Finco Trust

What Finco Trust does

Finco Trust is a Malta-based licensed professional services firm delivering integrated corporate, investment, fiduciary, and multi-family office services through two regulated entities: Finco Trust Services Limited (authorized under the Trusts and Trustees Act) and Finco Treasury Management Limited (holding a Category 2 Investment Services Provider licence under the Investment Services Act and authorization under the Financial Institutions Act). The firm serves high-net-worth individuals and families, family offices, international corporate clients, and niche maritime and aviation registration clients. Core service lines include execution-only brokerage, investment advisory, and discretionary portfolio management; corporate services spanning company formation, redomiciliation, company secretarial work, accounting, taxation, and VAT compliance; licensed trustee services; maritime vessel and aviation aircraft registration under Maltese flag regimes; and multi-family office offerings covering financial planning, family governance, regulatory compliance, and global mobility.

The firm's technology stack consists primarily of in-house proprietary systems for company secretarial and statutory compliance workflows, a digital investor/client portal providing statements, valuations, and portfolio reports, and integrations with the Malta Stock Exchange official trading data and European Central Bank exchange rate feeds. No proprietary AI/ML platform, public API, or external SDK ecosystem is evidenced. Distribution is exclusively direct and relationship-based: prospects schedule consultations through a 'Book Your Meeting' feature, with no intermediaries, resellers, or partner channels. Revenue is generated through recurring management and advisory fees on AUM, transaction commissions on execution-only trades, and professional service fees (one-time setup and ongoing retainers) for corporate, trustee, and family office mandates. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed.

Founded in 1989 as one of Malta's first licensed nominee companies under the country's offshore regime, the firm evolved alongside Malta's transition to a regulated onshore financial services jurisdiction. A significant ownership transition occurred in late 2023/early 2024 when founding shareholders transferred control to Chris Casapinta, a CPA and former PwC and Alter Domus executive, with the transaction approved by the Malta Financial Services Authority. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the firm operates from a single headquarters in Floriana, Malta.
