Security Trustee Services

Independent Security Trustee for asset-backed structures

What we do

We provide an independent security trustee service to hold security of assets on behalf of investors.
Security of assets is held through a range of instruments including a charge over real estate, a debenture over the assets of a company and an undertaking and/or assignment of security from a UK regulated solicitor. The Security Trustee holds the charge for the benefit of the investors.
In the event of a default, the security trustee acts as an independent entity, solely on behalf of investors.

Is this service regulated by the FCA

No. Security Trustee services are not a regulated activity and investors must not rely on any protection from the FCA of any regulator in the event of a security trustee going into administration.

Does the security trustee guarantee the value of assets?

No. Although the Security Trustee acts solely on behalf of investors, it can only assist with the security it holds over the assets and cannot guarantee the value of those assets.

Benefits of a Security Trustee

In the unfortunate event the issuer of the security defaults on its obligations to its investors, a security trustee provides a direct line of communication for a route to recovery.
A Security Trustee means investors do not need to appoint their own legal representatives in order to enforce the security held.
Security Trustees stream line both the recovery process, corporate actions and avoids the cost and time delays experienced when appointing an administrator.
