Companies & Partnerships

The building blocks for an enduring wealth management structure.

Companies and partnerships are used as holding or owning vehicles for asset management, asset protection and certain special purpose financial structures. They are sometimes used on their own (directly owned by individuals) but more commonly are combined with other vehicles to form a financial structure. A simple, frequently used example is a discretionary trust holding one or more companies, each for a specific purpose. Each company might hold a particular asset or asset class – perhaps the family home or business, an investment property or portfolio, or even an art collection. Separation of assets often provides more effective protection as well as greater flexibility.
