Notes
Eleutherian Trust Company is on Delaware’s current list of state limited purpose trust companies, at 1105 North Market Street in Wilmington. The firm says it was formed in 2011.
Its pitch is unbundling: clients keep their own investment managers and advisors, and Eleutherian provides fiduciary oversight, administration, custody, and reporting under Delaware’s directed-trust framework. It states it offers no investment management services or products.
It is a boutique. The site names neither owners nor a street address, so the regulator list is the address of record here. Ask for both before an appointment.
What to verify next
The directed-trustee offer is plain and there is no in-house investment product to sell against it. The gaps are disclosure. The site does not name owners or list its street address, so get both in writing, along with a current fee schedule and the custody arrangement at BNY Mellon and Schwab. Ask how many trust officers will cover the account and who backs them up.
