In today’s unpredictable world, protecting what you’ve worked hard to build has never been more important. Whether it’s family wealth, business assets, or long-term investments, many people are looking for a structure that offers both security and flexibility, without unnecessary complexity.
One solution that continues to stand out for global clients is the Nevis Trust. Known for its strength, privacy, and practical design, it offers a modern approach to wealth protection that’s both reliable and adaptable to changing circumstances.
A Jurisdiction with Strength and Stability
The island of Nevis, part of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, has earned an excellent reputation in the world of international finance. Over the past few decades, it has built a robust legal framework designed to protect individuals and families from undue risks, creditor claims, and intrusive litigation.
The Nevis International Exempt Trust Ordinance is one of the strongest of its kind. It provides a clear legal foundation that supports trustees and safeguards settlors and beneficiaries, giving clients peace of mind that their assets are secure, wherever life may take them.
Why the Nevis Trust Works So Well
A Nevis trust isn’t just about moving assets offshore; it’s about building long-term protection with clarity and control.
Some of its key strengths include:
- Strong asset protection: Creditors must go through the Nevis court system to make a claim, posting a significant bond before they can even begin. This discourages frivolous or opportunistic lawsuits.
- Short limitation periods: Claims must be brought quickly, typically within two years, providing certainty and closure.
- Flexible structure: The trust can be tailored to your goals, whether that’s preserving family wealth, holding business interests, or planning for future generations.
Balancing Privacy and Transparency
Privacy matters, but so does trustworthiness. Nevis strikes the right balance.
There’s no public register of trusts, which means personal information about settlors, beneficiaries, and assets remains confidential. Yet Nevis also adheres to international compliance and anti-money-laundering standards, so clients benefit from both discretion and legitimacy.
A Modern Tool for Global Families and Businesses
At HPT Group, we see clients using Nevis trusts in a variety of ways:
