About Caldwell Trust Company
Caldwell Trust Company exists to provide personal, traditional and independent trust services. Our team offers a full range of integrated services, tailored to your individual priorities, to help you enhance and protect your legacy for generations to come.
Our Commitment
Since receiving our charter from the State of Florida in 1993, our business has continued to grow through individuals who are attracted to a trust service provider that sincerely believes in giving clients what it promises, including quality investment management and estate planning. We can and do meet a need that is not being filled by conventional providers at larger financial organizations, where fees increase and traditional trust services are abandoned in favor of brokerage and mutual fund-type activities. Caldwell Trust Company has enjoyed continued success by remaining true to the same tenets that management outlined in our original charter application. Simply stated as follows:
Personal - It's a relationship, not a transaction
Traditional - Uphold the values in what we believe
Independent - Community-based decision makers
Our Heritage
Founded in 1993, Caldwell Trust Company is an independent trust company with more than 25 years of investment experience and one billion dollars in assets under management. We’re still right here. Same locations, same ownership, same management – same values as you. We are known for personalized service that safeguards client assets while maximizing investment return. We offer a full range of fiduciary services to individuals including serving as trustee, custodian and investment advisor, financial manager, and personal representative. Additionally, Caldwell offers 401(k) and 403(b) qualified retirement plans to companies.
What We Believe
Each of us in this organization lives and breathes a belief that we are engaged in a truly noble calling, the demands of which are unlike those of any other profession. This is because standards for fiduciaries mandate a level of unwavering conduct, loyalty and personal integrity matched by few other disciplines in this changing and uncertain world. To serve as your trustee or fiduciary, one must find comfort and pleasure being immersed daily in an environment of uncompromised decency and honesty, earning and receiving total confidence from our clients by doing genuine good for them and their families. For this rare individual the personal rewards are high.
It is with this in mind that we assure you, the prospective customer, that the basic policies of the trust business are steeped in the tradition of the common law, withstanding the test of time. This also serves to gently but clearly remind those of us in the profession over and over of those certain cardinal principles, practices and precedents of long standing, that, if adhered to without fail, will benefit the client, our community - all of us - guaranteeing the personal success in this distinct, increasingly vital and growing profession.
In this tradition, we pledge our honor, reputation and names.
