As part of its ongoing commitment to offering clients flexibility and options, Alaska Trust Company has announced that it will be changing its name to Peak Trust Company and expanding by opening a new office in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"After beginning this project in 2013, we are delighted to finally announce the opening of our new office in Las Vegas," explains Doug Blattmachr, president of the newly renamed firm.
"Our clients demand the best. We are delivering by offering them the ability to choose the jurisdiction that best suits their individual needs. The favorable laws in Nevada and client demand made Nevada a natural place for us to expand."
With two of the nation's finest and most trust-friendly jurisdictions to work with, Peak now offers family offices, high-net-worth individuals and other entities that might benefit from world-class asset protection, dynastic planning horizons and other sophisticated trust capabilities.
Those who prefer the Alaska statutes can still benefit from them, while others can now take advantage of the Nevada rules.
The expanded geographical footprint naturally required a new name, notes Doug Blattmachr.
“We are also very excited to officially launch our new corporate identity with a name that aligns to our firm’s commitment to giving our clients the highest level of service and choice when it comes to their trust and wealth management needs,” he explains.
Management views the shift to the Peak Trust Company name as a major milestone on the road toward creating the most elite independent trust company in the nation. None of the expertise or systems that drove the company as "Alaska Trust" will vanish.
"We are building on almost 20 years of tradition, innovation and growth that began under the Alaska Trust name," Doug Blattmachr sums up.
"We strongly believe the Peak Trust Company name provides us with broader marketplace appeal and scalability that will help us grow the company and build long-term brand equity as we look toward the next chapter."
