Trust Companies

Firm Overview

Butterfield has been in the business of establishing and administering fiduciary structures for our clients since the advent of international trust legislation more than 80 years ago, and delivers services to international clients through independent companies based in Bermuda, The Caribbean (The Bahamas and the Cayman Islands), Guernsey, Singapore and Switzerland, which together have responsibility for USD 131.1 billion in assets. Butterfield operates as a genuinely independently minded fiduciary specialist but benefits from the financial strength, substance and disciplines of the Butterfield Group.
