信托设立后，其持续管理质量决定了它是否实现创立目标。适当的信托管理要求持牌受托人切实履行受信义务 — 不仅仅是被动持有资产，而是积极管理、报告并按照信托契据和受益人利益进行分配。
What trust administration covers
Fiduciary oversight and decision-making
The trustee acts as legal owner of trust assets and must exercise prudent care, loyalty and impartiality. This includes reviewing investment mandates, approving distributions, maintaining conflicts registers and documenting all trustee decisions by formal resolution.
Asset custody and management coordination
We maintain records of all assets held in trust — whether bank accounts, investment portfolios, company shares, real estate or other property — and coordinate with custodians, investment managers and local agents to ensure assets are properly documented and overseen.
Annual accounts and financial reporting
Preparation or coordination of annual trust accounts, reconciling asset movements, income received and distributions made during the year. Copies are provided to relevant parties in accordance with the trust deed.
Beneficiary communication and distributions
Processing distribution requests, maintaining beneficiary records and issuing distribution letters and confirmations. Where the trust is discretionary, we prepare trustee resolutions documenting the exercise of discretion on each occasion.
Regulatory and compliance obligations
Maintaining the trust's status with the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius, filing CRS/FATCA reports, updating KYC records and ensuring the structure remains in good standing.
Trustee meetings and record-keeping
Preparing trustee meeting agendas and minutes, maintaining the trust file in good order and retaining records in accordance with Mauritius law and FSC guidance.
How ongoing administration works
Onboarding and file review
We review the trust deed and letter of wishes, identify all assets, parties and obligations, and establish a comprehensive administration file and compliance calendar.
Asset reconciliation
All assets are identified, confirmed in the trust's name or under its control, and entered into our administration system. Third-party custodians and managers are notified as required.
Annual compliance cycle
Each year we prepare the trust accounts, obtain updated KYC where required, file CRS/FATCA reports and ensure any regulatory renewals are completed on time.
Event-driven administration
We respond to distribution requests, asset acquisitions or disposals, changes to beneficial interests and any other events during the year, documenting each by trustee resolution.
Periodic reporting to principals
We provide the settlor, protector or principal adviser with periodic summaries of trust activity, asset status and any matters requiring attention.
Key documents and information required
- Executed trust deed and any supplemental deeds or amendments
- Letter of wishes (if any) from the settlor
- Full KYC documentation for settlor, beneficiaries, protector and any other relevant parties
- Schedule of all assets currently held in trust
- Contact details for all investment managers, custodians and advisers
- Details of any pending distributions or trustee decisions
- Most recent trust accounts (where the trust is being transferred from another administrator)
