About
New Zealand boasts a resilient economy with a stable political system and strong legal institutions. It consistently ranks as one of the top jurisdictions in the world for ease of doing business, low corruption, economic freedom, and quality of life.
New Zealand’s place at the edge of the world has not hindered its ability to be a global player. As of 2024, New Zealand is party to 14 free trade agreements (FTAs) worldwide. Providing home-grown companies access to international markets is a key priority for the government.
Making the most of its fertile land and temperate climate, New Zealand specialises in agriculture and agritech. Diversification is forging a more rounded economy with broad industries such as tourism, construction, food & beverage, marine, renewables, and technology.
Our Services
We have long histories in the provision of fiduciary and corporate trust services and hold a strong market share in our core product lines, both in terms of appointment numbers and funds under supervision. Having operated in New Zealand for over 125 years, Guardian Trust and Covenant (Vistra companies) are recognised as the leading providers of corporate supervisory and trustee services in New Zealand with funds under supervision of over NZ$255 billion (as at February 2022).
Our experience and reputation have made us the preferred supervisor and trustee for many of New Zealand's top corporations, financial institutions, fund managers, and banks. Throughout our rapid growth, we have sought to both monitor compliance and support clients with their understanding of compliance regimes. Our experienced team of professionals is the largest in New Zealand. We assign an experienced team to each of our clients to ensure our clients have dedicated access to our services.
