Lauretta Bennett
Saffery Trust Cayman has strengthened its leadership team and continued its strategic growth in the region with the appointment of Lauretta Bennett as Director.
Benett has more than 15 years of experience in the private client sector, specialising in ultra-high-net-worth family offices. She has extensive expertise in complex multi-jurisdictional wealth structuring and non-standard assets including operational businesses, complementing the existing skills within the firm’s Cayman Islands’ team.
As a notary public for the Cayman Islands, and a member of both STEP Cayman Islands and the International Ladies in Trust Association (ILITA), Benett is highly regarded across the region and within the wider wealth management industry, Saffery Trust said in a press release. She has also undertaken a further qualification in family education and governance through STEP.
With a strong background in business development, Benett will play an active role in strengthening Saffery Trust’s growing presence in the Cayman Islands and further afield, fostering new relationships, and identifying opportunities to enhance the firm’s services.
As director, she will oversee and manage the Cayman team alongside Director Lee Hart, sharing people management responsibilities to support colleagues’ personal and professional development. Benett will also work closely with clients and their trusted advisors to ensure complex, multi-jurisdictional wealth structures are established and administered in line with their long-term objectives.
“Saffery Trust has certainly made an impact within the industry in Cayman, and I was keen to join, what is recognized to be, a highly experienced and dynamic team. My personal values align with the firm’s values of excellence, enthusiasm, integrity, and collegiality, which placed it at the forefront in seeking a new opportunity on my career path,” Benett said.
“I place a very high value on personal relationships with clients, colleagues, and intermediaries alike. Saffery Trust’s global reputation for fostering multi-generational relationships reflects my own commitment to being a trusted advisor, working closely with families and their networks to ensure their wealth is preserved, their objectives are met, and their legacy endures for generations to come,” she added.
