Amicorp Group: Capital Market - Trustees Services

Companies intending to issue bonds or notes to raise finance might benefit by using a trust structure. In such a setup, the company can appoint a trustee to act on behalf of the investors. The trustee then can deal with minor amendments and waive certain requirements rather than the company having to direct themselves to the investors individually.

For example, by adding security to the bond or note issuance, a trustee can accept the security on behalf of all the investors, which is more convenient than transferring or re-registering the security each time the investor trades the note or bond. The trustee structure can also be used for holding security, covenants, obligations, and pledges on various types of financing.

Amicorp offers trustee services in several locations. Our services include the traditional role of corporate trustee for securities offerings and security (or collateral) trustee, share trustee, voting trustee, guarantee trustee, or administration trustee. We provide extensive administrative support for financial transactions. These services include accounting, reporting, and review services. We also provide independent review party services required by regulation and KYC services for clients’ investors.

HOW AMICORP CAN ASSIST YOU

The concept of a trust originated circa the 12th century in England. A trust is a legal relationship created by a settlor that places assets, obligations, and other covenants under control of the trustee to benefit the beneficiaries or for a specified purpose. The trustee role concept has been adopted and adapted in many countries around the world.
