- The same page states KENDRIS TRUSTEES (USA) LLC is an independent U.S. trust company, fully owned by KENDRIS Ltd., and that it provides U.S. trust services with the exception of asset management, ranging from directed and delegated trust administration to trusts with financial and non-financial assets.
- Dedicated Directed trust and Delegated trust sections sit on that page. Directed = an external investment advisor or manager directs investments, usually under a defined policy, and South Dakota statute relieves the trustee of investment responsibilities. Delegated = the trustee may delegate fiduciary authority but must select and monitor the delegate.

Notes
KENDRIS TRUSTEES (USA) LLC is on the South Dakota Division of Banking September 2026 roster as a public trust company (TC.115-2), first issued 28 October 2016, at 212 S. Main Ave., Suite 139, Sioux Falls. The firm publishes +1 605 271-5144 and info@kendristrustees.com.
This is the U.S. public charter of KENDRIS Ltd. in Zürich. The firm calls itself an independent U.S. trust company and says it offers directed and delegated administration with the exception of asset management. Dedicated Directed trust and Delegated trust sections sit on the public site. Additional offices are published in Miami and New York. Confirm the South Dakota entity is the signer. This page does not invent fees or AUM.
What to verify next
Confirm credential TC.115-2 and that KENDRIS TRUSTEES (USA) LLC — not KENDRIS Ltd. in Zürich, and not a Miami or New York letterhead — is the appointed South Dakota trustee. Get the seat in writing. The firm publishes directed and delegated administration and says it does not do asset management; ask which office will actually administer and how the Zürich affiliate sits beside the U.S. charter. Ask for a current fee schedule; do not invent fees. Omit AUM.
