Vistra Sponsors Cancerbackup Golf Day

Vistra - Trust — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:55:59 GMT

This year’s Vistra Golf Day in support of Cancerbackup was a great success once again, raising over��12,000 for the charity which celebrates its 21st Birthday this year. The Captains’ Team, made up of John Hutchins, Sheila Smith, Claire Reid and Bob Bowden scooped first prize with 98 points, narrowly beating CCSS (Georgina Cottini, Eddy Cottini, Stacey Sarre and Roger Small) into second place with 96. It’s Magic (Richard True, Pauline True, Joe Francis, Mike Brooks) came third.

Cancerbackup Jersey was created to give cancer patients and their families and friends the up to date information, practical advice and support they need to reduce the fear and uncertainty of cancer. The money raised goes towards funding a Cancer Information Centre and Cancer Information Nurse Specialist.

Dennis Lavin, CEO for Vistra Jersey commented: "We are delighted to be helping Cancerbackup once again this year. The Golf Day was a great success in raising more than �12,000, and was such an enjoyable way to support a worthy cause. Cancer is an illness which unfortunately touches the lives of so many people in Jersey, and if we can help raise funds to make sure those people and their friends, relatives and colleagues have access to as much information and support as possible it’ll be a job well done. I would like to personally thank all those who took part, and we hope to see them again next year".

Vistra - Trust — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:18:00 GMT

Vistra director, Walter Stresemann is the subject of a profile in the "Leaders" section in the latest issue of prestigious Swiss industry magazine, Banque & Finance.

The article by respected finance journalist Mohammad Farrokh, discusses Walter’s work in Geneva, the town where his Nobel Peace Prize winning grandfather gave a pivotal speech to the League of Nations 80 years ago.

Farrokh describes Walter as one of "Geneva’s foremost trust specialists", a natural leader with an "innate understanding of human relations" and briefly outlines his career in the Swiss finance industry which spans over twenty years.

After acquiring "impeccable academic credentials" in both the USA and Geneva, Walter began his career with the Cantrade Group. A number of mergers and acquisitions resulted in him working for the Belgo-Dutch group Fortis. However, dissatisfied with organisational changes, Walter joined the Board of Directors at Vistra in 2007. Farrokh acknowledges the work of Walter and Vistra CEO, Bart Deconinck, in driving the growth of Vistra, which "less than two years after its formation, employs 200 people worldwide".

Farrokh’s article is a short but fascinating insight into the life and history of one the driving forces behind Vistra’s success.

Vistra trio recognised as being top of their field

Vistra - Trust — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 15:36:59 GMT

Carola Breusch, Vistra’s Head of Corporate Services, Bart Deconinck, Vistra CEO and Peter Rice, a Senior Relationship Manager in Jersey have all been named as leading figures in the Private Wealth Management industry by CityWealth, a sector specific publishing company.

Senior Relationship Manager, Peter Rice is recognised as one of the Private Wealth Management industry’s "Prominent Figures".

Swiss financial sector reforms

Vistra - Trust — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:53:00 GMT

Walter Stresemann, Director at Vistra, recently had an article published in IFC review. The article focuses on the fact that Switzerland is in the throes of substantial change with reforms set to change the way business is done in the Swiss financial sector.

The changes include the ratification of the Hague Convention which means that there is a firm legal basis for the country’s growing trustee business. Parallel amendments to federal legislation on private law, debt enforcement and bankruptcy means that there is more legal certainty as a solid legal framework will create a much more stable environment for the setting up and administration of trusts. This will also help to promote the country’s appeal as a perfect location for private wealth management.

Another major reform that has been enacted is the establishment of a new Federal Financial Market Supervisory Authority (to be known as FINMA). FINMA will group together the regulatory workings of three watchdogs: the Federal Banking Commission, the Federal Office of Private Insurance and the Money Laundering Control Authority. The intended effect of FINMA is to provide a single, efficient supervisory authority that will maintain the requirements of the original three supervisory sectors, thus banks still have to fulfil the requirements of the Banking Act, insurance companies will still abide by the legislation of the Insurance Supervision Act, and so on.

Finally, a series of measures have been put forward by the financial industry as a comprehensive package aimed at doubling the financial sector’s contribution to GDP from 15% to 30%, as well as adding somewhere between CHF11bn and CHF17bn in new tax receipts. The aim is to catapult Switzerland into the top three global financial centres by 2015 following a significant slowing of wealth creation in the country since the 1980’s. These reforms are all designed to strengthen and enhance the competitiveness of the Swiss financial sector and targets eight key areas:

-�� private banking
-�� retail banking��
-��investment funds
-��pensions business
-�� hedge funds
-�� private equity
-�� Swiss capital market
-�� Commodity trade finance

Walter concludes by stating that these proposed reforms are astonishing not just for the comprehensive approach they have adopted but also because the Swiss are taking a very strong offensive stance (in contrast to the traditional defensive strategy related to banking secrecy and asset management) to establish Switzerland once more as a leading world financial centre and a world player with regard to traditional mutual funds, hedge funds and private equity.

Vistra finalises the acquisition of Monterey Group

Vistra - Trust — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 17:35:00 GMT

Following the press release made on 13 July 2007, Vistra is pleased to announce that it has now finalised the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Monterey Group. The transaction was completed on the 12th December after full approval from the Dutch Central Bank.

Monterey Group is the combination of Monterey, a fiduciary business formerly owned by Fortis, and Rijnhove Group, a Dutch accounting and fiduciary business with roots that go back to 1989. Monterey Group employs 37 staff, of which 32 are in The Netherlands and 5 are in Cura�ao.

This acquisition not only strengthens Vistra’s presence in the Netherlands but also adds Cura�ao to our global footprint. In The Netherlands, Vistra will now be able to serve customers from Breda, as well as Amsterdam, thus providing perfect coverage for two complimentary business feeder networks.

Monterey will be re-branded to Vistra in the course of the first quarter of 2008.

Vistra Opens Istanbul Office

Vistra - Trust — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 13:40:00 GMT

We are pleased to announce that Vistra has opened a representative office in Istanbul.

The office will focus on serving the large number of wealthy Turkish individuals who are looking for expertise in wealth protection and business structuring.

Having a presence in Turkey is an important step in Vistra’s sales and marketing plans and results from the identification of a growing network of wealthy individuals in the country.

There is a strong case for opening an office in Turkey as the country is currently experiencing an amazing economic growth rate which reached almost 10% in 2006 and importantly, which is built upon a stable economy. Turkey also has strong traditional and business links with most Arabic countries and therefore provides a clear access �route to Middle Eastern markets.

Onur Kizilot, who is Vistra’s representative in Istanbul, will be delighted to answer any questions that you may have. You can contact�Onur by�email or by calling him on +90 (0)212 252 82 35.

Vistra brand is nominated for award

Vistra - Trust — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 11:23:00 GMT

The strength of the Vistra brand has been recognised by the Chartered Institute of Marketing in Jersey. Vistra has been shortlisted for the Best Use of Brand Award in the Island’s annual marketing awards with the winner being announced at a ceremony held at the Hotel de France on the 2nd November. Vistra will host a table at this event, the CIM Gala Ball and whilst we hope to come back with the silverware, we are delighted to have been nominated.

The nomination is for "Crossing Borders – Creating Solutions", a campaign designed by Advertising International, who have themselves been nominated in the Best Agency category. The designs combine the striking environmental photography of Yann Arthus-Bertrand with Advertising International’s simple, yet dynamic design elements. Bringing the two together has created a brand that truly reflects the company’s ethos of "Crossing Borders – Creating Solutions".

The timing of the nomination also adds weight to the brand awareness campaign which continues to be rolled-out across key airports and in certain in-flight magazines. The campaign is focused on raising awareness among intermediaries and potential private and corporate clients. The strong response to date, has been clearly reflected in this nomination for the Best Use of Brand Award.

Our thanks go to Advertising International for their creative work, which has made the most of Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s images, fully supporting the Vistra brand.

Vistra's view on UK pre-budget report

Vistra - Trust — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 14:57:00 GMT

As you may be aware the Chancellor revealed potential new changes to the tax laws governing UK resident but non-domiciled individuals and also for individuals non-resident, but ordinarily resident in the UK. To summarise, non-domiciled individuals, resident in the UK for at least seven years will pay an additional charge of �30,000 per annum, in order to avoid UK taxation on overseas income and gains.�In addition, a change to the 90 day residence rule was also announced.

In fact, what both the Chancellor and the main opposition party have done is to confirm the UK’s status as a tax haven for non-domiciled individuals, ending years of speculation of "will he won’t he abolish the non-domicile rules".�Last week�saw a clear indication that non-domicile is here to stay, but at a small cost.�

The new rules are intended to come into effect from 6 April 2008.�Years of tax residence prior to 6 April 2008, will however count towards the seven years.�The effect of the rule is that, if an individual wishes to retain non-domicile status and therefore be subject to tax only on remittances from offshore, a �30,000 charge will be levied per annum.�If not, then the individual will in effect be domiciled in the UK.�

The proposed �30,000 per annum charge for the non-dom status will be for most people a small cost compared to the benefit gained, which we think is the rationale behind the charge.�

There has been some talk that the �30,000 charge will put off those who wish to claim non-domicile, but are not yet in a position to benefit from it, because their foreign income (unremitted) is too small to justify paying the �30,000 charge. We at Vistra disagree, as the de minimus level of �1,000, will allow clients to claim "non-dom" status, keep under �1,000 of unremitted foreign income and not pay the �30,000. They are able therefore to plan when they need to start paying the charge.��

We have already identified several ways of mitigating against the new rules for the benefit of our clients but as the full changes, such as "ceased source" rules and anti avoidance provisions against conversion of income into capital, are not yet known, and will be going to "consultation", it is too early at this stage to release our full proposals.��

The proposed legislation regarding the 90 day rule, is for most clients not an issue, but it will mean that ex-UK tax residents will now have to plan their visits to the UK in a better way, as the concession for days of travel has now been withdrawn. This may mean some frequent travellers could be in danger of being ordinarily resident. The new rules will still allow 18 working weeks in the UK, which for most will not be a problem.�

We will be releasing a detailed synopsis on this matter when the draft bill is published and will be providing regular updates to all our clients. �In the meantime should you have any queries please email Greg MacRae or call him on +44 207 268 2430.

Vistra launches advertising campaign

Vistra - Trust — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 10:57:59 GMT

We are pleased to announce that Vistra has launched an advertising campaign to position Vistra as a recognised brand in the trust and corporate services industry.

Vistra’s adverts, based on our Yann Arthus Bertrand imagery,�have been visible in Jersey and Luxembourg airports since July, taking advantage of the huge traffic of�business travellers�to and�from these destinations. To reinforce Vistra’s presence in airports, our ads will also appear�in VLM’s in-flight magazine. This will be available from November on the Luxembourg, Rotterdam, Amsterdam,�Jersey and LondonCity flights. We have chosen to advertise with VLM because 80% of the airline’s passengers are senior international business passengers.

To create our first impact in the�emerging African�market, Vistra will publish an advert in the�November issue of African Business magazine. This publication focuses on the most relevant economic, political and�industrial trends in Africa and is read by anyone interested in the economy and development of the continent. African Business can be found on-board and in the executive lounges of British Airways and Lufthansa flights. Above all, the November issue will be distributed to all the participants of the US-Africa Business Summit, taking place in Cape Town on November 14-16. 1’500 business leaders from top US, European and African companies are expected to attend.

This advertising campaign shows more than ever, that Vistra is�crossing borders and creating solutions.

The Monaco Yacht Show

Vistra - Trust — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 16:05:00 GMT

Vistra’s Marine and Aviation team, led by Matthew Ruane and Marina Gall, had a significant presence at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show. Over 20,000 people attended the yachting industry’s premier exhibition, which this year played host to 97 of the world’s most prestigious super yachts, from the ultra cool Wally Power at a mere 22m up to state of the art leviathans such as Oceanco’s 82m Alfa Nero.

Vistra’s presence in the main exhibition area was enhanced by a new custom-built exhibition stand which not only stood out from the 500 other industry-related exhibitors, but successfully communicated Vistra’s fresh, clean new brand and service-orientated approach to the industry.

During the show, the team were kept extremely busy by existing clients, captains and industry professionals, leaving early mornings and some (late!) evenings to meet premiere clients and secure new business.

Off the back of this success the team will be further expanding to accommodate the increased demand. Matthew Ruane commented "We have had a great response to the new brand and coupled with our ability to offer the most accurate and comprehensive service in this highly competitive market we are well on track now to establishing ourselves as market leaders in corporate services to the large yacht and aircraft sectors".

Walter Stresemann article in Offshore Investor

Vistra - Trust — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 21:14:00 GMT

Vistra’s profile in the press received a further boost recently with Offshore Investor Magazine publishing an informative article about the Swiss Trust Industry by Walter Stresemann of Vistra, in their July/ August issue.

The article looks at the effects of Switzerland’s recent ratification of the Hague Convention on the international recognition of trusts.

Walter asserts that the ratification of the Hague Convention will create a firm legal basis for Switzerland’s growing trustee business and unlike other countries, which have already ratified the Convention, Switzerland is also introducing specific rules in its private international law dealing with international jurisdictions and the recognition/enforcement of judgments in trust-related matters.

On the international private law level, there will be freedom of choice with respect to legal forums for contesting trustee actions and with regard to debt enforcement and bankruptcy. The Swiss government has amended the Federal Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Act to explicitly distinguish between the personal assets of the trustee and the trust in Swiss-based debt enforcement proceedings.

The article praises the greater legal certainty that these legislative changes provide because a solid legal foundation is likely to create a better climate for the setting up and administration of trusts in Switzerland, and also promotes the country’s appeal as an excellent location for private wealth management.

However, the question of appropriate regulation is portrayed as a contentious issue with the Swiss Bankers’ Association (SBA) supporting the introduction of specific licensing requirements for trustees which would ultimately exclude the majority of existing trust companies, lawyers and independent asset managers from acting as professional trustees.

In general the trust practitioners themselves, support the idea of establishing an adequate regulatory framework and have committed to the setting up of a Swiss Association of Trust Companies (SATC), which will have the purpose of "engaging in the furtherance and development of trustees’ activities in Switzerland�and to promote the adherence to certain professional and ethical standards."

The Swiss government on the other hand has taken the opposing point of view by deciding not to introduce a specific regulatory framework for trustees in Switzerland, relying instead on the regulatory framework that governs all financial intermediaries in the country. This authorization from the Federal Money-Laundering Control Authority ensures that intermediaries prevent money laundering acts and obliges them to report suspicious transactions.

Walter argues that it would be logically inconsistent to introduce regulation that specifically includes trustees but not independent asset managers or fiduciaries. To do so would create a two tier system that implies that non-trustee activities of Swiss fiduciary/trust companies are somehow less accountable, "serious" or complex than trusteeships. Taking this route would also give banks and bank-like institutions the advantage of being the only organisations to automatically qualify for regulation as equitable trusteeships.

The article also makes the important point that banks which offer trustee services are placing trustees in a position where there is a strong potential for conflict of interest and self-dealing. As trustees, decisions such as which investment manager to choose should be made with the beneficiaries’ best interests in mind rather than the benefits that specific services may bring to the bank or its Trust division. Walter Stresseman warns that banks in Switzerland should beware of the reputational risks that acting as Swiss trustees could have, particularly as beneficiaries can sue in the Swiss courts.

In concluding, Walter argues that the present "level-playing field" approach to regulation in Switzerland is appropriate and certainly more so than an activity-based supervisory legal regime and specific rules of conduct for trustees. Given that these are early days under the new trust legislation, he suggests that the industry be given time to develop and that the regulatory situation should be assessed in the future. This would also allow time to better understand the banks’ positioning and strategies with regard to the growing demand for Swiss trusteeships.�

L’AGEFI features Vistra

Vistra - Trust — Tue, 22 May 2007 09:36:00 GMT

Following Vistra’s successful acquisition of Luxembourg-based Benelux Trust (subject to regulatory approval in Luxembourg), the highly-respected Swiss daily financial newspaper, L’AGEFI, has printed a front page story about the takeover in its edition of 18th May 2007.� The article, written by Mohammad Farrokh, gives a clear insight into the professional history of the Vistra board, not only describing them as being "one of the most prestigious trust management teams in Geneva" but also outlining the company’s strategic vision as independent suppliers of the highest quality, personalised trust management services.

In addition Farrokh suggests that independence is a quality of the highest importance in the trust management sector and that this is something that Vistra clients can be assured of, particularly under the direction of such a strong management team. Walter Stresemann, Managing Director of Vistra’s Swiss office comments on this with the observation that, "10 years ago, I thought that independent (asset) managers were going to disappear. We are now seeing the opposite phenomenon evolving."

The article is rounded off with a look at the positive effects for the trust industry of the recent Swiss ratification of The Hague convention and the legal separation of the trustee and the trust holdings that it entails.

We found our own solution in Yann Arthus-Bertrand who specialises in aerial photography and has won the French Legion D’Honneur for his photographic work on the environment. Most of the images on the website are taken from his work, and those of his photographic colleagues. His talent for taking complicated subjects – often unappealing from the ground - and providing a new point of view that highlights their innate stability and beauty - fits perfectly with Vistra’s new vision."
