Sioux Falls, SD -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/12/2020 -- Today's wealthy families put an incredible amount of faith in their advisors, so it's critical that these professionals make the right decision about where to domicile a client's trust. Sterling Trustees, a South Dakota-chartered trust company, encourages advisors to consider the Mount Rushmore state, boasting some of the nation's most progressive trust laws.

One leading advantage of South Dakota trusts is that the state has no income tax or capital gains tax for trusts. Families can save millions of dollars over the term of their trusts, while allowing these significant tax savings to compound. Best of all, clients do not have to reside in South Dakota to take advantage of this exceptional tax-free growth.

Sterling Trustees has designed a helpful online calculator that quickly and clearly shows the potential tax savings of situsing a trust in South Dakota versus a family's home state. Here's an illustration of the online calculator in action:

An attorney or other advisor inputs a $10 million trust with a remaining term of 30 years and a 6% future return rate. Seventy percent of the trust assets are invested in stocks and the remaining 30% in bonds.

Next, the advisor compares the tax consequences in various states to see the superior benefits of a South Dakota trust. In California, for example, after 30 years the $10 million trust would grow to approximately $30 million in assets after tax. In New York, $32 million; Illinois, $34 million. Meanwhile in South Dakota – where the trust grows state-tax free – the value soars to over $37 million.

Sterling Trustees encourages advisors and clients to try this comparison exercise themselves with the convenient online tax calculator. The user simply enters a few basic parameters, including trust size, remaining term of the trust and expected future rate of return. And the savings are immediately apparent.

For anyone who wants to save state income tax and capital gains tax on trusts, Sterling Trustees strongly recommends establishing or relocating trusts to South Dakota. Furthermore, they urge advisors and families to partner with an unbiased, South Dakota-chartered expert who is not compensated by commission and finder's fees and never influenced by financial products or services.

Sioux Falls, SD -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/22/2019 -- Sterling Trustees, one of South Dakota's most highly-rated trust companies, provides outsourced trust administration for family offices. These organizations, serving wealthy families, can benefit from the cost, independence, and technology advantages provided by an independent corporate trustee.

Whether it's a single-family office or one that serves multiple families, a consistent theme we hear is there is a lack of qualified independent trustees to serve in the family office market. This has been driven by three factors. First, there is a lack of in-house expertise within the family office as trust administration is fundamentally different from the typical investment management, legal and accounting services that family offices provide to its families. Secondly, for family offices located in high tax states, having in-house trust admin staff doesn't make any sense because situsing trusts to states like South Dakota, that have zero state income or capital gain taxes, saves millions of dollars in taxes over the lifetime of a trust.. Lastly many family offices can't afford to purchase the right technology to provide automated data aggregation and trust accounting across multiple custodians as well as for non-liquid assets like hedge and private equity.

Outsourcing trust administration to an independent corporate trustee can be in the best interests of single and multi-family offices. Sterling Trustees is an independent corporate trustee that provides outsourced trust administration to families looking to leverage a no tax state like South Dakota, a technology platform that automates the accounting for all trust assets and lastly bring objectivity in the administration of trusts. This objectivity alleviates the complex dynamics of interfamilial relationships and the conflicts that arise from them, can be avoided by outsourcing the trust administration function.

Sioux Falls, SD -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/04/2019 -- There are many options when choosing a trustee to carry out the necessary trust administration services. Many people choose individual trustees like family members or friends. Others hire large banks or investment firms. However, these groups aren't able to deliver the same objectivity as an independent corporate trustee. Sterling Trustees, an independent corporate trustee, offers objective and dependable trust administration services.

An independent corporate trustee is better than the alternatives because they're unbiased; their compensation is based on a fixed fee as opposed to a fee calculated based on assets under administration, a model that is not always in the best interest of the client. Without any outside influences, the only goal is to preserve and protect trust assets.

Individual trustees are generally family members or close friends of the grantor who offer their services at a low fee or no fee whatsoever. While the grantor may think he is saving money with this model, there are significant drawbacks including a potential conflict of interest. Because the trustee is so close to the family, it's difficult for him or her to make unbiased judgements when it comes to treating each beneficiary fairly, not to mention the lack of experience and legal and tax expertise needed to administer a trust. This can turn out to be an expensive way to go in the long run.

If a grantor chooses a bank or investment firm to provide trust administration, they should understand that these parties will be concerned with what is in the best interest for their company. Since most bank and investment firms charge based on assets under administration, when it comes time to making a distribution to a beneficiary, decreasing the corpus of the trust lowers the base from which they can earn fees. This sort of monetary motivation clouds their objectivity, ultimately making decisions that may not be in the beneficiary's best interest.

Grantors who engage independent corporate trustees like Sterling Trustees deal with expert trust officers who administer the trust completely objectively because the firm is independent. These trustees are unmatched in reliability, as sickness, death, injuries, or vacations do not prevent administration, The trust officers are highly experienced in legal and tax requirements, and they are able to execute the fiduciary duty assigned to them.

Sioux Falls, SD -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/20/2018 -- As a leading South Dakota trust company, Sterling Trustees provides trust administration services with an array of advantages that are special to The Mount Rushmore State. Among the many benefits, trusts in South Dakota are entirely free from state income and capital gains tax.

Prospective clients aren't expected to simply take the company's word for it, either. Sterling Trustees created a Tax Savings Calculator, featured on their website. By entering critical data such as the trust size, remaining term of the trust, and other information, families and attorneys can instantly calculate and see for themselves how much they would save in taxes by setting up or migrating their trust to South Dakota.

The South Dakota tax advantage can have a significant impact on asset growth over the term of the trust by allowing the income/capital gains saved on taxes to be continually reinvested. This compounding effect is quite powerful especially for residents of high tax states such as California, New York and Connecticut. The higher the state's effective income and capital gains tax, the greater the compounding effect.

"A trust that is sitused in any state can be transferred to South Dakota to take advantage of the tax savings; new trusts can, of course, be set up in South Dakota from the start, according to Antony Joffe, President of Sterling Trustees.

Those interested in learning more about what Sterling Trustees can do for them and their assets are encouraged to contact them at 605-593-8950 or visit https://sterlingtrustees.com.

Conshohocken, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/17/2018 -- A South Dakota-chartered trust company, Sterling Trustees offers trust administration services featuring a multitude of advantages not offered for trusts located outside of South Dakota. The firm just released a short video, "When Selecting a Trust company, Location Matters," that clearly explains why South Dakota is superior to other states. See video.

South Dakota is one of the country's most progressive trust jurisdictions. Because the state doesn't impose state income or capital gains taxes, trust assets can grow free of state tax. For clients in states with high taxes, these savings can compound over time.

Likewise, with directed trust statutes, family members and advisors enjoy increased flexibility in managing and monitoring assets. Trusts have an unlimited duration, which means family legacies from wealth created will continue for generations to come.

South Dakota also implemented asset protection statutes that defend against creditors and has unrivaled privacy laws. Unlike states that follow the uniform trust act, a trust's existence doesn't need to be disclosed when a minor turns 18 years old. Details and provisions of a trust can never be publicly revealed during litigation.

The state also boasts the country's best trust, decanting and reformation statues. Even the oldest and more obscure trusts may be decanted or reformed quickly and efficiently to South Dakota. Even those who don't live in South Dakota can take advantage of its progressive trust laws as a beneficiary.

Conshohocken, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/08/2017 -- Sterling Trustees, a leader in trust administration services, is always at the forefront of the latest news and developments regarding trusts. Antony Joffe, president of Sterling Trustees, along with Mary Akkerman, law partner at Lindquist and Vennum, recently explained the differences between the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) in a recent article published in the STEP Journal (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners).

In this piece, Joffe and Akkerman define and list the differences between these two approaches, which aim to combat and eliminate cross-border tax non-compliance. Since the article was published, the authors completed a whitepaper. You can download a copy of "Everything you need to know about CRS…but were afraid to ask."

The CRS is a new approach created through the collaboration of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and the European Union. Under this approach, different countries in which this convention is in effect automatically exchange all relevant information pertaining to a financial account including beneficial holder's names, addresses and dollar amounts.

FATCA, passed in 2010 by the United States Congress, ensures foreign financial institutions follow the same reporting standards as United States financial service providers when providing data about their clients who are United States residents or citizens. Although rejected by many foreign governments, intergovernmental agreements with FATCA compliance are in effect with more than 100 countries, resulting in countries changing their laws.

Although the CRS and FATCA both impose strict penalties for non-compliance and have similar reporting requirements, the CRS requires that tax residency and place and date of birth for account holders to be reporting conditions. It also does not require any minimum thresholds such as FATCA. It remains to be seen whether or not the United States will adopt CRS or go it alone with their own FATCA regulations.

Interested parties can learn more about the CRS, FATCA and this South Dakota trust company by calling 605-593-8950 or visiting their website online at http://sterlingtrustees.com/.

Independent corporate trustees don't push a financial product or service, which makes them objective. They preserve wealth through meticulous administration and unparalleled expertise. Sterling Trustees uses one-on-one communication and advanced technology to monitor performance. They conscientiously oversee investment policy statements to make sure the families' assets are invested according to a long-term plan to preserve and grow true assets into the future.

A bank or investment firm works for what's best for the trust and most profitable for their firm, so who comes first? The independent nature of Sterling Trustees assures objectivity.

An individual or family can turn in many directions when trying to select a trustee including family members, friends, banks or independent corporate trustees.

Conshohocken, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/08/2016 -- Sterling Trustees is a privately held, South Dakota-chartered trust company. This independent trust company provides trust administration services to high net-worth families, foundations, and endowments on an international basis. They pride themselves on being an unbiased independent trust management company that focuses on preserving assets for future generations. Sterling Trustees will administer both delegated and directed trusts.

Delegated trusts allow the trustee to delegate the investment management and other responsibilities to third party investment advisors who are qualified investment professionals. A benefit of delegated trusts is that trustees can use exoneration language in a trust document or a separate agreement to protect themselves from fraud or gross negligence on the part of the third party investment advisor. As a delegated trustee, Sterling is responsible for taking ownership of the trust assets, opening and maintaining bank accounts, preparing trust statements, and delegating the asset management to a third party and making distribution decisions. Delegated trusts are valuable for families who want a trustee to make distribution decisions and also allow assets to be managed by best of breed third party advisors.

A directed trust is a trust in which the trustee is directed by a number of other trust participants in implementing the trust's directives. Examples of other trust participants include a distribution committee, investment advisor or trust protector. A directed trustee's role is to follow the distribution and investment instructions. In addition, the trustee is responsible taking ownership of the trust assets, opening and maintaining bank accounts, preparing trust statements, providing fiduciary and tax accounting. A directed trust allows a family to gain more control over the investment and distribution of trust funds by appointing people that are close to the family rather than relying on a trustee who may not know the family as well.

To learn more about the advantages of delegated and directed trusts, visit the Sterling Trustees website or contact this trust administration company at 605-593-8950.

Conshohocken, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2016 -- Sterling Trustees, a South Dakota-chartered trust administration company, recently advised asset owners who are reviewing their trust administration options that location matters. Not only are there benefits to choosing an independent trust administration service, but there are particular advantages posed by working with one based in South Dakota, says Sterling Trustees. The company offers this information to help prospective clients make educated decisions about managing and protecting their assets.

South Dakota trust administration provides valuable asset protection to clients of companies based in the state. This is due to the fact that South Dakota has some of the most flexible and advanced trust and tax laws in the United States. One distinct advantage of a South Dakota-based trust is that the state provides for an unlimited trust duration, as opposed to the limited durations imposed by most states in the country. This prevents the termination of the trust from occurring before the grantor intended.

Additionally, South Dakota offers state-level tax advantages and savings for grantors and beneficiaries of trusts. The state of South Dakota has no state income tax for trusts, and imposes no additional capital gains, corporate income, interest, personal property, or inheritance taxes. Furthermore, whereas the average state insurance premium tax averages out at 200 basis points, in South Dakota this tax is only 8 basis points, the lowest in the nation.

Finally, South Dakota's privacy statutes regarding trusts are some of the most thorough in the nation. Aspects of a trust such as its size, assets, and terms may be kept from public record, and are not required to be publicly filed. If filings containing information about the trust must be filed with the court, they can then be sealed from public view forever.

Conshohocken, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/19/2016 -- Sterling Trustees, a South Dakota-chartered trust company that offers trust administration services, recently shared valuable information regarding the differences between delegated and directed trusts. The two types of trusts carry subtle, but distinct, differences in decision factors like risk and fees associated with managing them. "This information will help prospective clients make informed decisions about protecting their investments and assets," according to Antony Joffe, President of Sterling Trustees.

A delegated trust delegates the responsibilities of investment management to third-party investment managers for which the delegated trustee is responsible for monitoring and managing. In addition, a delegated trustee is tasked with making distribution decisions. This type of trust typically has increased risk as opposed to a directed trust because of the responsibility of having to monitor the third-party investment advisor as well as discretionary authority to make distributions. For that reason, administrative fees are typically higher than that of a directed trust.

With directed trusts, as the name implies, the trustee takes direction from third parties that have been appointed by the grantor to take on the role of making investment and distribution decisions. The allocation of responsibilities among the appointed parties all but eliminates any fiduciary risk for the trustee, which allows them to charge lower fees.

Directed trusts based in South Dakota, such as those managed by Sterling Trustees, have particular benefits for clients. South Dakota has a notably hospitable trust and tax environment, which helps clients to protect their assets. With a firm like Sterling Trustees, clients will also gain the benefits of using an independent corporate trustee who is conflict-free since the firm does not manage assets. Lastly, by appointing third parties to make the investment and distribution decisions, clients can greatly reduce the cost of maintaining a trust in order to protect assets from estate tax or creditors.

Conshohocken, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/01/2015 -- Everybody benefits when a partnership is created between a financial advisor who doesn't administer trusts and an independent corporate trustee who doesn't manage money. When this is married with an independent custodian it provides a client with a completely segregated solution that can virtually guarantee that situations similar to the Madoff case will never happen with their clients' trust assets. As a respected trust administration firm that provides management services throughout the United States and globally, Sterling Trustees strives to be the optimum model for independence.

Unfortunately, most other US firms do not display a comparable commitment to doing business in such a safe and logical way. And identifying the handful of corporate trustees that are genuinely independent can be challenging. While Sterling Trustees strongly believes in the independent structure and will carefully serve each grantor and beneficiary objectively, they realize that this is not always the industry norm.

According to Robert Testa, who provides quantitative analysis for The Cerulli Report series, "Corporate ownership can be really complicated because trust companies often have different holding companies, and majority/minority ownership is not easily defined." Further complicating matters, statistics are reported on individual entities, without heed to the over-arching ownership, and companies can be either federally or state-chartered. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to determine the regulatory structure of a company or whether it is managing trust assets or just has them in custody.

Another downfall of trust companies that manage assets internally, instead of operating independently, is that they try to function as a "one-stop-shop" provider of integrated services. Attempting to streamline operations usually leads to an inevitable conflict of interest and puts the provider at a dangerous crossroads.

Testa continues by warning, "if the trust company is using all in-house products, alarm bells should go off." He cautions that managing all assets internally can affect a trust company's independence, and may lead to less rigorous due diligence when making decisions about integrating products into a portfolio, as well as the timeframes for removing them. In the end, Testa advises, the investments should perform well, be diversified and should meet the standards that other funds do, in order to defend the use of all in-house products.

All trust companies must ask themselves whether they will move assets into better-performing funds to protect the beneficiaries' interests, or if they will allow the bank's bottom line to rule the day. The principals at Sterling Trustees already know the answer to that question and strive to use their independence to their clients' advantage every time.

Conshohocken, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/16/2015 -- Sterling Trustees is a well-respected South Dakota-chartered trust company located in Sioux Falls, SD. The firm provides independent trust management services to clients in the United States and internationally.

As 2015 quickly proceeds, our renowned global trust administration organization would love to illustrate a core list of questions that will greatly assist estate planners, accountants, money managers and other centers of influence. These questions should be the standard questions posed when referring a client to an appropriate trust service. It starts with a simple question that anyone requiring trust services should ask: "Should your trustee also be your investment advisor?"

This goes to the importance of independence for successful management of Corporate Trustee Services. What many do not realize, however, is that many trust administrations and organization manage trust administration and the investment advisory role alike for a given trust.

Unfortunately, many of these companies either actively encourage or fully expect their clientele to take part in their in-house advisory and investment services as well as their financial products, and some make these services and products a pre-requisite of using their trust administration services in the first place.

This relationship is a classic, crystal-clear example of conflict of interest—a scheme that is allowed unknowingly by clientele that possibly don't fully grasp the differences between investment advisory services and trust administration services. Sometimes individuals aren't fully aware that the option to bring in an independent corporate trustee is always on the table. Sometimes, people just don't realize how many trust companies out here that are actually 100% independent.

Sterling believes its keys to defining the importance of independence will aid those in search of a trust management service greatly, and making their selection of the proper trustee much easier and clearer.

When many individuals seek trust administration or management, they are looking to estate planners and accountants for answers– to help identify the right company for them. Many of the centers of influence aren't aware of better and alternative solutions out in the marketplace and often elect to go with a large brand name solution in order to protect their reputation with the client even though they may be knowingly creating this conflict of interest.

Defining the Eight Keys for the Importance of Independence for Corporate Trustee Services

According to Sterling Trustees, "When clients or their advisors need someone to administer a trust, they should look at more than just the firm's reputation, state of charter and level of expertise of its officers. They should ask the following questions:"

- Are you actively investing your assets? Do you exclusively oversee the activities of your money managers, asset growth and investment decisions?

- Are you providing your services for some kind of fee? Maybe you possibly receive brokerage or sale commissions back from the investment advisors you work with?

- Is your firm taking advantage of your own services and financial opportunities, or are you going through affiliated organizations?

- Can the client work with its own independent money manager and custodian?

- How much time do you typically give for money managers and administrators to prove their worth to you? What kind of metrics and performance measurements are you using to analyze your investment advisors?

- What type of due diligence do you carry out when working with an advisor?

- How much reporting do you perform for your clientele? What kind of reports do you do? How frequently do you report to your clients, and how detailed are they?

- How many trust accounts do each of your trust officers administer on a yearly basis?

With these keys, Sterling Trustees believes clients will now be better positioned to understand which questions to ask and when its time, making the right choice for their trustee.

Conshohocken, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/16/2015 -- Sterling Trustees, based in Sioux Falls, SD is a respected trust administration firm, providing trust management services in South Dakota and throughout the entire United States. For 2015, the nationwide trust administration company is announcing its top keys to successfully choosing the right trustee that they believe is valuable to anyone currently in the market to select the proper trustee for any given family situation.

According to Sterling Trustees, "the action of choosing a trustee is one of the most significant decisions people will face when establishing a trust. The trustee is responsible for administration of your assets according to the provisions you outline in the trust agreement. Although any individual can be designated to oversee the administration of your trust, even sophisticated individuals or family members often find managing a trust to be burdensome and complex."

A corporate trustee may be the best option and give several advantages. The 2015 Sterling Trustees Keys to Choosing the Right Trustee are:

Experience

Corporate trustees typically handle many trusts on a daily basis and are very familiar with applicable legal requirements. They understand the intricacies of a wide range of trust types and have a great deal of knowledge in the administration and investment management of trusts.

Objectivity

The corporate trustee is bound by the terms of the trust document and will administer the trust as it is written. In many cases, individual trustees have a tendency to favor one class of beneficiaries over another. It can be difficult for a trustee who is a parent, sibling, relative or friend to act objectively. A corporate trustee benefits from being an outsider who can make decisions free from bias and family dynamics.

Regulation

A corporate trustee is subject to many levels of oversight. Internal auditors, external auditors and government regulators all make sure that the corporate trustee carries out the fiduciary duties that have been given to them. This is all for the protection of the trust and its beneficiaries.

Reliability

The duties of corporate trustees are not interrupted due to illnesses, vacations or other disruptions that may distract a personal trustee from performing the responsibilities of trustee. Corporate trustees typically have a staff that is well versed in the different trusts that they oversee.

Tax management and record keeping

Administering a trust includes filing tax returns, issuing statements and keeping records of trust activity. Most corporate trustees have tax and record-keeping expertise or have contracted with competent preparers, so they are able to handle trusts properly from a tax and reporting perspective.

Longevity

Because one of the principal reasons for establishing a trust is to provide for the future, it's important to remember that an individual trustee will eventually be unable to perform the duties of a trustee. Unlike an individual trustee, a corporate trustee will not predecease you or otherwise be unable to administer the trust. By choosing a corporate trustee, a person helps ensure continuity for the full term of the trust.
