Introduction

Welcome to the future of Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

As I think yoursquoll see our standards are getting even high-

er as more and more companies really demonstrate that

theyrsquore willing able and eager to work with advisors on your terms

Since The Trust Advisor started tracking these firms a few years

ago the industry has changed a lot Trust officers who once scorned

the idea of working with advisors have realized that trying to com-

pete with you for client loyalty has become a race to the bottom

As a result just about everyone in the business wants to be known

as ldquoadvisor friendlyrdquo these days There isnrsquot room in this guide for all of

them so simply promising to welcome directed and delegated trusts

is no longer enough to ensure a place in this suddenly exclusive club

A true Advisor-Friendly trust company now

needs to provide more than a vague promise and

an adequate solution It needs to have what it takesto participate in a real inner circle of forward-think-

ing service providers with the technology and the

human resources to produce better outcomes for

you and your clients

The 30 firms profiled here run the gamut from

niche start-up to established giant Yoursquoll see high

tech boutiques fiercely independent players and

affiliates of some of the biggest financial institu-

tions in the country Most major jurisdictions are

represented for those looking to ensure that their clients have the

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Competition for high-net-worth accounts has never been fierc-

er Every advisor in the US is on the hunt for wealthy clients

looking to provide the best mousetrap and service offering for

their clients In the process it goes without saying that high wealth ac-

counts mean trust services Todayrsquos wealthy families are not willing to settle for someone who

will simply manage their portfolios or give them a template for a finan-

cial plan Theyrsquove learned to use the Internet and they know there are

all-in-one firms that can give them tax advice insurance estate plan-

ning philanthropy wealth transfers to future generations and more

Your clients want a holistic approach with specialized expertise

They demand a financial advisor who will not only act as a go-between

to the markets but as a guardian of every aspect of their financial lives

And as it happens one of the top items on their wish list is the

ability to create and use trusts

You might be reluctant to give your clients that ability Until

recently putting wealth into trust made enormous financial

sense for an investormdashas a shield against taxes nuisance law-

suits and in some ways even mortalitymdashbut it also spelled financial

hardship for the advisor

The problem stems from the fact that while advisors can do many

things on their own running a trust is not one of them Teamwork is

almost a necessity and for too long few if any trust companies wereteam players

An individual can run a trust but the complexity and fiduciary

burden make it difficultmdasheven unwisemdashfor an advisor to do so At

this point the SEC has ruled that any advisor who wants to serve as

What ldquoAdvisor-FriendlyrdquoMeans

Trust as Competitive Edge

Separating the ldquoFriendlyrdquo from the Rest

To be considered advisor-friendly a trust company needs to be able to

pledge that it will cooperate with you not compete against you Unlike

captive trust departments that exist to give their corporate parentsmdash

usually wealth managers or banksmdashaccess to your clients these com-

panies have unbundled their wealth management offering and can

simply sell trust administration as a separate service

The difference is vast Conflicts of interest are eliminated Very few ofthese companies could take over active management of your clientsrsquo

trust assets if they wanted to so yoursquore able to stay right where you are

carrying the ball and earning the glory

What does aTrust Company Do

trustee or trust administrator will face expensive and onerous audits

As a result a third party needs to be identified to serve as trustee

Given the complexity of the task this will often be a specialized cor-

porate entity a trust company or bank trust department

Once again as far as the trust and its creators are concerned this

can be a terrific solution The corporate trustee has the resources and

the expertise to manage the paperwork meet the filing deadlines

and bear the fiduciary burdenmdashbut in the past the advisor almost

always got squeezed out of the relationship

To make things worse trust companies built in-house investment

departments as a way to expand their own revenue while others

evolved as captive affiliates of banks or even rival brokerage firms For

all practical purposes moving client money into a trust managed by

one of these entities meant handing a prize account to a competitor

Todayrsquos trust industry is still full of companies that compete di-rectly with advisors for control of the assets but thankfully their

dominance is nowhere near as complete as it was Progressive trust

companies recognize that investments are best handled by invest-

ment advisors and that the trust administration business is enough of

a challenge in its own right

Much like independent advisors these companies are not be-

holden to outside corporate interests They rarely if ever have propri-

etary investment products to sell or commissions to capture Very few

will insist on taking custody of the trust assets although many will do

so if the trust creator or his or her advisor wants

And thanks to innovations in the trust code in many states these

companies are happy to let the advisor keep investing the assets and

collecting the management fees From the advisorrsquos perspective only

the clientrsquos satisfaction level changes

Agood advisor-friendly trust company should be invisible to

your clients Still the administration function is critical and

should not be taken for granted Above all you should think

twice before letting any client or a clientrsquos family member serve as

trustee much less agree to do so yourself

The trustee is the person or corporate entity that manages the

trustrsquos affairs in order to ensure that it achieves the goals set by its cre-

ators This is a fiduciary role and as such the penalties for failure are

clear-cut and severe

Many otherwise financially sophisticated people can be bogged

down by trust administration issues deadlines and procedures Your cli-

Whatrsquos Important to You

ents already know what you do to manage their money but the trustee

relationship is likely to be new and somewhat outside their experience

Because you will be the primary point of contact for clients you

must have a basic understanding of the primary duties of the corpo-

rate trustee and any trust officers assigned to handle their trusts

Non-discretionary tasks are not optional These include making

income payments monthly quarterly annually or as otherwise direct-

ed by the trust Trustees must also pay out principal as set forth in the

trust and attend to all other matters the trust directs Tax and other

filing deadlines must be met in full

Any additional duties or instructions explicitly called for in the

trust documents must be carried out

Discretionary tasks give the trustee more margin for personal

interpretation If the trust is silent on an issue the trusteersquos fiduciary

duty may require him or her to make discretionary decisions For ex-ample a trust may indicate that the trustee can make principal pay-

ments ldquoafter considering other sources of income available to the

beneficiaryrdquo in which case the trustee should demand extensive doc-

umentation from the beneficiary before making a decision

Many trust officers also perform miscellaneous activities on be-

half of the beneficiaries as part of their overall ethic of service even if

these tasks are not explicitly mandated in the trust itself

The Trust Advisorrsquos audience includes some of the highest-pow-

ered professionals in the industry so wersquore always eager to hear

what you have to say about what you want from a service partner

Not surprisingly most of you want to open up your business to

support trusts for very sim-

ple reasons a wider offering

makes it easier to court new

clients encourage existing re-

lationships to trust you with

more of their assets and gener-

ate more revenue on every dol-

lar of AUM on your platform

your platform

A full 82 of our readers say finding a trust company they can

recommend to their best clients has translated into new relationships

enhanced account retention or both Thatrsquos it Itrsquos a pure business de-

cision and the numbers speak

for themselves

In terms of which trust

achieve those goals you are all

about testimonials A reader

survey we ran in June 2013 re-

vealed that 80 of you say reputation and length of time in business

are the most important factors in picking a partner Only 22 are look-

ing for the lowest-price solution What does this mean Advisors look

for testimonials and case studies to prove that a potential partner canback up its claims That kind of information is hard to get from a web-

site so yoursquoll probably need to pick up the phone even if our Trust Advi-

sor Concierge does most of the legwork for you in advance

Once you make the calls yoursquoll have a much better idea of a trust

companyrsquos standing in the industry and whether it would be a good fit for

your clients If that side of the company passes muster yoursquove made clear

that even a tiny boutique vendor may be worth a few basis points more

Itrsquos not hard to figure out why most advisors are leery of referring

their clients to any trust company without a firm promise that

those accounts wonrsquot be poached

Herersquos the problem Trust assets rarely move They often stick with

the trust company For this reason unfriendly trust companies have

an opportunity to leverage that relationship to take assets away from

the advisormdashand they tend to do so

The solution is to find a partner that not only promises not to

prospect your clients away but lacks either the motive or the oppor-

tunity to even try Many of the trust companies that cater to invest-

ment advisors and their clients have a strong incentive not to com-

pete for assets for the simple reason that they donrsquot have in-house in-

vestment departments They couldnrsquot manage these portfolios if they

tried Others actively cultivate relationships that formally prevented

them from interfering with the way the trust assets are invested

In a directed trust the trustee is legally required to follow the in-

vestment directives of an outside advisor who maintains a close rela-

tionship with the portfolio and the clients Every single one of the trust

companies we consider extremely advisor-friendly go out of their way

to support directed trusts From their perspective itrsquos enough to ad-

minister the trust and leave the job of investing its property to others

And needless to say if theyrsquore content to administer the trust

theyrsquore equally content to leave the rest of your clientsrsquo assets alone

Adirected trust is an arrangement that allows you the advisor

to hand off the responsibility and burden of administering a

trust to an outside corporate trustee but retain control over

how the assets are invested

Obviously for most advisors finding the right partnering trust

firm may not be a simple task For most advisors finding the right di-

rected trust relationship is the ldquosweet spotrdquo between spending to run

a trust business in-house and turning the business away The breakthrough came in the 1990s when some states altered

the rules to allow the creators of a trust to direct the trust company to

follow the investment choices of an outside advisor

As far as the portfolio is concerned the advisor (you) is boss The

advisor earns the management fees The trust company earns its own

fee for handling everything else accounting custody (if required) re-

porting and payments to the beneficiaries

If the IRS needs to inspect the books the trust company handles

it If one of the people named in the trust documents has a special

request the trust company handles it

Since both trustee and investment advisor are thus free to do

what they do best this aligns the interest of all service providers with

the grantors and beneficiaries themselves

Some states welcome both directed and delegated trusts Others

only support one or the other While the words look similar the

nuances are important

The creator of a directed trust takes the job of managing the as-

sets from the trustee and assigns it to someone else This generally lets

the existing wealth manager keep on doing what he or she is doing

while releasing the trustee from all but the most basic responsibilities

over how the money is invested

Delegated trusts give the trustee the power to decide who will

manage all or some of the assets In this kind of relationship the trust-

ee remains responsible for overall performance and will monitor the

outside managerrsquos activities to ensure that all parties meet their fidu-

Location Is Everything

ciary obligations While many advisors naturally prefer to have the trustcreator direct management powers to them some clients may prefer

to leave the ability to delegate with an independent trust company

which then chooses the advisor and monitors investment decisions

After all an advisor who is willing to let the trust company keep

tabs on performancemdashor risk being firedmdashdemonstrates that the cli-

entrsquos long-term interests come first A confident professional has noth-

ing to hide and little to gain from insisting on locking in control of the

assets even if his or her competence is questioned

And directed advisors can be removed in extremis so insisting on

direction does not necessarily buy anyone additional security

Review the difference with your clients and ask them which ar-

rangement they prefer Emphasize that you can work with their deci-

sion in any event

You may have noticed that this paper refers to ldquosomerdquo states

ldquomostrdquo states and so on Location is everything in the trust

business

Not all US states support all of the major types of trust that your

clients may need and in fact some experts consider only a handful

of trust havensmdashAlaska Delaware Nevada and South Dakotamdashto be

really top-tier places to create and run a trust

However anyone from any state can set up a trust in any jurisdic-

tion so no advisor should feel constrained by whatrsquos available at home

Recent trends have led wealthy families and individuals to

seek out the most favorable environments for their assets Because

of this many large family offices are opting for maximum flexibility

New to Us Not New to the Business

As you search these pages for the perfect trust partner yoursquoll notice

our inner circle falls into two camps the established fixtures of the

independent trust company movement and the names who are rela-

tively new to the advisor-friendly club Itrsquos important to point out that

while some very well-established industry bellwethers have only dem-

onstrated that they have what it takes in the last year they often have

decades if not centuries of expertise driving their operations

Every company we profile has provedmdashsometimes for multiple years

in a rowmdashthat it can work with advisors to get better client results

Thatrsquos our primary criterion and thatrsquos why you should at least glance

at every name in this book The names may be new to you but they

have clients and partners you can reach out to for recommendations

and testimonials

when the time comes to decide where to set up the new trust

Even if the prospective trust grantor doesnrsquot need a particular tax

benefit or class of protection at the moment these advisors know

that circumstances change And since multiple generations may be

part of the equation the trust must be able to evolve with the familyrsquos

needs Because of this many advisors look for a combination of fac-

tors when searching for a trust company

n Perpetuities Conventional trusts can expire a few decades

or maybe a century after the original grantor dies but many

states allow property to remain in trust for many generations

longer than the standard state and in some cases forever These

perpetual trusts or dynasty trusts are a very popular technique

for planners and clients today

n Favorable tax rules Avoiding state income or capital gains tax

is another key objective for planners to achieve for their clients

Alaska Florida Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington and

Wyoming do not impose an income tax on trusts Delaware does

not impose an income tax on trusts if the income or capital gains

are accumulated or distributed to non-resident beneficiaries

n Asset protection Some states offer varying degrees of protection

for locally domiciled trusts from the trust creatorrsquos creditors

While the language can be so vague as to be useless in court

jurisdictions like Nevada and South Dakota have a rich body of

statutes in place designed to shield property from legal claims

n Total return trusts Many states have enacted total return trust or

power-to-adjust statutes Trustees in these states can now invest

based on a total return approach and satisfy beneficiaries who

receive either a share of current income or the principal at a later

date Most states with total return trust legislation have the ability

to convert a trust to a unitrust percentage between 3 and 5

n Delegation Needless to say you want a trust provider that

operates in a state that allows an outside advisor to manage

the portfolio But this is not quite as intuitive as it initially seems

Review state statutes permitting segregation of duties to make

sure that the trustee will provide exactly the level of supervision

you find comfortable -- neither more nor lessn Privacy Most states have methods for insuring that fiduciary

matters will not be a matter of public record although some are

stronger than others However state laws differ on beneficiariesrsquo

entitlement to trust information and only a few states allow

a trust instrument to delay or prohibit disclosure of trust

information to future beneficiaries

Once you have your search narrowed to one or two states it is

time to find the right trust company to work with

Remember you want a partner that keeps its in-house

investment unit mdashif anymdashaway from your clients They should not be

trying to sell your clients proprietary investment products but theyshould have the capability to support any investments that you might

recommend now or in the future

Look for a corporate trust company that can provide evidence of

n Years of experience in administering trusts

n Specialization in trust administration custody and fiduciary tax

reporting services

n Knowledge of changes in the directed trust space and the trust

environment

n Dedication to fiduciary responsibility

n Insurance coverage against fiduciary errors and omissions

n Staff continuity

n Examination by internal auditors and external regulators

n Focus on the best interest of all beneficiaries both current and

future while implementing trust provisions

n An aversion to ldquointerpretingrdquo or adding to the trust documents in

order to divine the wishes of the creator

n State-of-the-art technology

n A reporting and accounting platform that supports both your

custody platform and all assets that will go into the trustn Established partnership relationships with multiple team members

Shopping for a Partner

How To Shop Words to Watch

As you put together a short list of trust companies that may be a good fit

for your clients remember that diversification is key Just as every one of

your clients is different and has unique needs many of the best provid-

ers are generalists who excel in a niche or two or are outright specialists

Learn to recognize the jargon that differentiates one trust company

from another so you can build a balanced team of potential partners

Some are geared toward self-directed IRAs and other pure hands-offcustody and administration Provident and Kingdom come to mind in

this yearrsquos group Others like New York Private and Premier shine when

it comes to classic directed trust where trust officers and advisors work

more closely together

Some of your clients will want to create trusts that favor one group or the

other If possible cultivate relationships with at least a few from either side

of the bench to give your clients the best pool of options to work with

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Introduction

Welcome to the future of Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

As I think yoursquoll see our standards are getting even high-

er as more and more companies really demonstrate that

theyrsquore willing able and eager to work with advisors on your terms

Since The Trust Advisor started tracking these firms a few years

ago the industry has changed a lot Trust officers who once scorned

the idea of working with advisors have realized that trying to com-

pete with you for client loyalty has become a race to the bottom

As a result just about everyone in the business wants to be known

as ldquoadvisor friendlyrdquo these days There isnrsquot room in this guide for all of

them so simply promising to welcome directed and delegated trusts

is no longer enough to ensure a place in this suddenly exclusive club

A true Advisor-Friendly trust company now

needs to provide more than a vague promise and

an adequate solution It needs to have what it takesto participate in a real inner circle of forward-think-

ing service providers with the technology and the

human resources to produce better outcomes for

you and your clients

The 30 firms profiled here run the gamut from

niche start-up to established giant Yoursquoll see high

tech boutiques fiercely independent players and

affiliates of some of the biggest financial institu-

tions in the country Most major jurisdictions are

represented for those looking to ensure that their clients have the

best protection in the country

Itrsquos an elite group And once again if yoursquod like some complimen-

tary vendor-neutral help picking a partner The Trust Advisor Concierge

is still staffed by people who can filter out obviously unsuitable com-

panies with just a little guidance from you then put you in touch with

only the people most likely to make a good fit

They know these companies better than anyone else If yoursquod like

to try out the Concierge now just skim the next few pages to figure

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Competition for high-net-worth accounts has never been fierc-

er Every advisor in the US is on the hunt for wealthy clients

looking to provide the best mousetrap and service offering for

their clients In the process it goes without saying that high wealth ac-

counts mean trust services Todayrsquos wealthy families are not willing to settle for someone who

will simply manage their portfolios or give them a template for a finan-

cial plan Theyrsquove learned to use the Internet and they know there are

all-in-one firms that can give them tax advice insurance estate plan-

ning philanthropy wealth transfers to future generations and more

Your clients want a holistic approach with specialized expertise

They demand a financial advisor who will not only act as a go-between

to the markets but as a guardian of every aspect of their financial lives

And as it happens one of the top items on their wish list is the

ability to create and use trusts

You might be reluctant to give your clients that ability Until

recently putting wealth into trust made enormous financial

sense for an investormdashas a shield against taxes nuisance law-

suits and in some ways even mortalitymdashbut it also spelled financial

hardship for the advisor

The problem stems from the fact that while advisors can do many

things on their own running a trust is not one of them Teamwork is

almost a necessity and for too long few if any trust companies wereteam players

An individual can run a trust but the complexity and fiduciary

burden make it difficultmdasheven unwisemdashfor an advisor to do so At

this point the SEC has ruled that any advisor who wants to serve as

What ldquoAdvisor-FriendlyrdquoMeans

Trust as Competitive Edge

Separating the ldquoFriendlyrdquo from the Rest

To be considered advisor-friendly a trust company needs to be able to

pledge that it will cooperate with you not compete against you Unlike

captive trust departments that exist to give their corporate parentsmdash

usually wealth managers or banksmdashaccess to your clients these com-

panies have unbundled their wealth management offering and can

simply sell trust administration as a separate service

The difference is vast Conflicts of interest are eliminated Very few ofthese companies could take over active management of your clientsrsquo

trust assets if they wanted to so yoursquore able to stay right where you are

carrying the ball and earning the glory

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

What does aTrust Company Do

trustee or trust administrator will face expensive and onerous audits

As a result a third party needs to be identified to serve as trustee

Given the complexity of the task this will often be a specialized cor-

porate entity a trust company or bank trust department

Once again as far as the trust and its creators are concerned this

can be a terrific solution The corporate trustee has the resources and

the expertise to manage the paperwork meet the filing deadlines

and bear the fiduciary burdenmdashbut in the past the advisor almost

always got squeezed out of the relationship

To make things worse trust companies built in-house investment

departments as a way to expand their own revenue while others

evolved as captive affiliates of banks or even rival brokerage firms For

all practical purposes moving client money into a trust managed by

one of these entities meant handing a prize account to a competitor

Todayrsquos trust industry is still full of companies that compete di-rectly with advisors for control of the assets but thankfully their

dominance is nowhere near as complete as it was Progressive trust

companies recognize that investments are best handled by invest-

ment advisors and that the trust administration business is enough of

a challenge in its own right

Much like independent advisors these companies are not be-

holden to outside corporate interests They rarely if ever have propri-

etary investment products to sell or commissions to capture Very few

will insist on taking custody of the trust assets although many will do

so if the trust creator or his or her advisor wants

And thanks to innovations in the trust code in many states these

companies are happy to let the advisor keep investing the assets and

collecting the management fees From the advisorrsquos perspective only

the clientrsquos satisfaction level changes

Agood advisor-friendly trust company should be invisible to

your clients Still the administration function is critical and

should not be taken for granted Above all you should think

twice before letting any client or a clientrsquos family member serve as

trustee much less agree to do so yourself

The trustee is the person or corporate entity that manages the

trustrsquos affairs in order to ensure that it achieves the goals set by its cre-

ators This is a fiduciary role and as such the penalties for failure are

clear-cut and severe

Many otherwise financially sophisticated people can be bogged

down by trust administration issues deadlines and procedures Your cli-

Whatrsquos Important to You

ents already know what you do to manage their money but the trustee

relationship is likely to be new and somewhat outside their experience

Because you will be the primary point of contact for clients you

must have a basic understanding of the primary duties of the corpo-

rate trustee and any trust officers assigned to handle their trusts

Non-discretionary tasks are not optional These include making

income payments monthly quarterly annually or as otherwise direct-

ed by the trust Trustees must also pay out principal as set forth in the

trust and attend to all other matters the trust directs Tax and other

filing deadlines must be met in full

Any additional duties or instructions explicitly called for in the

trust documents must be carried out

Discretionary tasks give the trustee more margin for personal

interpretation If the trust is silent on an issue the trusteersquos fiduciary

duty may require him or her to make discretionary decisions For ex-ample a trust may indicate that the trustee can make principal pay-

ments ldquoafter considering other sources of income available to the

beneficiaryrdquo in which case the trustee should demand extensive doc-

umentation from the beneficiary before making a decision

Many trust officers also perform miscellaneous activities on be-

half of the beneficiaries as part of their overall ethic of service even if

these tasks are not explicitly mandated in the trust itself

The Trust Advisorrsquos audience includes some of the highest-pow-

ered professionals in the industry so wersquore always eager to hear

what you have to say about what you want from a service partner

Not surprisingly most of you want to open up your business to

support trusts for very sim-

ple reasons a wider offering

makes it easier to court new

clients encourage existing re-

lationships to trust you with

more of their assets and gener-

ate more revenue on every dol-

lar of AUM on your platform

your platform

A full 82 of our readers say finding a trust company they can

recommend to their best clients has translated into new relationships

enhanced account retention or both Thatrsquos it Itrsquos a pure business de-

cision and the numbers speak

for themselves

In terms of which trust

services provider can help you

achieve those goals you are all

about testimonials A reader

survey we ran in June 2013 re-

vealed that 80 of you say reputation and length of time in business

are the most important factors in picking a partner Only 22 are look-

ing for the lowest-price solution What does this mean Advisors look

for testimonials and case studies to prove that a potential partner canback up its claims That kind of information is hard to get from a web-

site so yoursquoll probably need to pick up the phone even if our Trust Advi-

sor Concierge does most of the legwork for you in advance

Once you make the calls yoursquoll have a much better idea of a trust

companyrsquos standing in the industry and whether it would be a good fit for

your clients If that side of the company passes muster yoursquove made clear

that even a tiny boutique vendor may be worth a few basis points more

Itrsquos not hard to figure out why most advisors are leery of referring

their clients to any trust company without a firm promise that

those accounts wonrsquot be poached

Herersquos the problem Trust assets rarely move They often stick with

the trust company For this reason unfriendly trust companies have

an opportunity to leverage that relationship to take assets away from

the advisormdashand they tend to do so

The solution is to find a partner that not only promises not to

prospect your clients away but lacks either the motive or the oppor-

tunity to even try Many of the trust companies that cater to invest-

ment advisors and their clients have a strong incentive not to com-

pete for assets for the simple reason that they donrsquot have in-house in-

vestment departments They couldnrsquot manage these portfolios if they

tried Others actively cultivate relationships that formally prevented

them from interfering with the way the trust assets are invested

In a directed trust the trustee is legally required to follow the in-

vestment directives of an outside advisor who maintains a close rela-

tionship with the portfolio and the clients Every single one of the trust

companies we consider extremely advisor-friendly go out of their way

to support directed trusts From their perspective itrsquos enough to ad-

minister the trust and leave the job of investing its property to others

And needless to say if theyrsquore content to administer the trust

theyrsquore equally content to leave the rest of your clientsrsquo assets alone

Adirected trust is an arrangement that allows you the advisor

to hand off the responsibility and burden of administering a

trust to an outside corporate trustee but retain control over

how the assets are invested

Obviously for most advisors finding the right partnering trust

firm may not be a simple task For most advisors finding the right di-

rected trust relationship is the ldquosweet spotrdquo between spending to run

a trust business in-house and turning the business away The breakthrough came in the 1990s when some states altered

the rules to allow the creators of a trust to direct the trust company to

follow the investment choices of an outside advisor

As far as the portfolio is concerned the advisor (you) is boss The

advisor earns the management fees The trust company earns its own

fee for handling everything else accounting custody (if required) re-

porting and payments to the beneficiaries

If the IRS needs to inspect the books the trust company handles

it If one of the people named in the trust documents has a special

request the trust company handles it

Since both trustee and investment advisor are thus free to do

what they do best this aligns the interest of all service providers with

the grantors and beneficiaries themselves

Some states welcome both directed and delegated trusts Others

only support one or the other While the words look similar the

nuances are important

The creator of a directed trust takes the job of managing the as-

sets from the trustee and assigns it to someone else This generally lets

the existing wealth manager keep on doing what he or she is doing

while releasing the trustee from all but the most basic responsibilities

over how the money is invested

Delegated trusts give the trustee the power to decide who will

manage all or some of the assets In this kind of relationship the trust-

ee remains responsible for overall performance and will monitor the

outside managerrsquos activities to ensure that all parties meet their fidu-

Location Is Everything

ciary obligations While many advisors naturally prefer to have the trustcreator direct management powers to them some clients may prefer

to leave the ability to delegate with an independent trust company

which then chooses the advisor and monitors investment decisions

After all an advisor who is willing to let the trust company keep

tabs on performancemdashor risk being firedmdashdemonstrates that the cli-

entrsquos long-term interests come first A confident professional has noth-

ing to hide and little to gain from insisting on locking in control of the

assets even if his or her competence is questioned

And directed advisors can be removed in extremis so insisting on

direction does not necessarily buy anyone additional security

Review the difference with your clients and ask them which ar-

rangement they prefer Emphasize that you can work with their deci-

sion in any event

You may have noticed that this paper refers to ldquosomerdquo states

ldquomostrdquo states and so on Location is everything in the trust

business

Not all US states support all of the major types of trust that your

clients may need and in fact some experts consider only a handful

of trust havensmdashAlaska Delaware Nevada and South Dakotamdashto be

really top-tier places to create and run a trust

However anyone from any state can set up a trust in any jurisdic-

tion so no advisor should feel constrained by whatrsquos available at home

Recent trends have led wealthy families and individuals to

seek out the most favorable environments for their assets Because

of this many large family offices are opting for maximum flexibility

New to Us Not New to the Business

As you search these pages for the perfect trust partner yoursquoll notice

our inner circle falls into two camps the established fixtures of the

independent trust company movement and the names who are rela-

tively new to the advisor-friendly club Itrsquos important to point out that

while some very well-established industry bellwethers have only dem-

onstrated that they have what it takes in the last year they often have

decades if not centuries of expertise driving their operations

Every company we profile has provedmdashsometimes for multiple years

in a rowmdashthat it can work with advisors to get better client results

Thatrsquos our primary criterion and thatrsquos why you should at least glance

at every name in this book The names may be new to you but they

have clients and partners you can reach out to for recommendations

and testimonials

when the time comes to decide where to set up the new trust

Even if the prospective trust grantor doesnrsquot need a particular tax

benefit or class of protection at the moment these advisors know

that circumstances change And since multiple generations may be

part of the equation the trust must be able to evolve with the familyrsquos

needs Because of this many advisors look for a combination of fac-

tors when searching for a trust company

n Perpetuities Conventional trusts can expire a few decades

or maybe a century after the original grantor dies but many

states allow property to remain in trust for many generations

longer than the standard state and in some cases forever These

perpetual trusts or dynasty trusts are a very popular technique

for planners and clients today

n Favorable tax rules Avoiding state income or capital gains tax

is another key objective for planners to achieve for their clients

Alaska Florida Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington and

Wyoming do not impose an income tax on trusts Delaware does

not impose an income tax on trusts if the income or capital gains

are accumulated or distributed to non-resident beneficiaries

n Asset protection Some states offer varying degrees of protection

for locally domiciled trusts from the trust creatorrsquos creditors

While the language can be so vague as to be useless in court

jurisdictions like Nevada and South Dakota have a rich body of

statutes in place designed to shield property from legal claims

n Total return trusts Many states have enacted total return trust or

power-to-adjust statutes Trustees in these states can now invest

based on a total return approach and satisfy beneficiaries who

receive either a share of current income or the principal at a later

date Most states with total return trust legislation have the ability

to convert a trust to a unitrust percentage between 3 and 5

n Delegation Needless to say you want a trust provider that

operates in a state that allows an outside advisor to manage

the portfolio But this is not quite as intuitive as it initially seems

Review state statutes permitting segregation of duties to make

sure that the trustee will provide exactly the level of supervision

you find comfortable -- neither more nor lessn Privacy Most states have methods for insuring that fiduciary

matters will not be a matter of public record although some are

stronger than others However state laws differ on beneficiariesrsquo

entitlement to trust information and only a few states allow

a trust instrument to delay or prohibit disclosure of trust

information to future beneficiaries

Once you have your search narrowed to one or two states it is

time to find the right trust company to work with

Remember you want a partner that keeps its in-house

investment unit mdashif anymdashaway from your clients They should not be

trying to sell your clients proprietary investment products but theyshould have the capability to support any investments that you might

recommend now or in the future

Look for a corporate trust company that can provide evidence of

n Years of experience in administering trusts

n Specialization in trust administration custody and fiduciary tax

reporting services

n Knowledge of changes in the directed trust space and the trust

environment

n Dedication to fiduciary responsibility

n Insurance coverage against fiduciary errors and omissions

n Staff continuity

n Examination by internal auditors and external regulators

n Focus on the best interest of all beneficiaries both current and

future while implementing trust provisions

n An aversion to ldquointerpretingrdquo or adding to the trust documents in

order to divine the wishes of the creator

n State-of-the-art technology

n A reporting and accounting platform that supports both your

custody platform and all assets that will go into the trustn Established partnership relationships with multiple team members

Shopping for a Partner

How To Shop Words to Watch

As you put together a short list of trust companies that may be a good fit

for your clients remember that diversification is key Just as every one of

your clients is different and has unique needs many of the best provid-

ers are generalists who excel in a niche or two or are outright specialists

Learn to recognize the jargon that differentiates one trust company

from another so you can build a balanced team of potential partners

Some are geared toward self-directed IRAs and other pure hands-offcustody and administration Provident and Kingdom come to mind in

this yearrsquos group Others like New York Private and Premier shine when

it comes to classic directed trust where trust officers and advisors work

more closely together

Some of your clients will want to create trusts that favor one group or the

other If possible cultivate relationships with at least a few from either side

of the bench to give your clients the best pool of options to work with

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Introduction

Welcome to the future of Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

As I think yoursquoll see our standards are getting even high-

er as more and more companies really demonstrate that

theyrsquore willing able and eager to work with advisors on your terms

Since The Trust Advisor started tracking these firms a few years

ago the industry has changed a lot Trust officers who once scorned

the idea of working with advisors have realized that trying to com-

pete with you for client loyalty has become a race to the bottom

As a result just about everyone in the business wants to be known

as ldquoadvisor friendlyrdquo these days There isnrsquot room in this guide for all of

them so simply promising to welcome directed and delegated trusts

is no longer enough to ensure a place in this suddenly exclusive club

A true Advisor-Friendly trust company now

needs to provide more than a vague promise and

an adequate solution It needs to have what it takesto participate in a real inner circle of forward-think-

ing service providers with the technology and the

human resources to produce better outcomes for

you and your clients

The 30 firms profiled here run the gamut from

niche start-up to established giant Yoursquoll see high

tech boutiques fiercely independent players and

affiliates of some of the biggest financial institu-

tions in the country Most major jurisdictions are

represented for those looking to ensure that their clients have the

best protection in the country

Itrsquos an elite group And once again if yoursquod like some complimen-

tary vendor-neutral help picking a partner The Trust Advisor Concierge

is still staffed by people who can filter out obviously unsuitable com-

panies with just a little guidance from you then put you in touch with

only the people most likely to make a good fit

They know these companies better than anyone else If yoursquod like

to try out the Concierge now just skim the next few pages to figure

out exactly what you and your clients may need or want from a trustcompany relationship Then download the free app from thetrustad-

visorcom or call toll-free 18007816670

their clients In the process it goes without saying that high wealth ac-

counts mean trust services Todayrsquos wealthy families are not willing to settle for someone who

will simply manage their portfolios or give them a template for a finan-

cial plan Theyrsquove learned to use the Internet and they know there are

all-in-one firms that can give them tax advice insurance estate plan-

ning philanthropy wealth transfers to future generations and more

Your clients want a holistic approach with specialized expertise

They demand a financial advisor who will not only act as a go-between

to the markets but as a guardian of every aspect of their financial lives

And as it happens one of the top items on their wish list is the

ability to create and use trusts

You might be reluctant to give your clients that ability Until

recently putting wealth into trust made enormous financial

sense for an investormdashas a shield against taxes nuisance law-

suits and in some ways even mortalitymdashbut it also spelled financial

hardship for the advisor

The problem stems from the fact that while advisors can do many

things on their own running a trust is not one of them Teamwork is

almost a necessity and for too long few if any trust companies wereteam players

An individual can run a trust but the complexity and fiduciary

burden make it difficultmdasheven unwisemdashfor an advisor to do so At

this point the SEC has ruled that any advisor who wants to serve as

What ldquoAdvisor-FriendlyrdquoMeans

Trust as Competitive Edge

Separating the ldquoFriendlyrdquo from the Rest

To be considered advisor-friendly a trust company needs to be able to

pledge that it will cooperate with you not compete against you Unlike

captive trust departments that exist to give their corporate parentsmdash

usually wealth managers or banksmdashaccess to your clients these com-

panies have unbundled their wealth management offering and can

simply sell trust administration as a separate service

The difference is vast Conflicts of interest are eliminated Very few ofthese companies could take over active management of your clientsrsquo

trust assets if they wanted to so yoursquore able to stay right where you are

carrying the ball and earning the glory

What does aTrust Company Do

trustee or trust administrator will face expensive and onerous audits

As a result a third party needs to be identified to serve as trustee

Given the complexity of the task this will often be a specialized cor-

porate entity a trust company or bank trust department

Once again as far as the trust and its creators are concerned this

can be a terrific solution The corporate trustee has the resources and

the expertise to manage the paperwork meet the filing deadlines

and bear the fiduciary burdenmdashbut in the past the advisor almost

always got squeezed out of the relationship

To make things worse trust companies built in-house investment

departments as a way to expand their own revenue while others

evolved as captive affiliates of banks or even rival brokerage firms For

all practical purposes moving client money into a trust managed by

one of these entities meant handing a prize account to a competitor

Todayrsquos trust industry is still full of companies that compete di-rectly with advisors for control of the assets but thankfully their

dominance is nowhere near as complete as it was Progressive trust

companies recognize that investments are best handled by invest-

ment advisors and that the trust administration business is enough of

a challenge in its own right

Much like independent advisors these companies are not be-

holden to outside corporate interests They rarely if ever have propri-

etary investment products to sell or commissions to capture Very few

will insist on taking custody of the trust assets although many will do

so if the trust creator or his or her advisor wants

And thanks to innovations in the trust code in many states these

companies are happy to let the advisor keep investing the assets and

collecting the management fees From the advisorrsquos perspective only

the clientrsquos satisfaction level changes

Agood advisor-friendly trust company should be invisible to

your clients Still the administration function is critical and

should not be taken for granted Above all you should think

twice before letting any client or a clientrsquos family member serve as

trustee much less agree to do so yourself

The trustee is the person or corporate entity that manages the

trustrsquos affairs in order to ensure that it achieves the goals set by its cre-

ators This is a fiduciary role and as such the penalties for failure are

clear-cut and severe

Many otherwise financially sophisticated people can be bogged

down by trust administration issues deadlines and procedures Your cli-

Whatrsquos Important to You

ents already know what you do to manage their money but the trustee

relationship is likely to be new and somewhat outside their experience

Because you will be the primary point of contact for clients you

must have a basic understanding of the primary duties of the corpo-

rate trustee and any trust officers assigned to handle their trusts

Non-discretionary tasks are not optional These include making

income payments monthly quarterly annually or as otherwise direct-

ed by the trust Trustees must also pay out principal as set forth in the

trust and attend to all other matters the trust directs Tax and other

filing deadlines must be met in full

Any additional duties or instructions explicitly called for in the

trust documents must be carried out

Discretionary tasks give the trustee more margin for personal

interpretation If the trust is silent on an issue the trusteersquos fiduciary

duty may require him or her to make discretionary decisions For ex-ample a trust may indicate that the trustee can make principal pay-

ments ldquoafter considering other sources of income available to the

beneficiaryrdquo in which case the trustee should demand extensive doc-

umentation from the beneficiary before making a decision

Many trust officers also perform miscellaneous activities on be-

half of the beneficiaries as part of their overall ethic of service even if

these tasks are not explicitly mandated in the trust itself

The Trust Advisorrsquos audience includes some of the highest-pow-

ered professionals in the industry so wersquore always eager to hear

what you have to say about what you want from a service partner

Not surprisingly most of you want to open up your business to

support trusts for very sim-

ple reasons a wider offering

makes it easier to court new

clients encourage existing re-

lationships to trust you with

more of their assets and gener-

ate more revenue on every dol-

are the most important factors in picking a partner Only 22 are look-

that even a tiny boutique vendor may be worth a few basis points more

Itrsquos not hard to figure out why most advisors are leery of referring

their clients to any trust company without a firm promise that

those accounts wonrsquot be poached

Herersquos the problem Trust assets rarely move They often stick with

the trust company For this reason unfriendly trust companies have

an opportunity to leverage that relationship to take assets away from

the advisormdashand they tend to do so

The solution is to find a partner that not only promises not to

prospect your clients away but lacks either the motive or the oppor-

tunity to even try Many of the trust companies that cater to invest-

ment advisors and their clients have a strong incentive not to com-

pete for assets for the simple reason that they donrsquot have in-house in-

vestment departments They couldnrsquot manage these portfolios if they

tried Others actively cultivate relationships that formally prevented

them from interfering with the way the trust assets are invested

In a directed trust the trustee is legally required to follow the in-

vestment directives of an outside advisor who maintains a close rela-

tionship with the portfolio and the clients Every single one of the trust

companies we consider extremely advisor-friendly go out of their way

to support directed trusts From their perspective itrsquos enough to ad-

minister the trust and leave the job of investing its property to others

And needless to say if theyrsquore content to administer the trust

theyrsquore equally content to leave the rest of your clientsrsquo assets alone

Adirected trust is an arrangement that allows you the advisor

to hand off the responsibility and burden of administering a

trust to an outside corporate trustee but retain control over

how the assets are invested

Obviously for most advisors finding the right partnering trust

firm may not be a simple task For most advisors finding the right di-

rected trust relationship is the ldquosweet spotrdquo between spending to run

a trust business in-house and turning the business away The breakthrough came in the 1990s when some states altered

the rules to allow the creators of a trust to direct the trust company to

follow the investment choices of an outside advisor

As far as the portfolio is concerned the advisor (you) is boss The

advisor earns the management fees The trust company earns its own

fee for handling everything else accounting custody (if required) re-

porting and payments to the beneficiaries

If the IRS needs to inspect the books the trust company handles

it If one of the people named in the trust documents has a special

request the trust company handles it

Since both trustee and investment advisor are thus free to do

what they do best this aligns the interest of all service providers with

the grantors and beneficiaries themselves

Some states welcome both directed and delegated trusts Others

only support one or the other While the words look similar the

nuances are important

The creator of a directed trust takes the job of managing the as-

sets from the trustee and assigns it to someone else This generally lets

the existing wealth manager keep on doing what he or she is doing

while releasing the trustee from all but the most basic responsibilities

over how the money is invested

Delegated trusts give the trustee the power to decide who will

manage all or some of the assets In this kind of relationship the trust-

ee remains responsible for overall performance and will monitor the

outside managerrsquos activities to ensure that all parties meet their fidu-

Location Is Everything

ciary obligations While many advisors naturally prefer to have the trustcreator direct management powers to them some clients may prefer

to leave the ability to delegate with an independent trust company

which then chooses the advisor and monitors investment decisions

After all an advisor who is willing to let the trust company keep

tabs on performancemdashor risk being firedmdashdemonstrates that the cli-

entrsquos long-term interests come first A confident professional has noth-

ing to hide and little to gain from insisting on locking in control of the

assets even if his or her competence is questioned

And directed advisors can be removed in extremis so insisting on

direction does not necessarily buy anyone additional security

Review the difference with your clients and ask them which ar-

rangement they prefer Emphasize that you can work with their deci-

sion in any event

You may have noticed that this paper refers to ldquosomerdquo states

ldquomostrdquo states and so on Location is everything in the trust

business

Not all US states support all of the major types of trust that your

clients may need and in fact some experts consider only a handful

of trust havensmdashAlaska Delaware Nevada and South Dakotamdashto be

really top-tier places to create and run a trust

However anyone from any state can set up a trust in any jurisdic-

tion so no advisor should feel constrained by whatrsquos available at home

Recent trends have led wealthy families and individuals to

seek out the most favorable environments for their assets Because

of this many large family offices are opting for maximum flexibility

As you search these pages for the perfect trust partner yoursquoll notice

our inner circle falls into two camps the established fixtures of the

while some very well-established industry bellwethers have only dem-

decades if not centuries of expertise driving their operations

Every company we profile has provedmdashsometimes for multiple years

in a rowmdashthat it can work with advisors to get better client results

when the time comes to decide where to set up the new trust

Even if the prospective trust grantor doesnrsquot need a particular tax

benefit or class of protection at the moment these advisors know

that circumstances change And since multiple generations may be

part of the equation the trust must be able to evolve with the familyrsquos

needs Because of this many advisors look for a combination of fac-

tors when searching for a trust company

n Perpetuities Conventional trusts can expire a few decades

or maybe a century after the original grantor dies but many

states allow property to remain in trust for many generations

longer than the standard state and in some cases forever These

perpetual trusts or dynasty trusts are a very popular technique

for planners and clients today

n Favorable tax rules Avoiding state income or capital gains tax

is another key objective for planners to achieve for their clients

Alaska Florida Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington and

Wyoming do not impose an income tax on trusts Delaware does

not impose an income tax on trusts if the income or capital gains

are accumulated or distributed to non-resident beneficiaries

n Asset protection Some states offer varying degrees of protection

for locally domiciled trusts from the trust creatorrsquos creditors

While the language can be so vague as to be useless in court

jurisdictions like Nevada and South Dakota have a rich body of

statutes in place designed to shield property from legal claims

n Total return trusts Many states have enacted total return trust or

power-to-adjust statutes Trustees in these states can now invest

based on a total return approach and satisfy beneficiaries who

receive either a share of current income or the principal at a later

date Most states with total return trust legislation have the ability

to convert a trust to a unitrust percentage between 3 and 5

n Delegation Needless to say you want a trust provider that

operates in a state that allows an outside advisor to manage

the portfolio But this is not quite as intuitive as it initially seems

Review state statutes permitting segregation of duties to make

sure that the trustee will provide exactly the level of supervision

you find comfortable -- neither more nor lessn Privacy Most states have methods for insuring that fiduciary

matters will not be a matter of public record although some are

stronger than others However state laws differ on beneficiariesrsquo

entitlement to trust information and only a few states allow

a trust instrument to delay or prohibit disclosure of trust

information to future beneficiaries

Once you have your search narrowed to one or two states it is

time to find the right trust company to work with

Remember you want a partner that keeps its in-house

investment unit mdashif anymdashaway from your clients They should not be

trying to sell your clients proprietary investment products but theyshould have the capability to support any investments that you might

recommend now or in the future

Look for a corporate trust company that can provide evidence of

n Years of experience in administering trusts

n Specialization in trust administration custody and fiduciary tax

reporting services

n Knowledge of changes in the directed trust space and the trust

environment

n Dedication to fiduciary responsibility

n Insurance coverage against fiduciary errors and omissions

n Staff continuity

n Examination by internal auditors and external regulators

n Focus on the best interest of all beneficiaries both current and

future while implementing trust provisions

How To Shop Words to Watch

As you put together a short list of trust companies that may be a good fit

it comes to classic directed trust where trust officers and advisors work

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

Competition for high-net-worth accounts has never been fierc-

er Every advisor in the US is on the hunt for wealthy clients

looking to provide the best mousetrap and service offering for

their clients In the process it goes without saying that high wealth ac-

counts mean trust services Todayrsquos wealthy families are not willing to settle for someone who

will simply manage their portfolios or give them a template for a finan-

cial plan Theyrsquove learned to use the Internet and they know there are

all-in-one firms that can give them tax advice insurance estate plan-

ning philanthropy wealth transfers to future generations and more

Your clients want a holistic approach with specialized expertise

They demand a financial advisor who will not only act as a go-between

to the markets but as a guardian of every aspect of their financial lives

And as it happens one of the top items on their wish list is the

ability to create and use trusts

You might be reluctant to give your clients that ability Until

recently putting wealth into trust made enormous financial

sense for an investormdashas a shield against taxes nuisance law-

suits and in some ways even mortalitymdashbut it also spelled financial

hardship for the advisor

The problem stems from the fact that while advisors can do many

things on their own running a trust is not one of them Teamwork is

almost a necessity and for too long few if any trust companies wereteam players

An individual can run a trust but the complexity and fiduciary

burden make it difficultmdasheven unwisemdashfor an advisor to do so At

this point the SEC has ruled that any advisor who wants to serve as

What ldquoAdvisor-FriendlyrdquoMeans

Trust as Competitive Edge

Separating the ldquoFriendlyrdquo from the Rest

To be considered advisor-friendly a trust company needs to be able to

pledge that it will cooperate with you not compete against you Unlike

captive trust departments that exist to give their corporate parentsmdash

usually wealth managers or banksmdashaccess to your clients these com-

panies have unbundled their wealth management offering and can

simply sell trust administration as a separate service

The difference is vast Conflicts of interest are eliminated Very few ofthese companies could take over active management of your clientsrsquo

trust assets if they wanted to so yoursquore able to stay right where you are

carrying the ball and earning the glory

What does aTrust Company Do

trustee or trust administrator will face expensive and onerous audits

As a result a third party needs to be identified to serve as trustee

Given the complexity of the task this will often be a specialized cor-

porate entity a trust company or bank trust department

Once again as far as the trust and its creators are concerned this

can be a terrific solution The corporate trustee has the resources and

the expertise to manage the paperwork meet the filing deadlines

and bear the fiduciary burdenmdashbut in the past the advisor almost

always got squeezed out of the relationship

To make things worse trust companies built in-house investment

departments as a way to expand their own revenue while others

evolved as captive affiliates of banks or even rival brokerage firms For

all practical purposes moving client money into a trust managed by

one of these entities meant handing a prize account to a competitor

Todayrsquos trust industry is still full of companies that compete di-rectly with advisors for control of the assets but thankfully their

dominance is nowhere near as complete as it was Progressive trust

companies recognize that investments are best handled by invest-

ment advisors and that the trust administration business is enough of

a challenge in its own right

Much like independent advisors these companies are not be-

holden to outside corporate interests They rarely if ever have propri-

etary investment products to sell or commissions to capture Very few

will insist on taking custody of the trust assets although many will do

so if the trust creator or his or her advisor wants

And thanks to innovations in the trust code in many states these

companies are happy to let the advisor keep investing the assets and

collecting the management fees From the advisorrsquos perspective only

the clientrsquos satisfaction level changes

Agood advisor-friendly trust company should be invisible to

your clients Still the administration function is critical and

should not be taken for granted Above all you should think

twice before letting any client or a clientrsquos family member serve as

trustee much less agree to do so yourself

The trustee is the person or corporate entity that manages the

trustrsquos affairs in order to ensure that it achieves the goals set by its cre-

ators This is a fiduciary role and as such the penalties for failure are

clear-cut and severe

Many otherwise financially sophisticated people can be bogged

down by trust administration issues deadlines and procedures Your cli-

Whatrsquos Important to You

ents already know what you do to manage their money but the trustee

relationship is likely to be new and somewhat outside their experience

Because you will be the primary point of contact for clients you

must have a basic understanding of the primary duties of the corpo-

rate trustee and any trust officers assigned to handle their trusts

Non-discretionary tasks are not optional These include making

income payments monthly quarterly annually or as otherwise direct-

ed by the trust Trustees must also pay out principal as set forth in the

trust and attend to all other matters the trust directs Tax and other

filing deadlines must be met in full

Any additional duties or instructions explicitly called for in the

trust documents must be carried out

Discretionary tasks give the trustee more margin for personal

interpretation If the trust is silent on an issue the trusteersquos fiduciary

duty may require him or her to make discretionary decisions For ex-ample a trust may indicate that the trustee can make principal pay-

ments ldquoafter considering other sources of income available to the

beneficiaryrdquo in which case the trustee should demand extensive doc-

umentation from the beneficiary before making a decision

Many trust officers also perform miscellaneous activities on be-

half of the beneficiaries as part of their overall ethic of service even if

these tasks are not explicitly mandated in the trust itself

The Trust Advisorrsquos audience includes some of the highest-pow-

ered professionals in the industry so wersquore always eager to hear

what you have to say about what you want from a service partner

Not surprisingly most of you want to open up your business to

support trusts for very sim-

ple reasons a wider offering

makes it easier to court new

clients encourage existing re-

lationships to trust you with

more of their assets and gener-

ate more revenue on every dol-

lar of AUM on your platform

A full 82 of our readers say finding a trust company they can

survey we ran in June 2013 re-

vealed that 80 of you say reputation and length of time in business

are the most important factors in picking a partner Only 22 are look-

ing for the lowest-price solution What does this mean Advisors look

for testimonials and case studies to prove that a potential partner canback up its claims That kind of information is hard to get from a web-

site so yoursquoll probably need to pick up the phone even if our Trust Advi-

sor Concierge does most of the legwork for you in advance

Once you make the calls yoursquoll have a much better idea of a trust

companyrsquos standing in the industry and whether it would be a good fit for

your clients If that side of the company passes muster yoursquove made clear

that even a tiny boutique vendor may be worth a few basis points more

Itrsquos not hard to figure out why most advisors are leery of referring

their clients to any trust company without a firm promise that

those accounts wonrsquot be poached

Herersquos the problem Trust assets rarely move They often stick with

the trust company For this reason unfriendly trust companies have

an opportunity to leverage that relationship to take assets away from

the advisormdashand they tend to do so

The solution is to find a partner that not only promises not to

prospect your clients away but lacks either the motive or the oppor-

tunity to even try Many of the trust companies that cater to invest-

ment advisors and their clients have a strong incentive not to com-

pete for assets for the simple reason that they donrsquot have in-house in-

vestment departments They couldnrsquot manage these portfolios if they

tried Others actively cultivate relationships that formally prevented

them from interfering with the way the trust assets are invested

In a directed trust the trustee is legally required to follow the in-

vestment directives of an outside advisor who maintains a close rela-

tionship with the portfolio and the clients Every single one of the trust

companies we consider extremely advisor-friendly go out of their way

to support directed trusts From their perspective itrsquos enough to ad-

minister the trust and leave the job of investing its property to others

And needless to say if theyrsquore content to administer the trust

theyrsquore equally content to leave the rest of your clientsrsquo assets alone

Adirected trust is an arrangement that allows you the advisor

to hand off the responsibility and burden of administering a

trust to an outside corporate trustee but retain control over

how the assets are invested

Obviously for most advisors finding the right partnering trust

firm may not be a simple task For most advisors finding the right di-

rected trust relationship is the ldquosweet spotrdquo between spending to run

a trust business in-house and turning the business away The breakthrough came in the 1990s when some states altered

the rules to allow the creators of a trust to direct the trust company to

follow the investment choices of an outside advisor

As far as the portfolio is concerned the advisor (you) is boss The

advisor earns the management fees The trust company earns its own

fee for handling everything else accounting custody (if required) re-

porting and payments to the beneficiaries

If the IRS needs to inspect the books the trust company handles

it If one of the people named in the trust documents has a special

request the trust company handles it

Since both trustee and investment advisor are thus free to do

what they do best this aligns the interest of all service providers with

the grantors and beneficiaries themselves

Some states welcome both directed and delegated trusts Others

only support one or the other While the words look similar the

nuances are important

The creator of a directed trust takes the job of managing the as-

sets from the trustee and assigns it to someone else This generally lets

the existing wealth manager keep on doing what he or she is doing

while releasing the trustee from all but the most basic responsibilities

over how the money is invested

Delegated trusts give the trustee the power to decide who will

manage all or some of the assets In this kind of relationship the trust-

ee remains responsible for overall performance and will monitor the

outside managerrsquos activities to ensure that all parties meet their fidu-

Location Is Everything

ciary obligations While many advisors naturally prefer to have the trustcreator direct management powers to them some clients may prefer

to leave the ability to delegate with an independent trust company

which then chooses the advisor and monitors investment decisions

After all an advisor who is willing to let the trust company keep

tabs on performancemdashor risk being firedmdashdemonstrates that the cli-

entrsquos long-term interests come first A confident professional has noth-

ing to hide and little to gain from insisting on locking in control of the

assets even if his or her competence is questioned

And directed advisors can be removed in extremis so insisting on

direction does not necessarily buy anyone additional security

Review the difference with your clients and ask them which ar-

rangement they prefer Emphasize that you can work with their deci-

sion in any event

You may have noticed that this paper refers to ldquosomerdquo states

ldquomostrdquo states and so on Location is everything in the trust

business

Not all US states support all of the major types of trust that your

clients may need and in fact some experts consider only a handful

of trust havensmdashAlaska Delaware Nevada and South Dakotamdashto be

really top-tier places to create and run a trust

However anyone from any state can set up a trust in any jurisdic-

tion so no advisor should feel constrained by whatrsquos available at home

Recent trends have led wealthy families and individuals to

seek out the most favorable environments for their assets Because

of this many large family offices are opting for maximum flexibility

New to Us Not New to the Business

As you search these pages for the perfect trust partner yoursquoll notice

our inner circle falls into two camps the established fixtures of the

independent trust company movement and the names who are rela-

tively new to the advisor-friendly club Itrsquos important to point out that

while some very well-established industry bellwethers have only dem-

onstrated that they have what it takes in the last year they often have

decades if not centuries of expertise driving their operations

Every company we profile has provedmdashsometimes for multiple years

in a rowmdashthat it can work with advisors to get better client results

Thatrsquos our primary criterion and thatrsquos why you should at least glance

at every name in this book The names may be new to you but they

have clients and partners you can reach out to for recommendations

and testimonials

when the time comes to decide where to set up the new trust

Even if the prospective trust grantor doesnrsquot need a particular tax

benefit or class of protection at the moment these advisors know

that circumstances change And since multiple generations may be

part of the equation the trust must be able to evolve with the familyrsquos

needs Because of this many advisors look for a combination of fac-

tors when searching for a trust company

n Perpetuities Conventional trusts can expire a few decades

or maybe a century after the original grantor dies but many

states allow property to remain in trust for many generations

longer than the standard state and in some cases forever These

perpetual trusts or dynasty trusts are a very popular technique

for planners and clients today

n Favorable tax rules Avoiding state income or capital gains tax

is another key objective for planners to achieve for their clients

Alaska Florida Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington and

Wyoming do not impose an income tax on trusts Delaware does

not impose an income tax on trusts if the income or capital gains

are accumulated or distributed to non-resident beneficiaries

n Asset protection Some states offer varying degrees of protection

for locally domiciled trusts from the trust creatorrsquos creditors

While the language can be so vague as to be useless in court

jurisdictions like Nevada and South Dakota have a rich body of

statutes in place designed to shield property from legal claims

n Total return trusts Many states have enacted total return trust or

power-to-adjust statutes Trustees in these states can now invest

based on a total return approach and satisfy beneficiaries who

receive either a share of current income or the principal at a later

date Most states with total return trust legislation have the ability

to convert a trust to a unitrust percentage between 3 and 5

n Delegation Needless to say you want a trust provider that

operates in a state that allows an outside advisor to manage

the portfolio But this is not quite as intuitive as it initially seems

Review state statutes permitting segregation of duties to make

sure that the trustee will provide exactly the level of supervision

you find comfortable -- neither more nor lessn Privacy Most states have methods for insuring that fiduciary

matters will not be a matter of public record although some are

stronger than others However state laws differ on beneficiariesrsquo

entitlement to trust information and only a few states allow

a trust instrument to delay or prohibit disclosure of trust

information to future beneficiaries

Once you have your search narrowed to one or two states it is

time to find the right trust company to work with

Remember you want a partner that keeps its in-house

investment unit mdashif anymdashaway from your clients They should not be

trying to sell your clients proprietary investment products but theyshould have the capability to support any investments that you might

recommend now or in the future

Look for a corporate trust company that can provide evidence of

n Years of experience in administering trusts

n Specialization in trust administration custody and fiduciary tax

reporting services

n Knowledge of changes in the directed trust space and the trust

environment

n Dedication to fiduciary responsibility

n Insurance coverage against fiduciary errors and omissions

n Staff continuity

n Examination by internal auditors and external regulators

n Focus on the best interest of all beneficiaries both current and

future while implementing trust provisions

n An aversion to ldquointerpretingrdquo or adding to the trust documents in

order to divine the wishes of the creator

n State-of-the-art technology

n A reporting and accounting platform that supports both your

custody platform and all assets that will go into the trustn Established partnership relationships with multiple team members

Shopping for a Partner

How To Shop Words to Watch

As you put together a short list of trust companies that may be a good fit

for your clients remember that diversification is key Just as every one of

your clients is different and has unique needs many of the best provid-

ers are generalists who excel in a niche or two or are outright specialists

Learn to recognize the jargon that differentiates one trust company

from another so you can build a balanced team of potential partners

Some are geared toward self-directed IRAs and other pure hands-offcustody and administration Provident and Kingdom come to mind in

this yearrsquos group Others like New York Private and Premier shine when

it comes to classic directed trust where trust officers and advisors work

more closely together

Some of your clients will want to create trusts that favor one group or the

other If possible cultivate relationships with at least a few from either side

of the bench to give your clients the best pool of options to work with

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

What does aTrust Company Do

trustee or trust administrator will face expensive and onerous audits

As a result a third party needs to be identified to serve as trustee

Given the complexity of the task this will often be a specialized cor-

porate entity a trust company or bank trust department

Once again as far as the trust and its creators are concerned this

can be a terrific solution The corporate trustee has the resources and

the expertise to manage the paperwork meet the filing deadlines

and bear the fiduciary burdenmdashbut in the past the advisor almost

always got squeezed out of the relationship

To make things worse trust companies built in-house investment

departments as a way to expand their own revenue while others

evolved as captive affiliates of banks or even rival brokerage firms For

all practical purposes moving client money into a trust managed by

one of these entities meant handing a prize account to a competitor

Todayrsquos trust industry is still full of companies that compete di-rectly with advisors for control of the assets but thankfully their

dominance is nowhere near as complete as it was Progressive trust

companies recognize that investments are best handled by invest-

ment advisors and that the trust administration business is enough of

a challenge in its own right

Much like independent advisors these companies are not be-

holden to outside corporate interests They rarely if ever have propri-

etary investment products to sell or commissions to capture Very few

will insist on taking custody of the trust assets although many will do

so if the trust creator or his or her advisor wants

And thanks to innovations in the trust code in many states these

companies are happy to let the advisor keep investing the assets and

collecting the management fees From the advisorrsquos perspective only

the clientrsquos satisfaction level changes

Agood advisor-friendly trust company should be invisible to

your clients Still the administration function is critical and

should not be taken for granted Above all you should think

twice before letting any client or a clientrsquos family member serve as

trustee much less agree to do so yourself

The trustee is the person or corporate entity that manages the

trustrsquos affairs in order to ensure that it achieves the goals set by its cre-

ators This is a fiduciary role and as such the penalties for failure are

clear-cut and severe

Many otherwise financially sophisticated people can be bogged

down by trust administration issues deadlines and procedures Your cli-

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Whatrsquos Important to You

ents already know what you do to manage their money but the trustee

relationship is likely to be new and somewhat outside their experience

Because you will be the primary point of contact for clients you

must have a basic understanding of the primary duties of the corpo-

rate trustee and any trust officers assigned to handle their trusts

Non-discretionary tasks are not optional These include making

income payments monthly quarterly annually or as otherwise direct-

ed by the trust Trustees must also pay out principal as set forth in the

trust and attend to all other matters the trust directs Tax and other

filing deadlines must be met in full

Any additional duties or instructions explicitly called for in the

trust documents must be carried out

Discretionary tasks give the trustee more margin for personal

interpretation If the trust is silent on an issue the trusteersquos fiduciary

duty may require him or her to make discretionary decisions For ex-ample a trust may indicate that the trustee can make principal pay-

ments ldquoafter considering other sources of income available to the

beneficiaryrdquo in which case the trustee should demand extensive doc-

umentation from the beneficiary before making a decision

Many trust officers also perform miscellaneous activities on be-

half of the beneficiaries as part of their overall ethic of service even if

these tasks are not explicitly mandated in the trust itself

The Trust Advisorrsquos audience includes some of the highest-pow-

ered professionals in the industry so wersquore always eager to hear

what you have to say about what you want from a service partner

Not surprisingly most of you want to open up your business to

support trusts for very sim-

ple reasons a wider offering

makes it easier to court new

clients encourage existing re-

lationships to trust you with

more of their assets and gener-

ate more revenue on every dol-

lar of AUM on your platform

A full 82 of our readers say finding a trust company they can

cision and the numbers speak

for themselves

In terms of which trust

achieve those goals you are all

about testimonials A reader

survey we ran in June 2013 re-

vealed that 80 of you say reputation and length of time in business

are the most important factors in picking a partner Only 22 are look-

ing for the lowest-price solution What does this mean Advisors look

for testimonials and case studies to prove that a potential partner canback up its claims That kind of information is hard to get from a web-

site so yoursquoll probably need to pick up the phone even if our Trust Advi-

sor Concierge does most of the legwork for you in advance

Once you make the calls yoursquoll have a much better idea of a trust

companyrsquos standing in the industry and whether it would be a good fit for

your clients If that side of the company passes muster yoursquove made clear

that even a tiny boutique vendor may be worth a few basis points more

Itrsquos not hard to figure out why most advisors are leery of referring

their clients to any trust company without a firm promise that

those accounts wonrsquot be poached

Herersquos the problem Trust assets rarely move They often stick with

the trust company For this reason unfriendly trust companies have

an opportunity to leverage that relationship to take assets away from

the advisormdashand they tend to do so

The solution is to find a partner that not only promises not to

prospect your clients away but lacks either the motive or the oppor-

tunity to even try Many of the trust companies that cater to invest-

ment advisors and their clients have a strong incentive not to com-

pete for assets for the simple reason that they donrsquot have in-house in-

vestment departments They couldnrsquot manage these portfolios if they

tried Others actively cultivate relationships that formally prevented

them from interfering with the way the trust assets are invested

In a directed trust the trustee is legally required to follow the in-

vestment directives of an outside advisor who maintains a close rela-

tionship with the portfolio and the clients Every single one of the trust

companies we consider extremely advisor-friendly go out of their way

to support directed trusts From their perspective itrsquos enough to ad-

minister the trust and leave the job of investing its property to others

And needless to say if theyrsquore content to administer the trust

theyrsquore equally content to leave the rest of your clientsrsquo assets alone

Adirected trust is an arrangement that allows you the advisor

to hand off the responsibility and burden of administering a

trust to an outside corporate trustee but retain control over

how the assets are invested

Obviously for most advisors finding the right partnering trust

firm may not be a simple task For most advisors finding the right di-

rected trust relationship is the ldquosweet spotrdquo between spending to run

a trust business in-house and turning the business away The breakthrough came in the 1990s when some states altered

the rules to allow the creators of a trust to direct the trust company to

follow the investment choices of an outside advisor

As far as the portfolio is concerned the advisor (you) is boss The

advisor earns the management fees The trust company earns its own

fee for handling everything else accounting custody (if required) re-

porting and payments to the beneficiaries

If the IRS needs to inspect the books the trust company handles

it If one of the people named in the trust documents has a special

request the trust company handles it

Since both trustee and investment advisor are thus free to do

what they do best this aligns the interest of all service providers with

the grantors and beneficiaries themselves

Some states welcome both directed and delegated trusts Others

only support one or the other While the words look similar the

nuances are important

The creator of a directed trust takes the job of managing the as-

sets from the trustee and assigns it to someone else This generally lets

the existing wealth manager keep on doing what he or she is doing

while releasing the trustee from all but the most basic responsibilities

over how the money is invested

Delegated trusts give the trustee the power to decide who will

manage all or some of the assets In this kind of relationship the trust-

ee remains responsible for overall performance and will monitor the

outside managerrsquos activities to ensure that all parties meet their fidu-

Location Is Everything

ciary obligations While many advisors naturally prefer to have the trustcreator direct management powers to them some clients may prefer

to leave the ability to delegate with an independent trust company

which then chooses the advisor and monitors investment decisions

After all an advisor who is willing to let the trust company keep

tabs on performancemdashor risk being firedmdashdemonstrates that the cli-

entrsquos long-term interests come first A confident professional has noth-

ing to hide and little to gain from insisting on locking in control of the

assets even if his or her competence is questioned

And directed advisors can be removed in extremis so insisting on

direction does not necessarily buy anyone additional security

Review the difference with your clients and ask them which ar-

rangement they prefer Emphasize that you can work with their deci-

sion in any event

You may have noticed that this paper refers to ldquosomerdquo states

ldquomostrdquo states and so on Location is everything in the trust

business

Not all US states support all of the major types of trust that your

clients may need and in fact some experts consider only a handful

of trust havensmdashAlaska Delaware Nevada and South Dakotamdashto be

really top-tier places to create and run a trust

However anyone from any state can set up a trust in any jurisdic-

tion so no advisor should feel constrained by whatrsquos available at home

Recent trends have led wealthy families and individuals to

seek out the most favorable environments for their assets Because

of this many large family offices are opting for maximum flexibility

New to Us Not New to the Business

As you search these pages for the perfect trust partner yoursquoll notice

our inner circle falls into two camps the established fixtures of the

independent trust company movement and the names who are rela-

tively new to the advisor-friendly club Itrsquos important to point out that

while some very well-established industry bellwethers have only dem-

onstrated that they have what it takes in the last year they often have

decades if not centuries of expertise driving their operations

Every company we profile has provedmdashsometimes for multiple years

in a rowmdashthat it can work with advisors to get better client results

Thatrsquos our primary criterion and thatrsquos why you should at least glance

at every name in this book The names may be new to you but they

have clients and partners you can reach out to for recommendations

and testimonials

when the time comes to decide where to set up the new trust

Even if the prospective trust grantor doesnrsquot need a particular tax

benefit or class of protection at the moment these advisors know

that circumstances change And since multiple generations may be

part of the equation the trust must be able to evolve with the familyrsquos

needs Because of this many advisors look for a combination of fac-

tors when searching for a trust company

n Perpetuities Conventional trusts can expire a few decades

or maybe a century after the original grantor dies but many

states allow property to remain in trust for many generations

longer than the standard state and in some cases forever These

perpetual trusts or dynasty trusts are a very popular technique

for planners and clients today

n Favorable tax rules Avoiding state income or capital gains tax

is another key objective for planners to achieve for their clients

Alaska Florida Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington and

Wyoming do not impose an income tax on trusts Delaware does

not impose an income tax on trusts if the income or capital gains

are accumulated or distributed to non-resident beneficiaries

n Asset protection Some states offer varying degrees of protection

for locally domiciled trusts from the trust creatorrsquos creditors

While the language can be so vague as to be useless in court

jurisdictions like Nevada and South Dakota have a rich body of

statutes in place designed to shield property from legal claims

n Total return trusts Many states have enacted total return trust or

power-to-adjust statutes Trustees in these states can now invest

based on a total return approach and satisfy beneficiaries who

receive either a share of current income or the principal at a later

date Most states with total return trust legislation have the ability

to convert a trust to a unitrust percentage between 3 and 5

n Delegation Needless to say you want a trust provider that

operates in a state that allows an outside advisor to manage

the portfolio But this is not quite as intuitive as it initially seems

Review state statutes permitting segregation of duties to make

sure that the trustee will provide exactly the level of supervision

you find comfortable -- neither more nor lessn Privacy Most states have methods for insuring that fiduciary

matters will not be a matter of public record although some are

stronger than others However state laws differ on beneficiariesrsquo

entitlement to trust information and only a few states allow

a trust instrument to delay or prohibit disclosure of trust

information to future beneficiaries

Once you have your search narrowed to one or two states it is

time to find the right trust company to work with

Remember you want a partner that keeps its in-house

investment unit mdashif anymdashaway from your clients They should not be

trying to sell your clients proprietary investment products but theyshould have the capability to support any investments that you might

recommend now or in the future

Look for a corporate trust company that can provide evidence of

n Years of experience in administering trusts

n Specialization in trust administration custody and fiduciary tax

reporting services

n Knowledge of changes in the directed trust space and the trust

environment

n Dedication to fiduciary responsibility

n Insurance coverage against fiduciary errors and omissions

n Staff continuity

n Examination by internal auditors and external regulators

n Focus on the best interest of all beneficiaries both current and

future while implementing trust provisions

n An aversion to ldquointerpretingrdquo or adding to the trust documents in

order to divine the wishes of the creator

n State-of-the-art technology

n A reporting and accounting platform that supports both your

custody platform and all assets that will go into the trustn Established partnership relationships with multiple team members

As you put together a short list of trust companies that may be a good fit

for your clients remember that diversification is key Just as every one of

your clients is different and has unique needs many of the best provid-

ers are generalists who excel in a niche or two or are outright specialists

Learn to recognize the jargon that differentiates one trust company

from another so you can build a balanced team of potential partners

Some are geared toward self-directed IRAs and other pure hands-offcustody and administration Provident and Kingdom come to mind in

this yearrsquos group Others like New York Private and Premier shine when

it comes to classic directed trust where trust officers and advisors work

more closely together

Some of your clients will want to create trusts that favor one group or the

other If possible cultivate relationships with at least a few from either side

of the bench to give your clients the best pool of options to work with

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Whatrsquos Important to You

ents already know what you do to manage their money but the trustee

relationship is likely to be new and somewhat outside their experience

Because you will be the primary point of contact for clients you

must have a basic understanding of the primary duties of the corpo-

rate trustee and any trust officers assigned to handle their trusts

Non-discretionary tasks are not optional These include making

income payments monthly quarterly annually or as otherwise direct-

ed by the trust Trustees must also pay out principal as set forth in the

trust and attend to all other matters the trust directs Tax and other

filing deadlines must be met in full

Any additional duties or instructions explicitly called for in the

trust documents must be carried out

Discretionary tasks give the trustee more margin for personal

interpretation If the trust is silent on an issue the trusteersquos fiduciary

duty may require him or her to make discretionary decisions For ex-ample a trust may indicate that the trustee can make principal pay-

ments ldquoafter considering other sources of income available to the

beneficiaryrdquo in which case the trustee should demand extensive doc-

umentation from the beneficiary before making a decision

Many trust officers also perform miscellaneous activities on be-

half of the beneficiaries as part of their overall ethic of service even if

these tasks are not explicitly mandated in the trust itself

The Trust Advisorrsquos audience includes some of the highest-pow-

ered professionals in the industry so wersquore always eager to hear

what you have to say about what you want from a service partner

Not surprisingly most of you want to open up your business to

support trusts for very sim-

ple reasons a wider offering

makes it easier to court new

clients encourage existing re-

lationships to trust you with

more of their assets and gener-

ate more revenue on every dol-

lar of AUM on your platform

your platform

A full 82 of our readers say finding a trust company they can

recommend to their best clients has translated into new relationships

enhanced account retention or both Thatrsquos it Itrsquos a pure business de-

cision and the numbers speak

for themselves

In terms of which trust

services provider can help you

achieve those goals you are all

about testimonials A reader

survey we ran in June 2013 re-

vealed that 80 of you say reputation and length of time in business

are the most important factors in picking a partner Only 22 are look-

ing for the lowest-price solution What does this mean Advisors look

for testimonials and case studies to prove that a potential partner canback up its claims That kind of information is hard to get from a web-

site so yoursquoll probably need to pick up the phone even if our Trust Advi-

sor Concierge does most of the legwork for you in advance

Once you make the calls yoursquoll have a much better idea of a trust

companyrsquos standing in the industry and whether it would be a good fit for

your clients If that side of the company passes muster yoursquove made clear

that even a tiny boutique vendor may be worth a few basis points more

Itrsquos not hard to figure out why most advisors are leery of referring

their clients to any trust company without a firm promise that

those accounts wonrsquot be poached

Herersquos the problem Trust assets rarely move They often stick with

the trust company For this reason unfriendly trust companies have

an opportunity to leverage that relationship to take assets away from

the advisormdashand they tend to do so

The solution is to find a partner that not only promises not to

prospect your clients away but lacks either the motive or the oppor-

tunity to even try Many of the trust companies that cater to invest-

ment advisors and their clients have a strong incentive not to com-

pete for assets for the simple reason that they donrsquot have in-house in-

vestment departments They couldnrsquot manage these portfolios if they

tried Others actively cultivate relationships that formally prevented

them from interfering with the way the trust assets are invested

In a directed trust the trustee is legally required to follow the in-

vestment directives of an outside advisor who maintains a close rela-

tionship with the portfolio and the clients Every single one of the trust

companies we consider extremely advisor-friendly go out of their way

to support directed trusts From their perspective itrsquos enough to ad-

minister the trust and leave the job of investing its property to others

And needless to say if theyrsquore content to administer the trust

theyrsquore equally content to leave the rest of your clientsrsquo assets alone

Adirected trust is an arrangement that allows you the advisor

to hand off the responsibility and burden of administering a

trust to an outside corporate trustee but retain control over

how the assets are invested

Obviously for most advisors finding the right partnering trust

firm may not be a simple task For most advisors finding the right di-

rected trust relationship is the ldquosweet spotrdquo between spending to run

a trust business in-house and turning the business away The breakthrough came in the 1990s when some states altered

the rules to allow the creators of a trust to direct the trust company to

follow the investment choices of an outside advisor

As far as the portfolio is concerned the advisor (you) is boss The

advisor earns the management fees The trust company earns its own

fee for handling everything else accounting custody (if required) re-

porting and payments to the beneficiaries

If the IRS needs to inspect the books the trust company handles

it If one of the people named in the trust documents has a special

request the trust company handles it

Since both trustee and investment advisor are thus free to do

what they do best this aligns the interest of all service providers with

the grantors and beneficiaries themselves

Some states welcome both directed and delegated trusts Others

only support one or the other While the words look similar the

nuances are important

The creator of a directed trust takes the job of managing the as-

sets from the trustee and assigns it to someone else This generally lets

the existing wealth manager keep on doing what he or she is doing

while releasing the trustee from all but the most basic responsibilities

over how the money is invested

Delegated trusts give the trustee the power to decide who will

manage all or some of the assets In this kind of relationship the trust-

ee remains responsible for overall performance and will monitor the

outside managerrsquos activities to ensure that all parties meet their fidu-

Location Is Everything

ciary obligations While many advisors naturally prefer to have the trustcreator direct management powers to them some clients may prefer

to leave the ability to delegate with an independent trust company

which then chooses the advisor and monitors investment decisions

After all an advisor who is willing to let the trust company keep

tabs on performancemdashor risk being firedmdashdemonstrates that the cli-

entrsquos long-term interests come first A confident professional has noth-

ing to hide and little to gain from insisting on locking in control of the

assets even if his or her competence is questioned

And directed advisors can be removed in extremis so insisting on

direction does not necessarily buy anyone additional security

Review the difference with your clients and ask them which ar-

rangement they prefer Emphasize that you can work with their deci-

sion in any event

You may have noticed that this paper refers to ldquosomerdquo states

ldquomostrdquo states and so on Location is everything in the trust

business

Not all US states support all of the major types of trust that your

clients may need and in fact some experts consider only a handful

of trust havensmdashAlaska Delaware Nevada and South Dakotamdashto be

really top-tier places to create and run a trust

However anyone from any state can set up a trust in any jurisdic-

tion so no advisor should feel constrained by whatrsquos available at home

Recent trends have led wealthy families and individuals to

seek out the most favorable environments for their assets Because

of this many large family offices are opting for maximum flexibility

New to Us Not New to the Business

As you search these pages for the perfect trust partner yoursquoll notice

our inner circle falls into two camps the established fixtures of the

independent trust company movement and the names who are rela-

tively new to the advisor-friendly club Itrsquos important to point out that

while some very well-established industry bellwethers have only dem-

onstrated that they have what it takes in the last year they often have

decades if not centuries of expertise driving their operations

Every company we profile has provedmdashsometimes for multiple years

in a rowmdashthat it can work with advisors to get better client results

Thatrsquos our primary criterion and thatrsquos why you should at least glance

at every name in this book The names may be new to you but they

have clients and partners you can reach out to for recommendations

and testimonials

when the time comes to decide where to set up the new trust

Even if the prospective trust grantor doesnrsquot need a particular tax

benefit or class of protection at the moment these advisors know

that circumstances change And since multiple generations may be

part of the equation the trust must be able to evolve with the familyrsquos

needs Because of this many advisors look for a combination of fac-

tors when searching for a trust company

n Perpetuities Conventional trusts can expire a few decades

or maybe a century after the original grantor dies but many

states allow property to remain in trust for many generations

longer than the standard state and in some cases forever These

perpetual trusts or dynasty trusts are a very popular technique

for planners and clients today

n Favorable tax rules Avoiding state income or capital gains tax

is another key objective for planners to achieve for their clients

Alaska Florida Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington and

Wyoming do not impose an income tax on trusts Delaware does

not impose an income tax on trusts if the income or capital gains

are accumulated or distributed to non-resident beneficiaries

n Asset protection Some states offer varying degrees of protection

for locally domiciled trusts from the trust creatorrsquos creditors

While the language can be so vague as to be useless in court

jurisdictions like Nevada and South Dakota have a rich body of

statutes in place designed to shield property from legal claims

n Total return trusts Many states have enacted total return trust or

power-to-adjust statutes Trustees in these states can now invest

based on a total return approach and satisfy beneficiaries who

receive either a share of current income or the principal at a later

date Most states with total return trust legislation have the ability

to convert a trust to a unitrust percentage between 3 and 5

n Delegation Needless to say you want a trust provider that

operates in a state that allows an outside advisor to manage

the portfolio But this is not quite as intuitive as it initially seems

Review state statutes permitting segregation of duties to make

sure that the trustee will provide exactly the level of supervision

you find comfortable -- neither more nor lessn Privacy Most states have methods for insuring that fiduciary

matters will not be a matter of public record although some are

stronger than others However state laws differ on beneficiariesrsquo

entitlement to trust information and only a few states allow

a trust instrument to delay or prohibit disclosure of trust

information to future beneficiaries

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Once you have your search narrowed to one or two states it is

time to find the right trust company to work with

Remember you want a partner that keeps its in-house

investment unit mdashif anymdashaway from your clients They should not be

trying to sell your clients proprietary investment products but theyshould have the capability to support any investments that you might

recommend now or in the future

Look for a corporate trust company that can provide evidence of

n Years of experience in administering trusts

n Specialization in trust administration custody and fiduciary tax

reporting services

n Knowledge of changes in the directed trust space and the trust

environment

n Dedication to fiduciary responsibility

n Insurance coverage against fiduciary errors and omissions

n Staff continuity

n Examination by internal auditors and external regulators

n Focus on the best interest of all beneficiaries both current and

future while implementing trust provisions

n An aversion to ldquointerpretingrdquo or adding to the trust documents in

order to divine the wishes of the creator

n State-of-the-art technology

n A reporting and accounting platform that supports both your

custody platform and all assets that will go into the trustn Established partnership relationships with multiple team members

Shopping for a Partner

How To Shop Words to Watch

As you put together a short list of trust companies that may be a good fit

for your clients remember that diversification is key Just as every one of

your clients is different and has unique needs many of the best provid-

ers are generalists who excel in a niche or two or are outright specialists

Learn to recognize the jargon that differentiates one trust company

from another so you can build a balanced team of potential partners

Some are geared toward self-directed IRAs and other pure hands-offcustody and administration Provident and Kingdom come to mind in

this yearrsquos group Others like New York Private and Premier shine when

it comes to classic directed trust where trust officers and advisors work

more closely together

Some of your clients will want to create trusts that favor one group or the

other If possible cultivate relationships with at least a few from either side

of the bench to give your clients the best pool of options to work with

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

your platform

A full 82 of our readers say finding a trust company they can

recommend to their best clients has translated into new relationships

enhanced account retention or both Thatrsquos it Itrsquos a pure business de-

cision and the numbers speak

for themselves

In terms of which trust

services provider can help you

achieve those goals you are all

about testimonials A reader

survey we ran in June 2013 re-

vealed that 80 of you say reputation and length of time in business

are the most important factors in picking a partner Only 22 are look-

ing for the lowest-price solution What does this mean Advisors look

for testimonials and case studies to prove that a potential partner canback up its claims That kind of information is hard to get from a web-

site so yoursquoll probably need to pick up the phone even if our Trust Advi-

sor Concierge does most of the legwork for you in advance

Once you make the calls yoursquoll have a much better idea of a trust

companyrsquos standing in the industry and whether it would be a good fit for

your clients If that side of the company passes muster yoursquove made clear

that even a tiny boutique vendor may be worth a few basis points more

Itrsquos not hard to figure out why most advisors are leery of referring

their clients to any trust company without a firm promise that

those accounts wonrsquot be poached

Herersquos the problem Trust assets rarely move They often stick with

the trust company For this reason unfriendly trust companies have

an opportunity to leverage that relationship to take assets away from

the advisormdashand they tend to do so

The solution is to find a partner that not only promises not to

prospect your clients away but lacks either the motive or the oppor-

tunity to even try Many of the trust companies that cater to invest-

ment advisors and their clients have a strong incentive not to com-

pete for assets for the simple reason that they donrsquot have in-house in-

vestment departments They couldnrsquot manage these portfolios if they

tried Others actively cultivate relationships that formally prevented

them from interfering with the way the trust assets are invested

In a directed trust the trustee is legally required to follow the in-

vestment directives of an outside advisor who maintains a close rela-

tionship with the portfolio and the clients Every single one of the trust

companies we consider extremely advisor-friendly go out of their way

to support directed trusts From their perspective itrsquos enough to ad-

minister the trust and leave the job of investing its property to others

And needless to say if theyrsquore content to administer the trust

theyrsquore equally content to leave the rest of your clientsrsquo assets alone

Adirected trust is an arrangement that allows you the advisor

to hand off the responsibility and burden of administering a

trust to an outside corporate trustee but retain control over

how the assets are invested

Obviously for most advisors finding the right partnering trust

firm may not be a simple task For most advisors finding the right di-

rected trust relationship is the ldquosweet spotrdquo between spending to run

a trust business in-house and turning the business away The breakthrough came in the 1990s when some states altered

the rules to allow the creators of a trust to direct the trust company to

follow the investment choices of an outside advisor

As far as the portfolio is concerned the advisor (you) is boss The

advisor earns the management fees The trust company earns its own

fee for handling everything else accounting custody (if required) re-

porting and payments to the beneficiaries

If the IRS needs to inspect the books the trust company handles

it If one of the people named in the trust documents has a special

request the trust company handles it

Since both trustee and investment advisor are thus free to do

what they do best this aligns the interest of all service providers with

the grantors and beneficiaries themselves

Some states welcome both directed and delegated trusts Others

only support one or the other While the words look similar the

nuances are important

The creator of a directed trust takes the job of managing the as-

sets from the trustee and assigns it to someone else This generally lets

the existing wealth manager keep on doing what he or she is doing

while releasing the trustee from all but the most basic responsibilities

over how the money is invested

Delegated trusts give the trustee the power to decide who will

manage all or some of the assets In this kind of relationship the trust-

ee remains responsible for overall performance and will monitor the

outside managerrsquos activities to ensure that all parties meet their fidu-

Location Is Everything

ciary obligations While many advisors naturally prefer to have the trustcreator direct management powers to them some clients may prefer

to leave the ability to delegate with an independent trust company

which then chooses the advisor and monitors investment decisions

After all an advisor who is willing to let the trust company keep

tabs on performancemdashor risk being firedmdashdemonstrates that the cli-

entrsquos long-term interests come first A confident professional has noth-

ing to hide and little to gain from insisting on locking in control of the

assets even if his or her competence is questioned

And directed advisors can be removed in extremis so insisting on

direction does not necessarily buy anyone additional security

Review the difference with your clients and ask them which ar-

rangement they prefer Emphasize that you can work with their deci-

sion in any event

You may have noticed that this paper refers to ldquosomerdquo states

ldquomostrdquo states and so on Location is everything in the trust

business

Not all US states support all of the major types of trust that your

clients may need and in fact some experts consider only a handful

of trust havensmdashAlaska Delaware Nevada and South Dakotamdashto be

really top-tier places to create and run a trust

However anyone from any state can set up a trust in any jurisdic-

tion so no advisor should feel constrained by whatrsquos available at home

Recent trends have led wealthy families and individuals to

of this many large family offices are opting for maximum flexibility

New to Us Not New to the Business

As you search these pages for the perfect trust partner yoursquoll notice

our inner circle falls into two camps the established fixtures of the

independent trust company movement and the names who are rela-

tively new to the advisor-friendly club Itrsquos important to point out that

while some very well-established industry bellwethers have only dem-

onstrated that they have what it takes in the last year they often have

decades if not centuries of expertise driving their operations

Every company we profile has provedmdashsometimes for multiple years

in a rowmdashthat it can work with advisors to get better client results

Thatrsquos our primary criterion and thatrsquos why you should at least glance

at every name in this book The names may be new to you but they

have clients and partners you can reach out to for recommendations

and testimonials

when the time comes to decide where to set up the new trust

Even if the prospective trust grantor doesnrsquot need a particular tax

benefit or class of protection at the moment these advisors know

that circumstances change And since multiple generations may be

part of the equation the trust must be able to evolve with the familyrsquos

needs Because of this many advisors look for a combination of fac-

tors when searching for a trust company

n Perpetuities Conventional trusts can expire a few decades

or maybe a century after the original grantor dies but many

states allow property to remain in trust for many generations

longer than the standard state and in some cases forever These

perpetual trusts or dynasty trusts are a very popular technique

for planners and clients today

n Favorable tax rules Avoiding state income or capital gains tax

is another key objective for planners to achieve for their clients

Alaska Florida Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington and

Wyoming do not impose an income tax on trusts Delaware does

not impose an income tax on trusts if the income or capital gains

are accumulated or distributed to non-resident beneficiaries

n Asset protection Some states offer varying degrees of protection

for locally domiciled trusts from the trust creatorrsquos creditors

While the language can be so vague as to be useless in court

jurisdictions like Nevada and South Dakota have a rich body of

statutes in place designed to shield property from legal claims

n Total return trusts Many states have enacted total return trust or

power-to-adjust statutes Trustees in these states can now invest

based on a total return approach and satisfy beneficiaries who

receive either a share of current income or the principal at a later

date Most states with total return trust legislation have the ability

to convert a trust to a unitrust percentage between 3 and 5

n Delegation Needless to say you want a trust provider that

operates in a state that allows an outside advisor to manage

the portfolio But this is not quite as intuitive as it initially seems

Review state statutes permitting segregation of duties to make

sure that the trustee will provide exactly the level of supervision

you find comfortable -- neither more nor lessn Privacy Most states have methods for insuring that fiduciary

matters will not be a matter of public record although some are

stronger than others However state laws differ on beneficiariesrsquo

entitlement to trust information and only a few states allow

a trust instrument to delay or prohibit disclosure of trust

information to future beneficiaries

Once you have your search narrowed to one or two states it is

time to find the right trust company to work with

Remember you want a partner that keeps its in-house

investment unit mdashif anymdashaway from your clients They should not be

trying to sell your clients proprietary investment products but theyshould have the capability to support any investments that you might

recommend now or in the future

Look for a corporate trust company that can provide evidence of

n Years of experience in administering trusts

n Specialization in trust administration custody and fiduciary tax

reporting services

n Knowledge of changes in the directed trust space and the trust

environment

n Dedication to fiduciary responsibility

n Insurance coverage against fiduciary errors and omissions

n Staff continuity

n Examination by internal auditors and external regulators

n Focus on the best interest of all beneficiaries both current and

future while implementing trust provisions

n An aversion to ldquointerpretingrdquo or adding to the trust documents in

order to divine the wishes of the creator

n State-of-the-art technology

n A reporting and accounting platform that supports both your

custody platform and all assets that will go into the trustn Established partnership relationships with multiple team members

Shopping for a Partner

How To Shop Words to Watch

As you put together a short list of trust companies that may be a good fit

for your clients remember that diversification is key Just as every one of

your clients is different and has unique needs many of the best provid-

ers are generalists who excel in a niche or two or are outright specialists

Learn to recognize the jargon that differentiates one trust company

from another so you can build a balanced team of potential partners

Some are geared toward self-directed IRAs and other pure hands-offcustody and administration Provident and Kingdom come to mind in

this yearrsquos group Others like New York Private and Premier shine when

it comes to classic directed trust where trust officers and advisors work

more closely together

Some of your clients will want to create trusts that favor one group or the

other If possible cultivate relationships with at least a few from either side

of the bench to give your clients the best pool of options to work with

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

tionship with the portfolio and the clients Every single one of the trust

companies we consider extremely advisor-friendly go out of their way

to support directed trusts From their perspective itrsquos enough to ad-

minister the trust and leave the job of investing its property to others

And needless to say if theyrsquore content to administer the trust

theyrsquore equally content to leave the rest of your clientsrsquo assets alone

Adirected trust is an arrangement that allows you the advisor

to hand off the responsibility and burden of administering a

trust to an outside corporate trustee but retain control over

how the assets are invested

Obviously for most advisors finding the right partnering trust

firm may not be a simple task For most advisors finding the right di-

rected trust relationship is the ldquosweet spotrdquo between spending to run

a trust business in-house and turning the business away The breakthrough came in the 1990s when some states altered

the rules to allow the creators of a trust to direct the trust company to

follow the investment choices of an outside advisor

As far as the portfolio is concerned the advisor (you) is boss The

advisor earns the management fees The trust company earns its own

fee for handling everything else accounting custody (if required) re-

porting and payments to the beneficiaries

If the IRS needs to inspect the books the trust company handles

it If one of the people named in the trust documents has a special

request the trust company handles it

Since both trustee and investment advisor are thus free to do

what they do best this aligns the interest of all service providers with

the grantors and beneficiaries themselves

Some states welcome both directed and delegated trusts Others

only support one or the other While the words look similar the

nuances are important

The creator of a directed trust takes the job of managing the as-

sets from the trustee and assigns it to someone else This generally lets

the existing wealth manager keep on doing what he or she is doing

while releasing the trustee from all but the most basic responsibilities

over how the money is invested

Delegated trusts give the trustee the power to decide who will

manage all or some of the assets In this kind of relationship the trust-

ee remains responsible for overall performance and will monitor the

outside managerrsquos activities to ensure that all parties meet their fidu-

Location Is Everything

ciary obligations While many advisors naturally prefer to have the trustcreator direct management powers to them some clients may prefer

to leave the ability to delegate with an independent trust company

which then chooses the advisor and monitors investment decisions

After all an advisor who is willing to let the trust company keep

tabs on performancemdashor risk being firedmdashdemonstrates that the cli-

entrsquos long-term interests come first A confident professional has noth-

ing to hide and little to gain from insisting on locking in control of the

assets even if his or her competence is questioned

And directed advisors can be removed in extremis so insisting on

direction does not necessarily buy anyone additional security

Review the difference with your clients and ask them which ar-

rangement they prefer Emphasize that you can work with their deci-

sion in any event

You may have noticed that this paper refers to ldquosomerdquo states

ldquomostrdquo states and so on Location is everything in the trust

business

Not all US states support all of the major types of trust that your

clients may need and in fact some experts consider only a handful

of trust havensmdashAlaska Delaware Nevada and South Dakotamdashto be

really top-tier places to create and run a trust

However anyone from any state can set up a trust in any jurisdic-

tion so no advisor should feel constrained by whatrsquos available at home

Recent trends have led wealthy families and individuals to

seek out the most favorable environments for their assets Because

of this many large family offices are opting for maximum flexibility

New to Us Not New to the Business

As you search these pages for the perfect trust partner yoursquoll notice

our inner circle falls into two camps the established fixtures of the

independent trust company movement and the names who are rela-

tively new to the advisor-friendly club Itrsquos important to point out that

while some very well-established industry bellwethers have only dem-

onstrated that they have what it takes in the last year they often have

decades if not centuries of expertise driving their operations

Every company we profile has provedmdashsometimes for multiple years

in a rowmdashthat it can work with advisors to get better client results

Thatrsquos our primary criterion and thatrsquos why you should at least glance

at every name in this book The names may be new to you but they

have clients and partners you can reach out to for recommendations

and testimonials

that circumstances change And since multiple generations may be

part of the equation the trust must be able to evolve with the familyrsquos

needs Because of this many advisors look for a combination of fac-

tors when searching for a trust company

n Perpetuities Conventional trusts can expire a few decades

or maybe a century after the original grantor dies but many

states allow property to remain in trust for many generations

longer than the standard state and in some cases forever These

perpetual trusts or dynasty trusts are a very popular technique

for planners and clients today

n Favorable tax rules Avoiding state income or capital gains tax

is another key objective for planners to achieve for their clients

Alaska Florida Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington and

Wyoming do not impose an income tax on trusts Delaware does

not impose an income tax on trusts if the income or capital gains

are accumulated or distributed to non-resident beneficiaries

n Asset protection Some states offer varying degrees of protection

for locally domiciled trusts from the trust creatorrsquos creditors

While the language can be so vague as to be useless in court

jurisdictions like Nevada and South Dakota have a rich body of

statutes in place designed to shield property from legal claims

n Total return trusts Many states have enacted total return trust or

power-to-adjust statutes Trustees in these states can now invest

based on a total return approach and satisfy beneficiaries who

receive either a share of current income or the principal at a later

date Most states with total return trust legislation have the ability

to convert a trust to a unitrust percentage between 3 and 5

n Delegation Needless to say you want a trust provider that

operates in a state that allows an outside advisor to manage

the portfolio But this is not quite as intuitive as it initially seems

Review state statutes permitting segregation of duties to make

sure that the trustee will provide exactly the level of supervision

you find comfortable -- neither more nor lessn Privacy Most states have methods for insuring that fiduciary

matters will not be a matter of public record although some are

stronger than others However state laws differ on beneficiariesrsquo

entitlement to trust information and only a few states allow

a trust instrument to delay or prohibit disclosure of trust

information to future beneficiaries

Once you have your search narrowed to one or two states it is

time to find the right trust company to work with

Remember you want a partner that keeps its in-house

investment unit mdashif anymdashaway from your clients They should not be

trying to sell your clients proprietary investment products but theyshould have the capability to support any investments that you might

recommend now or in the future

Look for a corporate trust company that can provide evidence of

n Years of experience in administering trusts

n Specialization in trust administration custody and fiduciary tax

reporting services

n Knowledge of changes in the directed trust space and the trust

environment

n Dedication to fiduciary responsibility

n Insurance coverage against fiduciary errors and omissions

n Staff continuity

n Examination by internal auditors and external regulators

n Focus on the best interest of all beneficiaries both current and

future while implementing trust provisions

n An aversion to ldquointerpretingrdquo or adding to the trust documents in

order to divine the wishes of the creator

n State-of-the-art technology

n A reporting and accounting platform that supports both your

custody platform and all assets that will go into the trustn Established partnership relationships with multiple team members

Shopping for a Partner

How To Shop Words to Watch

As you put together a short list of trust companies that may be a good fit

for your clients remember that diversification is key Just as every one of

your clients is different and has unique needs many of the best provid-

ers are generalists who excel in a niche or two or are outright specialists

Learn to recognize the jargon that differentiates one trust company

from another so you can build a balanced team of potential partners

Some are geared toward self-directed IRAs and other pure hands-offcustody and administration Provident and Kingdom come to mind in

this yearrsquos group Others like New York Private and Premier shine when

it comes to classic directed trust where trust officers and advisors work

more closely together

Some of your clients will want to create trusts that favor one group or the

other If possible cultivate relationships with at least a few from either side

of the bench to give your clients the best pool of options to work with

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Location Is Everything

ciary obligations While many advisors naturally prefer to have the trustcreator direct management powers to them some clients may prefer

to leave the ability to delegate with an independent trust company

which then chooses the advisor and monitors investment decisions

After all an advisor who is willing to let the trust company keep

tabs on performancemdashor risk being firedmdashdemonstrates that the cli-

entrsquos long-term interests come first A confident professional has noth-

ing to hide and little to gain from insisting on locking in control of the

assets even if his or her competence is questioned

And directed advisors can be removed in extremis so insisting on

direction does not necessarily buy anyone additional security

Review the difference with your clients and ask them which ar-

rangement they prefer Emphasize that you can work with their deci-

sion in any event

You may have noticed that this paper refers to ldquosomerdquo states

ldquomostrdquo states and so on Location is everything in the trust

business

Not all US states support all of the major types of trust that your

clients may need and in fact some experts consider only a handful

of trust havensmdashAlaska Delaware Nevada and South Dakotamdashto be

really top-tier places to create and run a trust

However anyone from any state can set up a trust in any jurisdic-

tion so no advisor should feel constrained by whatrsquos available at home

Recent trends have led wealthy families and individuals to

seek out the most favorable environments for their assets Because

of this many large family offices are opting for maximum flexibility

New to Us Not New to the Business

As you search these pages for the perfect trust partner yoursquoll notice

our inner circle falls into two camps the established fixtures of the

independent trust company movement and the names who are rela-

tively new to the advisor-friendly club Itrsquos important to point out that

while some very well-established industry bellwethers have only dem-

onstrated that they have what it takes in the last year they often have

decades if not centuries of expertise driving their operations

Every company we profile has provedmdashsometimes for multiple years

in a rowmdashthat it can work with advisors to get better client results

Thatrsquos our primary criterion and thatrsquos why you should at least glance

at every name in this book The names may be new to you but they

have clients and partners you can reach out to for recommendations

and testimonials

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

when the time comes to decide where to set up the new trust

Even if the prospective trust grantor doesnrsquot need a particular tax

benefit or class of protection at the moment these advisors know

that circumstances change And since multiple generations may be

part of the equation the trust must be able to evolve with the familyrsquos

needs Because of this many advisors look for a combination of fac-

tors when searching for a trust company

n Perpetuities Conventional trusts can expire a few decades

or maybe a century after the original grantor dies but many

states allow property to remain in trust for many generations

longer than the standard state and in some cases forever These

perpetual trusts or dynasty trusts are a very popular technique

for planners and clients today

n Favorable tax rules Avoiding state income or capital gains tax

is another key objective for planners to achieve for their clients

Alaska Florida Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington and

Wyoming do not impose an income tax on trusts Delaware does

not impose an income tax on trusts if the income or capital gains

are accumulated or distributed to non-resident beneficiaries

n Asset protection Some states offer varying degrees of protection

for locally domiciled trusts from the trust creatorrsquos creditors

While the language can be so vague as to be useless in court

jurisdictions like Nevada and South Dakota have a rich body of

statutes in place designed to shield property from legal claims

n Total return trusts Many states have enacted total return trust or

power-to-adjust statutes Trustees in these states can now invest

based on a total return approach and satisfy beneficiaries who

receive either a share of current income or the principal at a later

date Most states with total return trust legislation have the ability

to convert a trust to a unitrust percentage between 3 and 5

n Delegation Needless to say you want a trust provider that

operates in a state that allows an outside advisor to manage

the portfolio But this is not quite as intuitive as it initially seems

Review state statutes permitting segregation of duties to make

sure that the trustee will provide exactly the level of supervision

you find comfortable -- neither more nor lessn Privacy Most states have methods for insuring that fiduciary

matters will not be a matter of public record although some are

stronger than others However state laws differ on beneficiariesrsquo

entitlement to trust information and only a few states allow

a trust instrument to delay or prohibit disclosure of trust

information to future beneficiaries

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Once you have your search narrowed to one or two states it is

time to find the right trust company to work with

Remember you want a partner that keeps its in-house

investment unit mdashif anymdashaway from your clients They should not be

trying to sell your clients proprietary investment products but theyshould have the capability to support any investments that you might

recommend now or in the future

Look for a corporate trust company that can provide evidence of

n Years of experience in administering trusts

n Specialization in trust administration custody and fiduciary tax

reporting services

n Knowledge of changes in the directed trust space and the trust

environment

n Dedication to fiduciary responsibility

n Insurance coverage against fiduciary errors and omissions

n Staff continuity

n Examination by internal auditors and external regulators

n Focus on the best interest of all beneficiaries both current and

future while implementing trust provisions

n An aversion to ldquointerpretingrdquo or adding to the trust documents in

order to divine the wishes of the creator

n State-of-the-art technology

n A reporting and accounting platform that supports both your

custody platform and all assets that will go into the trustn Established partnership relationships with multiple team members

from another so you can build a balanced team of potential partners

Some are geared toward self-directed IRAs and other pure hands-offcustody and administration Provident and Kingdom come to mind in

this yearrsquos group Others like New York Private and Premier shine when

it comes to classic directed trust where trust officers and advisors work

more closely together

Some of your clients will want to create trusts that favor one group or the

other If possible cultivate relationships with at least a few from either side

of the bench to give your clients the best pool of options to work with

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

when the time comes to decide where to set up the new trust

Even if the prospective trust grantor doesnrsquot need a particular tax

benefit or class of protection at the moment these advisors know

that circumstances change And since multiple generations may be

part of the equation the trust must be able to evolve with the familyrsquos

needs Because of this many advisors look for a combination of fac-

tors when searching for a trust company

n Perpetuities Conventional trusts can expire a few decades

or maybe a century after the original grantor dies but many

states allow property to remain in trust for many generations

longer than the standard state and in some cases forever These

perpetual trusts or dynasty trusts are a very popular technique

for planners and clients today

n Favorable tax rules Avoiding state income or capital gains tax

is another key objective for planners to achieve for their clients

Alaska Florida Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington and

Wyoming do not impose an income tax on trusts Delaware does

not impose an income tax on trusts if the income or capital gains

are accumulated or distributed to non-resident beneficiaries

n Asset protection Some states offer varying degrees of protection

for locally domiciled trusts from the trust creatorrsquos creditors

While the language can be so vague as to be useless in court

jurisdictions like Nevada and South Dakota have a rich body of

statutes in place designed to shield property from legal claims

n Total return trusts Many states have enacted total return trust or

power-to-adjust statutes Trustees in these states can now invest

based on a total return approach and satisfy beneficiaries who

receive either a share of current income or the principal at a later

date Most states with total return trust legislation have the ability

to convert a trust to a unitrust percentage between 3 and 5

n Delegation Needless to say you want a trust provider that

operates in a state that allows an outside advisor to manage

the portfolio But this is not quite as intuitive as it initially seems

Review state statutes permitting segregation of duties to make

sure that the trustee will provide exactly the level of supervision

you find comfortable -- neither more nor lessn Privacy Most states have methods for insuring that fiduciary

matters will not be a matter of public record although some are

stronger than others However state laws differ on beneficiariesrsquo

entitlement to trust information and only a few states allow

a trust instrument to delay or prohibit disclosure of trust

information to future beneficiaries

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Once you have your search narrowed to one or two states it is

time to find the right trust company to work with

Remember you want a partner that keeps its in-house

investment unit mdashif anymdashaway from your clients They should not be

trying to sell your clients proprietary investment products but theyshould have the capability to support any investments that you might

recommend now or in the future

Look for a corporate trust company that can provide evidence of

n Years of experience in administering trusts

n Specialization in trust administration custody and fiduciary tax

reporting services

n Knowledge of changes in the directed trust space and the trust

environment

n Dedication to fiduciary responsibility

n Insurance coverage against fiduciary errors and omissions

n Staff continuity

n Examination by internal auditors and external regulators

n Focus on the best interest of all beneficiaries both current and

future while implementing trust provisions

n An aversion to ldquointerpretingrdquo or adding to the trust documents in

order to divine the wishes of the creator

n State-of-the-art technology

n A reporting and accounting platform that supports both your

custody platform and all assets that will go into the trustn Established partnership relationships with multiple team members

Shopping for a Partner

How To Shop Words to Watch

As you put together a short list of trust companies that may be a good fit

for your clients remember that diversification is key Just as every one of

your clients is different and has unique needs many of the best provid-

ers are generalists who excel in a niche or two or are outright specialists

Learn to recognize the jargon that differentiates one trust company

from another so you can build a balanced team of potential partners

Some are geared toward self-directed IRAs and other pure hands-offcustody and administration Provident and Kingdom come to mind in

this yearrsquos group Others like New York Private and Premier shine when

it comes to classic directed trust where trust officers and advisors work

more closely together

Some of your clients will want to create trusts that favor one group or the

other If possible cultivate relationships with at least a few from either side

of the bench to give your clients the best pool of options to work with

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Once you have your search narrowed to one or two states it is

time to find the right trust company to work with

Remember you want a partner that keeps its in-house

investment unit mdashif anymdashaway from your clients They should not be

trying to sell your clients proprietary investment products but theyshould have the capability to support any investments that you might

recommend now or in the future

Look for a corporate trust company that can provide evidence of

n Years of experience in administering trusts

n Specialization in trust administration custody and fiduciary tax

reporting services

n Knowledge of changes in the directed trust space and the trust

environment

n Dedication to fiduciary responsibility

n Insurance coverage against fiduciary errors and omissions

n Staff continuity

n Examination by internal auditors and external regulators

n Focus on the best interest of all beneficiaries both current and

future while implementing trust provisions

n An aversion to ldquointerpretingrdquo or adding to the trust documents in

order to divine the wishes of the creator

n State-of-the-art technology

n A reporting and accounting platform that supports both your

custody platform and all assets that will go into the trustn Established partnership relationships with multiple team members

Shopping for a Partner

How To Shop Words to Watch

As you put together a short list of trust companies that may be a good fit

for your clients remember that diversification is key Just as every one of

your clients is different and has unique needs many of the best provid-

ers are generalists who excel in a niche or two or are outright specialists

Learn to recognize the jargon that differentiates one trust company

from another so you can build a balanced team of potential partners

Some are geared toward self-directed IRAs and other pure hands-offcustody and administration Provident and Kingdom come to mind in

this yearrsquos group Others like New York Private and Premier shine when

it comes to classic directed trust where trust officers and advisors work

more closely together

Some of your clients will want to create trusts that favor one group or the

other If possible cultivate relationships with at least a few from either side

of the bench to give your clients the best pool of options to work with

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

they donrsquot want to get caught in the marketing machine Donrsquot despair

mously he can make the calls for you and report back with the results

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

n Ideally a dedicated trust officer assigned to each account

n Examinations of how payments and beneficiaryclient

communications are handled

Advisors seeking a trust company for a directed trust that does

not contain discretionary provisions can focus on the easy questions

n Is a dedicated trust officer responsible for each account

n How are income or principal requests handled What are the

turnaround times and payment methods

n How are communications with the beneficiary handled

n How quickly can the trust company respond to document re-

view interpretation and explanation requests from a client or

financial advisor

When trustee discretion is an issue the process of finding the right

fit can become more difficult and chemistry becomes more important

Advisors should not expect (or even want) a trustee charged to

act with discretion to be a ldquopushoverrdquo or simple rubber-stamp entity

so it is important to be able to establish a good working relationship

Furthermore a prospective directed trust company should not

guarantee distributions will be made in the future Such commit-

ments could jeopardize the trust and would compromise the trusteersquos

fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust

At this point it is a good idea to bring your clients into the conver-

sation If a good ldquofitrdquo between the advisor and the prospective trustee

is important it is absolutely crucial that the client and the new trusteebe able to work well together

Although there are no definitive guidelines advisors should keep

the following points in mind when interviewing prospective directed

trust companies in the presence of a client

n Does the trust company mention the role of advisor if any in the

administration process

Making an Anonymous Inquiry

Many of our readers avoid reaching out to trust companies because

they donrsquot want to get caught in the marketing machine Donrsquot despair

This is one of the reasons we created the Concierge service in the first

place If you tell him yoursquod like to audition trust companies anony-

mously he can make the calls for you and report back with the results

You get all the information you need and they never even figure out

yoursquore in the market And as always the service is complimentary

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

n Do answers to specific process questions consist of ldquorapid firerdquo lists

of requirements and documentation to be provided by the client

n Do the answers indicate the trustee is in a position of power

and authority or reflect an attitude of cooperation and

respect for the client

Listen for verbal clues that the trust company has hired andtrained employees to embrace the directed trust concept People

from the bank trust world may not understand or appreciate the need

to work on a partnership basis with advisors and their clients

Naturally corporate trustees need to charge for their service

While regulators are pushing for greater transparency here

this fee is often all-inclusive or bundled in such a way that

beneficiaries and their advisors have a hard time determining where

their money goes

Traditional all-in-one trust companies further obscured the cash

flows by charging a fee that compensates them for their investment

management services fiduciary risk and other ldquosoft non-value added

servicesrdquo provided to clients

Directed trusts on the other hand generally separate the invest-

ment advisory fee from the corporate trustee fee As a result clients

receive much clearer insight into what they are paying -- and often a

lower total fee as well

In general fee schedules for directed trust companies fall in a range

from 050 to 075 on the first $1 million and then drop according tovarying breakpoints thereafter Minimum annual fees range from $4000

regardless of asset level although some types of trust start in the $1500

range A few vendors will charge a flat fee for any amount of assets

Additional fees may apply for real estate held in trust estate set-

tlement and termination fees tax preparation andor filing or miscel-

laneous extraordinary services

Note The IRS has ruled that all corporate trustees are now required to

separately account for investment and administration fees This is intended

to remove the tax advantage of a ldquounitaryrdquo trust in which the entire trustee

fee can be deducted as opposed to a trust that charges separate fees and

only allows partial deductibility of fees Directed trusts already break out

the fees in this way but because this is a relatively new development it gives

you a good ldquotalking pointrdquo in your negotiations with trust companies

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Once upon a time dealing with paperwork was the primary

objective of every trust organization in the business Even

today some trust officers are still content to fill out and file

all the necessary forms it takes to keep a trust running and compliant

with all applicable regulationsHowever some firms have embraced technology that makes it

possible for them to take their trusts out of the late 19th Century

The right accounting platform can interface with the modern

state-of-the-art portfolio management tools that directed and dele-

gated advisors use today while incorporating your best tax optimiza-

tion and rebalancing strategies The investment architecture can now

be truly open working with any third-party or in-house alternative

assets your platform supports

Integrated multi-custodian data feeds allow the administrators of

large trusts to track thousands of open investment positions report

market values and attribute performance with a minimum of delay

and errors This functionality in turn is what makes the very existence

of smaller trusts possible

A modern trust administrator may be able to share data with your

customer relationship management system and provide other inte-

gration benefits If this kind of efficiency matters to you itrsquos important

to ask a potential partner whether you can get it

But the primary advantage technology is bringing to the trust

business is the elimination of paper Moving the forms into secure pa-perless environments has been essential for a new generation of trust

officers who can now give beneficiaries grantors and investment ad-

visors alike access to all necessary documents

Forms can be sent out for fast electronic signature and then stored

electronically as well for instant access The faster the signature fields are

populated the faster distributions and other complex processes can move

Ask about technology when you have a conversation with a po-

tential trust partner You may not require them to have a full-fledged

cutting-edge solution but you may not want an old system of filing

cards and ledgers either

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative

2014 Americarsquos Most Advisor-Friendly Trust Companies

Atrue directed trust arrangement is created when the person

who is initially transferring the assets decides to require or ldquodi-

rectrdquo the trustee to delegate the investment responsibilities

to a registered investment advisor stockbroker financial planner or

other family advisorIn these cases the trusteersquos fiduciary responsibility for the invest-

ments is formally reduced to the point where he or she is exonerated

from all liability except in circumstances involving willful misconduct

Some states have slightly stricter requirements that force directed

trustees to double-check that the advisorrsquos decisions are truly suit-

able while others take a more laissez-faire approach

For most practical purposes while the trustee retains some con-

tinuing liability for investment performance in a directed trust ar-

rangement it is close to zero

Directed trust statutes formally define the separate duties and re-

sponsibilities of trustee and advisor Both are appointed as fiduciaries

even if the advisor is not normally engaged in a fiduciary role This

separation of duties is called ldquobifurcationrdquo in industry marketing lingo

When a wealthy individual decides to use a directed approach for

his or her trust he or she generally appoints an existing advisor or

advisory firm in the controlling document

Specifics vary by state Nevada for example provides for addi-

tional roles within the arrangement Trust creators can appoint a ldquotrust

protectorrdquo who has the discretion to modify the trust in various waysto take advantage of changing rules or to direct the trustee to make

mdash or withhold mdash distributions Not surprisingly these three-party ar-

rangements are referred to as ldquotrifurcationrdquo

Some states also allow the trustee to delegate the investment

function to an outside advisor In these relationships the trust es-

sentially serves as an institutional client in a normal advisory practice

Such clients can be very lucrative
