Nautilus expands into Mauritius

As part of its global growth strategy, Jersey based Nautilus Group, has opened an office in Mauritius. 

The addition of Nautilus Fiduciary Mauritius Limited to the Nautilus Group will see the company strengthen its team by 12, bringing the number of Group employees to 77. 

‘The creation of Nautilus Fiduciary Mauritius Limited will give our clients access to a greater pool of experts,’ said Jason Cowleard, managing director of Nautilus Trust Company Limited. ‘We are focused on delivering clients an exceptional service through a robust and dynamic regulatory framework, with access to multiple jurisdictions, and this move will help us to continue doing this. Our clients are increasingly globally mobile and by offering the same Nautilus service in multiple jurisdictions, we are best placed to meet their needs.’ 

Nautilus was incorporated in 1999 and has grown from a team of two to 65 through organic growth and a series of acquisitions, including the acquisition of New World Trustees (Jersey) Limited earlier this year. Nautilus is an independent trust company based in Jersey and boasts a client-focused team offering flexible solutions to clients around the world. The company specialises in the establishment and management of trusts and companies, and also offers an exhaustive list of comprehensive financial solutions to assist with wealth management. 

‘While we continue to explore our growth strategy and are looking at other international jurisdictions, it is equally important that we maintain our client focused working ethos. Our controlled approach to Nautilus’ expansion strategy over the last 14 years demonstrates the level of importance we place in maintaining our high levels of client service - our clients’ best interests are very much at the centre of our business strategy,’ added Mr Cowleard. 

Tim Bennett, director of Nautilus Fiduciary Mauritius Limited, added: ‘It is excellent news for Nautilus’ client base that the Group has expanded into Mauritius, the gateway into Africa. It is also great for Jersey, to have a brand with such a strong reputation as Nautilus, flying the flag for Jersey in this jurisdiction.’
