Entrust

What Entrust does

Entrust Limited is an independently-owned trust company headquartered in St. Helier, Jersey, founded in 2020 and regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission as a Trust Company Business Service Provider (company number RC130844). The firm provides bespoke wealth structuring solutions for high net worth individuals, families, and corporate clients, including trustee, protector, and advisor services for trusts across Jersey and other jurisdictions; company incorporation and management with Jersey-resident board members; foundation administration; limited partnership services; and digital asset structuring covering virtual currency exchange registration, security and non-security token issuances, custody, and crypto succession planning.

The firm employs 11–50 staff and operates on a fixed-fee pricing model with case-by-case fee assessment, no layering of fees, and biennial reviews, positioning transparent pricing as a deliberate counterpoint to hidden charges common in the industry. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, with annual in-person or video client meetings, referral pipelines through professional advisors and investment managers, and a stated Middle East client focus. Service lines span private HNW clients, corporate clients requiring Jersey-resident directors and economic substance compliance, foundations, limited partnerships, and digital asset clients, with additional capability in Sharia-compliant structures and Islamic financing.

The senior team includes practitioners previously at Credit Suisse Trust, Rothschild Trust Guernsey, JTC Group, Deloitte Jersey, and Ernst & Young, supported by STEP, ICSA, ICA, and chartered accountancy qualifications. The company explicitly frames its independence from private equity ownership as a core differentiator, arguing this aligns interests and preserves agility. Note that the input data also contains product, AI, and partnership references (Onfido acquisition, Google Cloud/Gemini integration, QES for UK property) that belong to Entrust Corporation, a separate US-based digital identity and security company, and these are not features of Entrust Limited (Jersey).

Direct peers

• JTC Group: Jersey-headquartered trust, corporate and fund administration group with global offices. Directly comparable to Entrust in services (trustee, foundation, LP, company management) and client base (HNW families, advisors), but at materially larger scale and listed.
• Sanne Group: Specialist admin and fiduciary business (now integrated into Apex) with significant private client trust services. Comparable service set and HNW family-office clients, but operated at PE-backed scale.
• Walkers: Offshore law and fiduciary firm with a strong Jersey/Cayman practice in private client trusts, foundations and corporate services. Directly comparable on services and client base; broader jurisdictional reach than Entrust.
• Appleby: Offshore legal and fiduciary group with substantial Jersey presence serving HNW family-office and corporate clients on trusts, foundations and corporate governance — substantial overlap with Entrust's offering.
• Ogier: Jersey-rooted offshore legal and fiduciary firm offering trust, corporate and fund services to HNW clients. Closest head-to-head to Entrust in jurisdiction, service set and HNW family-wealth focus, though Ogier operates at much greater scale and depth.
• Carey Olsen: Channel Islands law firm with a well-developed private client and trusts/foundations practice. Comparable to Entrust on fiduciary structuring for HNW clients, with stronger legal-only positioning.
• Bedell Cristin: Jersey- and Guernsey-based fiduciary and corporate services firm offering trust, foundation and company management to private clients — head-to-head competitor in Entrust's home jurisdiction.
• Collas Crill: Channel Islands law and fiduciary firm providing private client trust, foundation and company administration. Overlaps directly with Entrust's trust, protector and company-management services for Jersey/Guernsey HNW families.

Broad incumbents

• Apex Group: Large global financial services provider with broad trust, corporate, fund and fiduciary offerings including private-client services. Overlaps with Entrust on trust and company administration but spans a far wider service catalogue.
• TMF Group: Global provider of corporate secretarial, trust, fund and accounting services covering 80+ jurisdictions. Broader and more diverse than Entrust, but competes in the same HNW and cross-border structuring market.
