The New York office will operate as part of JTC Group Americas, headed up by managing director of the North American region, Emilio Miguel.
JTC said it will serve as a hub for JTC’s growing network of intermediaries in the US and as a further gateway to the fast-growing Latin American market.
The company appointed Paul Mower as director of the New York office earlier this year.
Prior to joining JTC, Mower was a director and head of wealth planning for Deutsche Bank in the Americas. Originally from the UK, Mower worked in both Jersey and Geneva before moving to New York City in 2008.
He will be joined in the New York office by Nydia Deyne, who also has significant experience in financial services, including wealth planning and fiduciary services, and joins JTC from Citi Bank.
Mower said: ‘I’m delighted to be part of JTC’s exciting growth plans and the New York office will allow us to access the client and intermediary community in one of the world’s leading financial centres.
“Many Latin American and international clients have close ties with the city and it provides an outstanding platform from which to offer our suite of private client, corporate, fund and real estate services.”
