Testimonials

I have worked with the OCSL Group and its founder Ed Rogers (EJR) for more than 10 year.

We rely on OCSL Group, for fiduciary advice, because I cannot think of any trust professional, throughout the world, who possesses the multi-jurisdiction trust knowledge that EJR enjoys.

I am delighted to be able to recommend EJR and the OCSL Group to prospective clients.

Jaswinder Sekhon

Principal, Goldman Law

I commend the OCSL team for their consistent professionalism in wealth planning and their “out of the box” thinking.

We have been working together, for years, and I have always been impressed with the skill, foresight, and diligence that Ed Rogers displays as a fiduciary consultant and wealth planner.

I have come to know the OCSL team as knowledgeable, experienced, and flexible professionals who are also astute business people.

Svetla Pencheva

Managing Director, SPDF Group

With OCSL Group’s help, we expect to expand the trust services that our Hong Kong-licensed TCSP is currently delivering to clients because OCSL Group has proved to have vast trust knowledge and experience.

OCSL Group has also proved to be very helpful whenever we require legal, banking or asset management services outside of Hong Kong.

Thus, we wish to recommend OCSL Group to our clients and contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t want to pay any taxes. Can you help me?

The answer is generally “no way Jose” depending on how you want to live and where you want to live? Nevertheless, OCSL Group can possibly assist you to obtain long-term tax deferrals by tax-efficiently restructuring your business and personal affairs.

How can a trust or foundation benefit me?

The answer will also depend on where you live and what you are trying to achieve? The main benefit of fiduciary entities is that they hold assets on your behalf, which means that those assets are no longer directly owned by you. That can offer asset and creditor protection benefits and also result in certain tax benefits. A trust or foundation can also deliver succession planning benefits so as assets can be passed to your heirs without going through probate (or any civil-law equivalent) and possibly also free of inheritance taxes.

I want to establish an investment fund. Can you help me?

OCSL Group can assist to establish regulated funds, in various jurisdictions, and also unregulated funds in the Netherlands. We can also obtain all fund resources needed including fund administration and/or fund accounting services, compliance, banking and custodian services. We can also assist with the incorporation and licensing of fund managers if required. OCSL Group has also assisted investment managers to establish PAMM/MAM accounts with regulated trading exchanges when an investment manager does not yet have sufficient fee income to establish a fund.

I need an experienced non-executive director. Do you know of any?

The CEO of the OCSL Group, Ed Rogers, has been a director of over 600 companies in multiple jurisdictions including holding, trading, investment, corporate services, fiduciary, and corporate protector companies. Though our business partners and affiliates, we can also offer corporate directors/managers and corporate nominee shareholder services. We also partner with individuals who are willing to act as independent nominee directors and managers including a US citizen nominee.

I need banking, tax advice and loan financing for a sophisticated commercial cross-border trading venture. Can you help?

In an era where major retail banks are de-risking, trading and commercial ventures often struggle to obtain business banking facilities. Working through our business partner network, OCSL Group often can furnish the solution to these issues. We also have tax advisor affiliates, in many jurisdictions, who can furnish cross-border tax advice including personal tax advice for business and beneficial owners. OCSL Group also has business partners who specialize in loan and project financing when needed.

I want to invest in crypto currencies. Do you know how I should do it?

Our alternative investments company, Cavehill Investments Limited (CIL), retains crypto specialists who can advise on all aspects of owning and investing in crypto currencies including the pros and cons of using crypto exchanges. We can also advise on the use of online “hot” wallets and offline “cold” wallets for holding crypto and digital assets. CIL can also analyze crypto & forex investment opportunities to determine whether they are legitimate as the digital asset space is largely unregulated.
