Saffery Trust Cayman has strengthened its leadership team and continued its strategic growth in the region with the appointment of Lauretta Bennett as Director.
Lauretta brings over 15 years of experience in the private client sector, specialising in ultra-high-net-worth family offices, which is a core client base for the multi-award-winning firm. She has extensive expertise in complex multi-jurisdictional wealth structuring and non-standard assets including operational businesses, complementing the existing skills within the firm’s Cayman Islands’ team.
As a Notary Public for the Cayman Islands, and a member of both STEP Cayman Islands and the International Ladies in Trust Association (ILITA), Lauretta is highly regarded across the region and within the wider wealth management industry. She has also undertaken a further qualification in family education and governance through STEP.
With a strong background in business development, Lauretta will play an active role in strengthening Saffery Trust’s growing presence in the Cayman Islands and further afield, fostering new relationships, and identifying opportunities to enhance the firm’s services.
As Director, Lauretta will oversee and manage the Cayman team alongside Director Lee Hart, sharing people management responsibilities to support colleagues’ personal and professional development. Lauretta will also work closely with clients and their trusted advisors to ensure complex, multi-jurisdictional wealth structures are established and administered in line with their long-term objectives.
Lauretta said: “Saffery Trust has certainly made an impact within the industry in Cayman, and I was keen to join, what is recognised to be, a highly experienced and dynamic team. My personal values align with the firm’s values of excellence, enthusiasm, integrity, and collegiality, which placed it at the forefront in seeking a new opportunity on my career path.”
“I place a very high value on personal relationships with clients, colleagues, and intermediaries alike. Saffery Trust’s global reputation for fostering multi-generational relationships reflects my own commitment to being a trusted advisor, working closely with families and their networks to ensure their wealth is preserved, their objectives are met, and their legacy endures for generations to come.”
Saffery Trust Group and Cayman Director, Lisa Vizia, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Lauretta to the team and have no doubt that she will play an integral role in our continued growth and success. Her blend of technical precision and relationship-focused service is central to delivering the stability, trust, and continuity that our clients rely on, and we are confident she will be a valuable asset to both our clients and the wider team.”
