Advisor Group's Premier Trust Expands Business Development And Trust Administration Teams To Support Surge In Demand For Sophisticated, Financial Advisor-Friendly Trust Solutions

PHOENIX, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Premier Trust, Inc., in its trustee capacity for sophisticated trust services for High-Net-Worth (HNW) clients, today announced it will expand its business development team and number of trust officers and administrators in response to surging demand for intergenerational asset protection and personal trust services. These moves will enhance service to the financial professionals across the wealth management space who are exploring trust services for their clients. Premier Trust is a subsidiary of Advisor Group, the nation's largest network of independent wealth management firms.

Last year, Premier Trust's account originations increased by 39%. The company facilitated nine times as many clients in December 2020 than in the same month in 2019, as clients opened 450 new trusts in the last month of the year. This demand was primarily due to anticipated changes to federal tax codes and expected shifts in regulatory priorities under the Biden Administration that may affect intergenerational wealth planning.

Mark Dreschler, President, CEO and Co-Founder of Premier Trust, said, "Our growth as a provider of trust services for HNW individuals, families and their financial advisors is predicated on a conflict-free approach to finding the right solution for each client situation. As changes in wealth management regulation and tax policy continue to drive a surge in demand for our services, Premier Trust's goal is to provide financial advisors and attorneys around the country with the exceptional level of service that established our leadership in this industry over the past 20 years."

Advisor Group President, Products & Platforms Matthew Schlueter said, "By focusing solely on the administration of trusts versus competing against financial advisors for asset management or wealth management services, Premier Trust provides incredible value to financial advisors throughout the wealth management space. Premier Trust, as an 'advisor friendly trustee,' assists financial professionals to better understand this vital tool as part of their clients' long-term planning."

Allison Pratt, EVP National Sales & Consulting at Advisor Group, added, "Asset management is becoming commoditized. Our financial professionals continue to expand the set of services they provide to their clients to create more comprehensive, advice-centered businesses. The ability to leverage a firm like Premier Trust as an extension of Advisor Group's advanced sales support is a game changer for us."
