Based on JTC’s Private Office services, accounting, regulatory reporting, and family governance services, as well as other services, FRTC-DE will present potential to grow JTC’s market share in the larger US private client services market.

The deal is still dependent on final regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Nigel Le Quesne, chief executive officer of JTC, shared: “We are delighted to announce the proposed acquisition of First Republic Trust Company, subject to final regulatory approvals, and are looking forward to welcoming their highly experienced team and clients to JTC, as we further develop and expand our personal trust services in this large and fast-growing market.  This is an acquisition that builds on our other recent successful acquisitions, bringing us greater scale in the US and providing opportunities to offer our wider range of services to First Republic Trust Company’s clients.”
