VG

What VG does

VG, headquartered in St. Helier, Jersey, is an independent fiduciary and administration provider founded in 1982 (originally as the trust and corporate division of Michael Voisin & Co and rebranded from Volaw Group to VG in 2017). The company administers over 1,300 client structures holding £15.5 billion+ in assets across multiple asset classes, serving ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families, family offices, investment funds, and international corporations globally. Its service platform spans four core lines: Private Wealth (bespoke trust, foundation, and family succession structures), Funds (full fund lifecycle administration for regulated and unregulated vehicles), Corporate (entity establishment, company secretarial, accounting, employee incentives, Islamic finance, and real estate), and Capital Markets (SPV, escrow, loan administration, and trustee services launched in 2025).

VG operates through 14 wholly-owned regulated entities under Jersey Financial Services Commission oversight for both trust company and fund services business. Its technology stack combines a bespoke fiduciary platform with Alteryx-based data analytics implemented in partnership with Continuum Consulting, automating data processing across legacy systems and reducing management dashboard production from 1.5 days to daily automated runs. The company has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities beyond this analytics layer.

Revenue is generated through bespoke, recurring administration fees calibrated to client asset values, structure complexity, and service scope, with annual billing cadence as standard. VG employs 110+ dedicated trust and fiduciary professionals, 40% of whom have tenures exceeding 10 years, and reports average client partnership durations of 10+ years (13+ years for its top 20 client relationships). Go-to-market is relationship-led and director-driven, sourced through professional adviser referrals, industry awards and rankings, and participation in events including MIPIM, UKREiiF, ESOP, and Global ABS. In July 2024, VG received its first external equity investment from Mayfair Equity Partners to fund technology modernization and strategic M&A, and in 2025 it opened a London office and appointed William Douglas as CEO effective January 2026.
