WHO WE ARE AND HOW WE EVOLVED

The Landmark Group is a trust and company services group with offices in Monaco and Switzerland and associate companies in Bermuda and Hong Kong. The core business of the Group is the provision of professional fiduciary and company management services to families and corporations worldwide.

We pride ourselves on our independence of ownership and thought which manifests itself in our commitment to provide the highest levels of personal service to our clients. Our independence leaves us unfettered by the institutional pressure of supporting related investment and banking services, as is the case with many larger organizations. We are always happy to work with our clients’ existing team of advisers, whether legal, tax or investment.

The Group’s origins are in Monaco where its activities began in 1974 when its principal trust company was incorporated. From 1985 onwards, the present management joined the Group which now comprises the original business in Monaco, and an office in Geneva since 2003. A complementary Monaco business, DFM Management, joined the Group in 2010. Through associate offices, the Group also offers trust and company services in Hong Kong and Bermuda.

The ownership of the Group is divided between its senior management.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION OF THE GROUP

The offshore finance industry has changed significantly in recent years and such change continues. The Landmark Group acknowledges the challenges of the new regulatory environment and recognizes that supervision and regulation of financial services is essential. In addition to being subject to the local regulations in each jurisdiction where we operate, we maintain high levels of best practice and compliance throughout our group.
We are required to maintain accounting books and records for each of our client entities and are able to produce full accounts which may be audited at the client’s request, on a one-off or annual basis.


BALANCING COMPLIANCE AND PRIVACY

In today’s world, we believe it is more important than ever to fully understand our clients and their goals, thus enabling us to assist more effectively with the achievement of these goals. In so doing, the Group seeks to strike a sensible balance between the conflicting issues of necessary surveillance of financial transactions and the potentially invasive disclosure of personal details.
