Trust administration in Mauritius encompasses the full range of ongoing services required to manage a trust effectively, lawfully, and in the best interests of beneficiaries. As a trustee licensed by the Financial Services Commission under the Financial Services Act 2007 and the Trusts Act 2001, we carry fiduciary duties of undivided loyalty, prudent investment, impartiality between beneficiaries, and compliance with the trust deed. Our administration services cover asset management oversight, distribution decision-making, regulatory filings, accounting and financial reporting, AML/CFT compliance, CRS and FATCA reporting, and communication with beneficiaries and protectors.
We administer discretionary trusts, fixed trusts, purpose trusts, and charitable trusts across a wide range of asset classes including equities, fixed income, real estate, private equity, and cash. Whether you are establishing a new trust or transferring an existing one from another trustee, our experienced fiduciary team provides transparent, professional, and fully regulated trust administration services. We tailor our reporting and governance arrangements to the needs of each trust, ensuring that both settlors and beneficiaries receive the information they need to understand how the trust is being managed.
All administration is conducted in strict adherence to the trust deed, the letter of wishes, and applicable Mauritius law and international standards.
Key Features of Trust Administration in Mauritius
FSC-Licensed Trustee
We hold a trusteeship licence issued by the Financial Services Commission, meeting all professional standards for regulated trust management. Our licence status provides counterparties, banks, and beneficiaries with confidence in the professional calibre of our services.
Fiduciary Duty & Loyalty
As licensed trustees, we owe fiduciary duties to beneficiaries: acting in their best interests, avoiding conflicts of interest, acting impartially between different classes of beneficiaries, and exercising powers only for proper purposes as defined in the trust deed.
Asset Management Oversight
We oversee the management of trust assets, liaise with investment managers and custodians, review investment performance, and ensure assets are managed in accordance with the investment policy and trust deed provisions.
Distribution Management
We manage the entire distribution process — reviewing requests from beneficiaries, considering the letter of wishes, assessing tax implications, and processing payments — ensuring distributions comply with the trust deed and applicable law.
Regulatory & AML Compliance
We manage all FSC filings, maintain up-to-date AML/KYC records for all parties, file CRS and FATCA reports where required, and conduct ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity in compliance with the Financial Intelligence and Anti-Money Laundering Act.
Trust Accounting & Financial Reporting
We maintain proper trust accounts, prepare annual financial statements, track income and capital separately where required by the trust deed, and provide regular reports to beneficiaries, protectors, and advisors.
Protector Liaison
Where a protector is appointed, we maintain an effective working relationship, seek consents where required by the trust deed, and keep the protector informed of material trust matters and decisions.
Trustee Succession Planning
We advise on and facilitate the orderly succession of trustees over the trust's lifetime, including the appointment of new trustees, resignation of outgoing trustees, and proper vesting of trust assets.
Trust Review & Variation
We conduct periodic reviews of the trust structure to ensure it continues to meet the settlor's and beneficiaries' objectives, and advise on any required variations or amendments in accordance with the Trusts Act 2001.
Trustee Transfer Services
We accept the transfer of trusts from other Mauritius or offshore trustees, conducting thorough due diligence on the trust deed, assets, beneficiaries, and compliance history before assuming the trusteeship.
How to Engage Trust Administration in Mauritius
Onboarding & Due Diligence
We review the trust deed, letter of wishes, and all supporting documents. We conduct enhanced KYC on all parties — settlor, beneficiaries, and protector — in line with FSC AML/CFT requirements before formally accepting the trusteeship.
Asset Register Establishment
We compile a comprehensive register of all trust assets, obtain current valuations, confirm legal title in the name of the trustee, and establish custody arrangements with banks, brokers, or custodians as appropriate.
Administration Framework Setup
We establish the accounting system, reporting schedule, compliance calendar, and communication protocols. We open trust bank accounts and coordinate with investment managers, custodians, and other service providers.
Ongoing Day-to-Day Management
We manage the trust on a continuous basis: processing correspondence, executing investment instructions within delegated authority, maintaining records, reviewing transactions, and ensuring all activities comply with the trust deed and applicable regulations.
Distribution Processing
When distributions are due or requested, we review eligibility under the trust deed, consult the letter of wishes, obtain any required protector consents, assess tax implications, and process payments with full documentation and audit trail.
Regulatory Filings & Reporting
We prepare and submit all required FSC filings, annual returns, and tax-related reports including CRS and FATCA notifications. We maintain full regulatory correspondence files for inspection purposes.
Annual Accounting & Audit
We prepare the annual trust accounts, reconcile all asset positions and income, and coordinate with the auditor if an independent audit is required. We distribute financial reports to beneficiaries and protectors within agreed timeframes.
Annual Trust Review
We conduct a formal annual review of the trust structure, assessing whether the trust continues to meet its objectives, reviewing the asset allocation, updating KYC records, and recommending any adjustments to the trust deed or letter of wishes.

Frequently Asked Questions About मॉरीशस ट्रस्ट प्रशासन सेवाएं
Can we transfer an existing trust to your administration?
Yes. We accept transfers of existing trusts from other Mauritius or offshore trustees. The process involves reviewing the trust deed, conducting KYC on all parties, reviewing the asset register, and formally accepting the trusteeship through a deed of retirement and appointment. We manage the full transfer process and ensure continuity of administration.
How frequently will we receive reports on the trust?
We provide annual financial statements as a minimum, supplemented by quarterly or semi-annual management reports depending on the complexity of the trust and the wishes of the settlor or protector. Ad hoc reporting is available upon request, and we maintain an open communication policy with beneficiaries and protectors on material matters.
What are the trustee's duties towards beneficiaries?
A trustee owes fiduciary duties to beneficiaries under the Trusts Act 2001: to act in their best interests, to act impartially between different classes of beneficiaries, to exercise powers for proper purposes only, to invest prudently, to maintain accounts, and to provide beneficiaries with information about the trust to which they are entitled.
What fees are charged for trust administration?
Our fees are based on the complexity of the trust, the nature and value of assets, and the level of activity. We provide a transparent fee proposal before accepting the trusteeship, with no hidden charges. Annual fees typically comprise a trustee fee, an accounting fee, and fees for specific transactions or distributions.
How is AML compliance managed for trust clients?
We maintain comprehensive KYC files for the settlor, all beneficiaries, and any protector, updated at least annually. We monitor transactions for unusual activity, file suspicious transaction reports where required under the Financial Intelligence and Anti-Money Laundering Act, and conduct periodic risk assessments of each trust in our portfolio.
Can a trust be varied or amended after it is established?
Variations to a trust deed may be made in accordance with the provisions of the Trusts Act 2001 and the trust deed itself. Certain variations require the consent of beneficiaries and/or the protector. We advise on the proper process for any proposed variation and prepare the necessary legal documentation.
What happens if a trustee needs to be changed?
Trustees can be retired and replaced in accordance with the trust deed and the Trusts Act 2001. The outgoing trustee executes a deed of retirement, and the incoming trustee executes a deed of appointment. We manage full trustee succession arrangements, including the transfer of assets and records.
Does trust administration include tax compliance?
Yes. Our administration service covers annual filing of the trust's tax return with the Mauritius Revenue Authority where applicable, preparation of CRS and FATCA reports, and liaison with the external auditor. We also advise on the tax treatment of distributions to beneficiaries in different jurisdictions, though local tax advice in the beneficiary's jurisdiction is always recommended.
