Wealth Structuring and Preservation

Private wealth requires more than asset ownership. It requires a considered framework for how wealth is held, governed, preserved, and transferred over time.
Our advisors work with private clients, founders, investors, and family offices on tailored structures for wealth preservation, succession, ownership continuity, and intergenerational planning.
The advisory process considers the complete picture, including family and business interests, asset location, residency, control, governance, taxation, banking, reporting requirements, and future succession.
Depending on the client’s objectives, the structure may incorporate foundations, trusts, holding companies, SPVs, family office arrangements, or a combination of vehicles across suitable global jurisdictions and financial centres.

Our wealth structuring solutions can support:

Long-term wealth preservation

Succession and legacy planning

Family and corporate governance

Intergenerational wealth transfer

Consolidated asset ownership

Investment and business continuity

Philanthropic objectives

Cross-border ownership planning

The Encor Premier Approach

Every engagement begins with a clear understanding of the client’s residency, asset profile, ownership requirements, investment objectives, governance priorities, and long-term plans.

From there, our team evaluates suitable jurisdictions and structures through a coordinated advisory lens, covering corporate structuring, regulatory considerations, taxation, accounting, banking, compliance, reporting, and ongoing administration.

The result is a structure designed around the client’s business, investment, family, and legacy objectives.

Trusts and Foundations

Trusts and foundations provide structured frameworks for holding, governing, and transferring assets over time.

Our advisors support private clients, founders, investors, and family offices with trust and foundation structures across suitable global financial centres and corporate jurisdictions.

From jurisdiction selection and governance design to setup coordination and ongoing administration, each structure is aligned with the client’s ownership, succession, family, and investment objectives.

Special Purpose Vehicles

Special Purpose Vehicles, or SPVs, are structured to hold specific assets, ring-fence liabilities, manage investment positions, support joint ventures, and isolate financial or legal risk within a wider group.

The service supports SPV and special-purpose structures across suitable jurisdictions, depending on the asset, transaction, ownership requirements, and wider structuring objectives.

Our team advises on the most suitable vehicle based on ownership, purpose, asset location, regulatory requirements, banking needs, and long-term objectives.

Holding Companies

Holding companies provide a central ownership structure for shares, subsidiaries, investments, intellectual property, real estate, and other strategic assets. Our team supports holding company structures across selected global financial centres, corporate registries, and international business jurisdictions.

These structures can support ownership consolidation, risk separation, investment management, succession planning, and future expansion across markets.

Offshore and International Structuring

Offshore and international structures can support investment holding, asset ownership, succession planning, intellectual property ownership, international transactions, and cross-border expansion.

Our advisors assess suitable global jurisdictions based on residency, asset location, business activity, banking requirements, tax position, reporting obligations, and long-term objectives.

The approach remains discreet, strategic, and compliance-led, with each structure selected for its purpose, substance, and long-term suitability.
