About One Pacific Trust, an independent trustee
One Pacific Trust is an independent trustee in Hong Kong. We hold and administer trusts, and we do not manage the investments, sell investment products or advise on them. We work alongside your lawyers and accountants and keep the record of every decision. Meet the team or contact us to start.
About One Pacific Trust
An independent trustee, not a bank
A bank trust department sits inside a bank that also sells accounts, loans and investment products. Here, independent means something narrow and checkable: we are a trustee and nothing else, so we have no product to place and no portfolio to defend.
Investment decisions stay with you or the person the deed names, and your bank or manager runs the assets. We hold the title, check each instruction and keep the record.

Offices
Where we operate
Our head office is in Hong Kong: Unit 1411, 14/F, Cosco Tower, 183 Queen’s Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
We also have contact offices in Singapore, Vietnam and the United States. Trusts are set up in the jurisdictions listed on our jurisdictions pages, directly or with a local partner who takes a defined role in the trust.
Your documents set out that role before you sign.
Our role
Lines we do not cross
Your own advisers give legal, tax and investment advice. Our job is to administer the trust under its deed.
We never choose the investments; the person the deed names does.
We never promise a legal or tax result, only to follow the deed.
We never act on an instruction the deed or the law does not allow.
Stay safe
How to spot someone pretending to be us
People pretending to be us may contact you. Use these checks before you act on a message.
Check that the sender and every link use our official domain, onepacifictrust.com.
We never ask you to send payment to a personal account.
Confirm the request by signing in to the client portal yourself, not through a link in the message.
FAQ
Questions about how we work
What is an independent trustee?
It is a trustee with no stake in what the trust holds: no bank behind it, no product shelf and no commission from managers. You can test that: ask whether the trustee sells, earns commission on or recommends any product held in the trust. We sell no products and take no commission, so our answer is no.
Do you manage investments?
No. Where the deed allows a licensed manager, the manager decides the investments under a written mandate and a custodian bank holds the assets. The manager sends us statements and the mandate, and we keep both in the trust record so that every holding can be traced.
