This is an excerpt from the episode published on Sunday.

There's nothing I enjoy more than exploring complex and intriguing areas of finance with you. n this podcast, our guest from Switzerland sheds light on fiduciary services, trusts, and their relationship with wealth management, as well as common misconceptions. We discuss the use, benefits, and drawbacks of trusts for holding assets such as rainforest deeds, IP, and digital assets, and the importance of fiduciary duties and governance. 

We also touch on the typology of clients using trusts, including pioneers, founders, and experienced investors. Siobhan mentions the evolution of regulation and the interest in building trusts in Switzerland, along with the controversy surrounding the Pandora papers.

During the conversation, she talks about the challenges of building trusts in the context of digital assets, including specific use cases such as the inheritance of NFTs and the creation of a Token Foundation through which DAOs with their own on-chain treasury can interact with the off-chain world. She explains the partnerships Saffery Champness is building with service providers in traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem, such as Coinify.
