BakerAvenue Spotlight: BakerAvenue Trust Company

Protecting Your Legacy With Intention

BakerAvenue Trust Company

We are excited to announce the launch of BakerAvenue Trust Company, created in partnership with National Advisors Trust (NAT), one of the nation's leading independent trust companies with over $8B in AUA. 

BakerAvenue Trust Company provides clients with independent trustee services that are designed to help your clients protect and manage their legacy with clarity and confidence. We are committee to helping clients navigate all trust-related matters and deliver corporate-directed trustee solutions that reflect their goals and adapt to life's evolving complexities.

One of the most important decisions in your client's estate plan is choosing a trustee. The individual or entity will be responsible for managing their assets and carrying out their wishes for their beneficiaries. While many people default to naming a family member or a friend, appointing a corporate trustee is a powerful alternative that can offer security and peace of mind for your client and their family. BakerAvenue Trust Company can aid in services such as:

  • Review and administer trusts in accordance with the document and governing statues
  • Process and coordinate fiduciary actions including discretionary distributions, document interpretation, tax compliance, and account maintenance
  • Safeguard trust assets and securities, including unique assets
  • Adhere to principal and income accounting standards
  • Prepare and distribute trust accountings and statements

Whether your clients are navigating transitions, planning for future generations, or reaching philanthropic goals, our team ensures their trust strategy is both resilient and refined — so their legacy endures with peace of mind.

Disclosure: BakerAvenue Trust Company was launched to provide our clients with the ability to utilize independent trustee services while maintaining efficient communication between trustees and investment managers. Baker Avenue Asset Management LP is a Trust Representative Office of National Advisors Trust Company (NATC) and National Advisors Trust of South Dakota Inc. (NATSD) doing business as BakerAvenue Trust Company. Under our bifurcated model, corporate Trustee services are delivered exclusively by National Advisors Trust Company doing business as BakerAvenue Trust Company, while Baker Avenue Asset Management LP delivers wealth management services and collaborates with NATC to deliver a seamless client experience. This structure helps ensure you have a personalized and responsive trust administration service from an independent federally chartered trust company, all while maintaining the trusted relationship you have with Baker Avenue Asset Management LP.
