The Middle East is home to a growing number of high-net-worth
families with diverse and often complex wealth management and
estate and succession planning needs. As families in the region
focus on preserving their legacies and planning for the next
generation, innovative structures like the Private Trust Foundation
(PTF) offer an ideal solution. Combining the best aspects of
Guernsey Trusts and Foundations, a PTF provides a tailored approach
to managing and safeguarding wealth in alignment with the
region's unique cultural, financial, and legal
considerations.
What is a Private Trust Foundation?
A Private Trust Foundation is a hybrid structure where a
Guernsey Foundation acts as the trustee for a Guernsey Trust. This
innovative arrangement combines the flexibility, confidentiality,
and tax efficiency of a trust with the legal personality,
governance, and control offered by a foundation.
