About

Provided by Butterfield

Singapore is a leading Asian wealth-planning centre, recognised for political stability, strong rule of law and a modern trust framework. Its common-law foundation, regulated trust sector and clear foreign trust administration rules make it attractive to families across the region. World-class financial services and global connectivity further support its role as a base for long-term fiduciary planning.

Our wealth-structuring services include trusts and foundations for asset protection, estate and succession planning, charitable giving and intergenerational wealth transfer, supported by governance, compliance and accounting.

Family-office services cover tax and estate planning, alternative-investment administration, consolidated reporting, entity governance and multi-jurisdictional operations.

We establish and administer charitable foundations, private funds and impact-investment strategies aligned with clients’ values and long-term objectives.

Our teams also structure and administer luxury and complex assets, including yachts, aircraft, artwork, classic cars and country estates.

Corporate and institutional services include entity incorporation and management, employee benefit trusts, retirement plans, director services and customised fiduciary and administrative arrangements.
