys Fiduciary has a long standing history of advising High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) on how to hold their wealth. The type of structure will, to a large extent, depend on the nature of the assets and the client's objectives but typical considerations are asset protection, succession, confidentiality and tax efficiency.

The rise in the number of global HNWIs has seen an increase in demand for lifestyle assets such as yachts, art work, prime real estate and private jets.

Structures range from simple probate avoidance trusts to more bespoke multi-generational family governance structures which combine trading businesses with commercial and private investments in various asset classes. These structures will usually contain holding companies, trusts and private trust companies (PTCs).
