Who we are:
Investing & Structuring
As a deliberately small and hence focused, dedicated partnership our key focus is helping our clients to invest through our two fund products, one for (expected) shorter durations, the other for a long-term oriented investment strategy. The ultimate benefit of the returns to our investors will also depend significantly on the frame within which those returns are received. Accordingly, we like to cover both the actual investment process as well as supporting you with the set-up and management of an appropriate conduit for your assets.
International Presence
Our headquarter is based in Tallinn, Estonia – Europe‘s leading electronic banking centre – offering low taxation and a very favorable business climate. Our subsidiary Bernstein Financial Inc. is directly active in Miami. A full service representative office in Switzerland provides personalised and direct access to our team and resources.
Our Main Objectives
Intelligence on private banks
Our main objective is to help investors make better decisions when establishing a private banking relationship and investing capital. For that matter, we provide guidance on costs, service levels, data protection, performance, compliance and other relevant criteria for private bank selection.
Generate value & income - short-term & long-term
In addition to the advisory side, we welcome the opportunity to provide you with low-cost, flexible access to our two investment products: 1) the Bernstein Value & Income Portfolio (“BVIP”), a long-term oriented vehicle following our core investment principles (see "Ten Commandments") and 2) the Accumulating Interest - Cash Deposit Certificates ("AI-CDC"), an innovative, flexible product for short-term cash investments.

Additional Services
Private Banking Advisory
The Managing Partners of Bernstein Trust are clients of private banks themselves. However, they have restricted their use to bare essentials, i.e. custody services, transfer & clearing services, cash handling and safe-keeping where necessary. Overall - based on their own experience, interviews with other clients of private banks and additional research - when it comes to the actual investment management and advisory part, most private banks offer a mediocre to lousy service, notably when compared to the costs and fees involved. To select the better performers and to help you reduce your fees ...
