Opening a U.S., European or Asian bank account can involve detailed due diligence, compliance reviews and extensive documentation.

We help clients understand what their prospective banking partners require and coordinate the onboarding process from the initial introduction through to account opening.

Our objective is not simply to make an introduction. We help clients approach the process in a structured and professional manner, improving communication between the client and the financial institution.

Assets Remain with the Regulated Institution

Arboreto Advisors does not take custody of client funds or securities.

Clients establish their accounts directly with the relevant regulated bank or brokerage institution and retain control of their assets, accounts and transactions.

We help clients establish the infrastructure. The regulated financial institution provides the account and custody.

Your Assets Remain Under Your Control

Arboreto Advisors does not take custody of client funds or securities. Where clients use a bank, brokerage firm or other financial institution, accounts and assets remain directly with the relevant regulated institution. Arboreto Advisors does not hold client assets, execute transactions on behalf of clients, or provide discretionary management of client portfolios.

Clients who choose to invest do so directly through their own brokerage or financial institution and remain responsible for their investment decisions, account arrangements and transactions.

We do not receive or hold client investment funds.

International Markets

Our research and consulting work covers international financial markets, with particular familiarity with globally diversified investment portfolios and ETFs available through international brokerage platforms.
