SIOUX FALLS, S.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZEDRA, the fast-growing global specialist in Active Wealth, as well as Corporate, Global Expansion, Funds, Pensions and Incentives services, today announces the opening of a new office in South Dakota, expanding the trust services provided to both international and domestic US clients. ZEDRA’s new office will strengthen the firm’s presence in the Americas and promote its proven active wealth expertise in the US private wealth space. The new office, led by its Managing Director, Jon Olson, will offer a full set of trust administration services tailored to international clients, spanning from high-net-worth-individuals, families, entrepreneurs as well as their relevant advisors.
The office opening follows a number of recent acquisitions in the Americas, including US and Curaçao-based, Atlas Fund Services, now rebranded to ZEDRA Funds, which provides long-term, tailored, and reliable alternative investment fund services to US-based investment managers. ZEDRA also acquired US Global Expansion Specialist, Axelia Partners, in 2022, now rebranded to ZEDRA Global Expansion Services US, which facilitates the expansion in the US of predominantly European headquartered businesses and entrepreneurs.

“The expansion of ZEDRA’s trust services in the US supports our reputation as an international leader for trust services and is a natural next step in bolstering the firm’s global offering for private clients, cementing the business opportunities of our Miami office across North and Latin America.”
Jon Olson, Managing Director of ZEDRA in South Dakota, said: “We are excited about the endless possibilities that the new office represents, both for the firm and our clients.
