About SDTC
South Dakota Trust Company
LLC serves affluent families and their advisors, both domestically and internationally, by offering tax favored trust situs, modern trust statutes, customized trust administration, state of the art technology, quality service, unique and creative advice, as well as reasonable fees. SDTC specializes in trust administration of both trusts established pursuant to South Dakota law, as well as trusts of other states moved to South Dakota (i.e. change of situs trust). SDTC provides "full", "directed", and "delegated" trust administration services for both financial and non-financial assets. Additionally, SDTC works with non-SDTC investment professionals. All of the above listed advantages and services are available through SDTC without the necessity of either the trust grantor or the beneficiaries having to reside in South Dakota.
The founders each have
twenty one years of trust experience (see Management Biographies) and the trust officers average more than
seventeen years of experience. Trust accounts are supported by the Sungard Trust Accounting System (i.e. 200 people with average experience of fifteen years and a multibillion dollar company). Custody is provided by the Bank of New York, the world's largest provider of global and domestic custody with $6.9 trillion of assets. The unique integration of SDTC, Sungard Systems and Bank of New York combined with the ability to individualize the offering for each client make SDTC the trust company of choice for the wealthy and their advisors.
SDTC's trust officers are highly credentialed attorneys, accountants and trust professionals who are trained and experienced in the areas of South Dakota trust administration. SDTC's trust officer's goal is to supplement and to facilitate communication with the client, the beneficiaries and the client's other investment, financial planning, legal, insurance and tax advisors. The trust officer acts as a relationship manager customizing trust services individually for each client.
