Investec Trust has appointed Rosemary Marr, a deputy chairman of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners Worldwide as a group consultant. Ms Marr will be based in Jersey but will spend much of her time in Investec Trust’s other jurisdictions of Guernsey, Geneva and Mauritius. Over the past few years Ms Marr has been involved with various working parties and steering groups including the Edwards Working group established as a result of the Review of Financial Regulation in the Crown Dependencies. She is also a member of the steering group involved in developing the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998 which now regulates trust and company businesses in Jersey. Most recently she has been an industry representative member of working groups involved with changes to Jersey’s “Anti-Money Laundering Guidance Notes” and of the working party formed to consider the introduction of Foundations to the Island. Investec Trust chief executive Robert Clifford said Ms Marr’s appointment was a natural fit for the business. “In recent years Investec Trust has worked to build a reputation in the market place for being a business of people who understand private clients intimately who work with experts prepared to think innovatively and dynamically.” Ms Marr was previously a director of Pentera Trust Company in Jersey and before that she was managing director at Trident Trust Company in Jersey. Prior to that she was a senior trust director at Standard Bank in Jersey.
