NAVICELLA INVESTMENT TRUST
A Liechtenstein trusteeship charting private capital through changing waters — from real assets and private markets to the digital economy. Forty-three years on the public register — one continuous course, held quietly.
A course held for four decades
Navicella — the little vessel. The name was chosen in 1982 and has not needed revision since. A trusteeship is not a venture; it is a passage. Its worth is measured not in the noise of a quarter but in the quiet of decades.
Constituted in Vaduz under Liechtenstein law, the trust was entered on the public register as a Treuhänderschaft — a fiduciary structure built for continuity, confidentiality and the orderly transmission of private wealth between generations.
Four decades later the entry remains active, the domicile unchanged, and the discipline the same: patient allocation, deliberate governance, and a refusal to confuse motion with progress.
Six disciplines, one obligation
Drag the horizon. Every mandate begins with the same question: what must survive us? Across real assets, private markets and the digital economy.
Trust & Fiduciary Administration
Formation, day-to-day administration and custodianship of trust structures under Liechtenstein law — with the record-keeping rigour a forty-three year entry demands.
- Deed & by-law stewardship
- Registered office & domiciliation
- Minute books and resolutions
Private Wealth Structuring
Architecture before allocation. Holding layers, foundations and trust arrangements designed for the family, the jurisdiction and the horizon — in that order.
- Structure design & review
- Asset segregation
- Cross-entity coordination
Portfolio Oversight
Independent supervision of appointed managers and custodians: mandate compliance, concentration, liquidity and cost — reported plainly, without embellishment. Digital assets and on-chain positions are monitored with the same discipline.
- Manager selection & review
- Risk & exposure monitoring
- Consolidated reporting
Succession & Estate Planning
The transfer of a lifetime's work should be an event without drama. Instructions drafted early, tested often, and executed exactly when the moment arrives.
- Letters of wishes
- Generational transfer plans
- Executor coordination
Cross-Border Compliance
Liechtenstein sits between systems. Substance requirements, exchange-of-information regimes and beneficial-ownership duties are handled as routine, not as crisis.
- Regulatory filings
- AML / KYC lifecycle
- Registry maintenance
Family Governance
Charters, councils and the difficult conversations held before they become disputes. A structure only endures if the people inside it understand why it exists.
- Family charter drafting
- Next-generation education
- Conflict protocols
Every mandate is bespoke

Soundings
We map what exists before proposing anything: assets, jurisdictions, obligations, intentions, and the people who will inherit all four. Nothing is drafted in the first meeting.
Charting
A written structure memorandum: the vehicles, the flows, the tax and reporting consequences, the failure modes. Presented with alternatives, not a single recommendation.
Passage
Implementation with counsel, banks and auditors coordinated from one desk. Deadlines are ours to hold. You receive one point of contact and one consolidated file.
Watch
Annual review of structure, mandate and register standing. Law changes; families change. A structure that is never revisited is a structure quietly going out of date.
Forty-three years, four marks
