SINGAPORE Singapore is a major international financial centre located in South East Asia. Its remarkable growth story since independence in 1965 is such that Singapore is now a major international player in financial services, shipping, banking, manufacturing, and research & development. Indeed Singapore is recognised as the world’s 4th leading financial centre and its port is one of the five busiest in the world. Regularly voted as one the most business friendly jurisdictions in the world, Singapore is now seen as the most attractive base for Asian operations for many banks, hedge funds, and family offices. Singapore’s ability to attract private and institutional investors is based on its ability to demonstrate key attributes: • Common law legal framework; • Excellent infrastructure; • Economic, social and political stability; • Corporate legal structure that is conducive to business; • Geographical location; • World class regulation; • Tax treaties in place with many of its Asian neighbours, as well as internationally; and • Attractive corporate tax rates. The majority of the world’s major banks, legal firms, and financial ser vices professionals have a presence in Singapore, and many consider Singapore to be their Asia Pacific Head Office. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is the integrated regulator and supervisor of financial institutions in Singapore. Singapore has established strict and rigorous anti-money laundering regulations and is countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regimes through its comprehensive and sound legal, institutional, policy and supervisory framework. As a member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Singapore also contributes actively towards international AML/CFT standard-setting discussions

Companies and partnerships are flexible vehicles that can be used and integrated into a wide variety of asset management and asset protection structures and tax planning structures. COMPANIES & PARTNERSHIPS Companies and partnerships are flexible vehicles that can be used and integrated into a wide variety of asset management and asset protection structures and tax planning structures. They are sometimes used on their own but more commonly used together with other vehicles. The combination with a trust, for example, often provides more effective protection as well as greater flexibility. Many jurisdictions are introducing new legislation designed for international business needs and the types and nature of companies and partnerships available in those jurisdictions should be considered as well as other matters such as infrastructure and stability. With offices in many of the jurisdictions featuring specialised company and partnership laws, we are well placed to meet most client requirements. We provide a comprehensive range of corporate and partnership services and are able to assist with all matters relating to the establishment, administration and management of companies and partnerships in all the major jurisdictions. As we are completely independent and we are not tied to any other service provider, we are able to offer our clients unfettered choice in selecting third party providers and working with other professional advisers. We aim to offer the highest level of personal service as our culture is all about building long term relationships. Many of our clients have been with us, not just for years, but for generations.

We recognise that behind every trust or foundation is a family, with its individual issues and aims, ranging from the preservation of the family business or its inherited wealth, to matters of potential conflict within a family, such as generational change or divorce. TRUSTS We recognise that behind every trust or foundation is a family, with its individual issues and aims, ranging from the preservation of the family business or its inherited wealth, to matters of potential conflict within a family, such as generational change or divorce. Our partners are experienced in dealing sensitively with the pressures faced by such families, and fully accept the demands of a trustee’s role. They are used to dealing with the demands of multiple jurisdictions and the complex regulatory, tax and reporting requirements involved. They actively seek solutions tailored to ensure that, while the trust assets are preserved and can grow, the beneficiaries interests are maintained. They understand that full accountability and efficient administration are essential, coupled with an ability to deal sensitively with beneficiaries at every stage in life. Our Specialists

Reporting and maintaining your results is only one part of what is really required. Traditional bookkeeping is historical based, looking at results compared to market, or reporting annual, quarterly or monthly performance. PLANNING & FORECASTING Reporting and maintaining your results is only one part of what is really required. Traditional bookkeeping is historical based, looking at results compared to market, or reporting annual, quarterly or monthly performance. But a huge part of a true CFO Function must be forward looking for it to add real value to your business. Preparing a budget should not just be based on your previous year actuals, then accounting for inflation. A “bottom-up” budget should always be done, and using Rawlinson & Hunter Singapore, we will provide an in depth analysis of your cost base, market conditions, business plans, cash, customer and financing position to ensure that a realistic, target driven budget is prepared. We are a partner for the long term, and will advise and assist in the coming years to help you achieve, and exceed this target. A traditional budget will only get you one or two years into the future. The critical difference between those companies that do well and those that excel is that the majority have a 5 or 10 year plan. Rawlinson & Hunter Singapore is uniquely placed to work with you and your team to understand where you want to be in 5 and 10 years time, how you want to get there, and build an innovative solution to achieve this goal.

As investment products become more diverse, keeping track of the financially successful family’s assets and their value is becoming increasingly difficult. This can make monitoring the family’s wealth, at best, more time consuming and, at worst, almost impossible for the family administrator or trustee. WEALTH REPORTING As investment products become more diverse, keeping track of the financially successful family’s assets and their value is becoming increasingly difficult. This can make monitoring the family’s wealth, at best, more time consuming and, at worst, almost impossible for the family administrator or trustee. We have developed our own systems and procedures for monitoring the composition and performance of a family’s investments and other assets. Our systems enable us to present the family or its advisers with comprehensive and timely reports consolidating the family’s entire asset base. The asset and performance analyses within our reports are tailored to the individual family’s needs in a way that we believe is unique in the marketplace. We consider that our independence from the investment process means that we can concentrate on our client’s needs and monitor objectively any investment adviser’s performance. Our Specialists
