About ILS World

A Global Provider of Independent Fiduciary Services.

Who we are.

Originally established in 1991, ILS World is a global provider of independent fiduciary services to professional advisors, international corporate groups, and private clients. As a privately owned company, we specialise in creating bespoke structures tailored to the specific needs of each one of our clients.

With more businesses consolidating into larger, private equity-owned companies, we have made the conscious decision to remain independent. Our independency is what makes us who we are, and we stay true to who we are, and that is a fiduciary. A fiduciary that isn’t in competition with its professional introducers, and with no conflicts of interest in our roles as directors, trustees, and administrators.

At ILS World we don’t restrict ourselves, we like to go beyond the borders. That is why we operate globally with offices in British Virgin Islands, Isle of Man, Hong Kong Portugal.

Our People

We appreciate the hard work of all our employees around the globe, their success is just as important as our business success.

More than 50 % of our employees have been with us for longer than five years. Having a high employee retention rate, allows us to provide long term stable relationships with our clients, with a high degree of certainty and continuity.

At ILS World, we provide opportunity for employee career progression and development, and reward and celebrate their achievements.

Our commitments.

We strive to support local charities and groups that contribute to helping our Island thrive. We are a Corporate Partner for UNESCO Biosphere and the Manx Wildlife Trust.

Each year we support a local Charity which is nominated by our employees. For 2024 our Charity of the Year is the Manx Bat Group. Who knew there were so many bats on the Isle of Man, you can find out more here.

Our values.

The Orizuru is the core of our business. At ILS World we don’t restrict ourselves, we go above and beyond the borders for our clients.

History shows the Japanese origami bird symbolises honor, freedom, loyalty, longevity, and commitment. All the elements that ILS World value.

Our values play a key role in our company’s history, they are an integral part of how we operate. They define who ILS World are, and that is a people first, independent company that shows integrity and commitment.

Over 20 years I have seen aspects of the business change but one thing that has always been the same since day one is the office atmosphere.
