Trust Services
All trust services that our consultants provide are delivered in their capacity as professional fiduciaries. Their approach is solutions-driven, with an understanding and appreciation that the establishment of a family trust may bring conflicts and emotions to the surface.
No trust is effective if it does not serve family unity and stability or that distributes trust assets inequitably. In view of this, our consultants start all trust engagements by developing a deep understanding of family dynamics and relationships. The resulting trust structure will last for decades without fostering any conflict. Our commitment to serving the long-term needs of our clients gives our consultants the wherewithal to negotiate complex decisions, maintain transparent communications with trust beneficiaries, and retain a legacy-driven approach to trust asset management.
Trustee Services
When you appoint a Jakob Fugger-affiliated independent advisor as the trustee for your trust, that advisor will give you that your directions are followed strictly and fully in accordance with your intent as stated in your trust document. Our trust advisors have expertise in the management of commercial real estate, infrastructure investments, private equity and debt, family partnerships, closely-held businesses, and artwork. Our trustees take a proactive approach to disputes among trust beneficiaries with transparent communications and an impartial and committed approach to dispute resolution.
Estate Settlement Services
The estates of high net worth investors are not readily managed and distributed. Those estates often include assets in multiple jurisdictions and with complex holding and ownership structures. Our third-party estate settlement consultants have the professional expertise and diplomatic skills that are needed to settle a complex estate over a lengthy period.
Throughout the settlement of every complex estate, Jakob Fugger's consultants focus on the interest of the estate owner and beneficiaries to complete a fair and equitable resolution of all challenges. They confer with our wealth management advisors to establish real values of a client's assets and rely on other professional services as needed. While Jakob Fugger does not offer legal, tax, or accounting services, our estate settlement experts develop authoritative third-party teams to manage those issues. The result is an unprecedented ability to complete the estate settlement process with maximum efficiency and professionalism.
Agency Partnership Services
When a client needs professional trading advice to manage an extended portfolio, Jakob Fugger can bring in third-party advisors to provide discretionary trading services for the active trading of a portfolio’s debt and equity assets, the management of commercial real estate, and the development and administration of trust structures. As a private, independent wealth advisory firm, we are not burdened by third-party oversight that limits our service offerings in this regard.
Before we recommend any advisors for discretionary trading and asset management, we verify that those advisors have the same commitment to meticulous attention to every detail that is part of our core principles.
