THE COMMONWEALTH ADVANTAGE
We work with advisers and brokers from all over the world because of our independence, and we plan to keep it that way. Our company flourishes because of the high-quality services we provide with an independent and impartial attitude, not because of any particular alliance or joint venture with outside firms. Because of the closely-held ownership of our stock, Commonwealth Trust will remain independent, even in the ever-changing world of bank mega-mergers. At Commonwealth Trust, we look to complement, not to compete.
WHY COMMONWEALTH
We have decades of experience dealing with trusts of all types that have international issues, tax issues, and family dynamic issues. We have proven to be a valuable team member in helping to address and resolve these issues for our clients. We are able to respond quickly and expertly to trust administration issues and can generally turn distribution requests around quickly, without the delays caused by cumbersome approval committee structures.
