The wealth management involves some strategic management of financial assets, to achieve an individual and family financial goals. Spanning from retirement savings to asset protection for future generations.
Trusts play a pivotal role in realising a spectrum of wealth management objectives. Among key benefits of using a trust for wealth management is that it offers flexibility in financial planning for asset growth and preservation while segregating power over managing, owning, and benefiting from trust assets.
When assets are placed under a trust, they are no longer considered part of the grantor’s estate, which means that assets under trust are not subject to traditional estate distribution. This can be particularly important for high-net-worth individuals who may have complex succession planning needs for their immovable assets, movable assets, and business empires.
As Labuan IBFC is a leading international business and finance centre that offers a wide range of financial products and services, including the new in demand wealth management mechanism named Labuan Foundations.
Among key benefits of using a Labuan Foundation, is that it provides asset protection and confidentiality.
Assets held in a foundation are owned by the foundation itself, and not by the founder or beneficiaries. Additionally, the names of the founder and beneficiaries are not publicly disclosed, ensuring confidentiality. Labuan Foundations are also flexible and tax efficient.
Successfully, Legacy Trustee Ltd and Bank Islam Trust Company (Labuan) Ltd have declared their respective intentions for the purpose of achieving the principles of collaboration which are to offer an innovative and an attractive option of Labuan Foundations structure for high-net-worth individuals and families as part of their wealth management plan.
