An independent, licensed trust company for Malaysian families — our featured partner.
Global Asset Trustee (M) Berhad (GAT) is an independent trust company that has operated in Malaysia since 1997 — more than 27 years in the trust and estate field. It is the featured partner on MalaysiaTrustee.com.
Licensed under the Trust Companies Act 1949, GAT builds its proposition on independence: it is not owned by, or tied to, any bank or financial group. The company says this keeps its structuring and administration impartial and aligned with clients' interests, rather than steering families toward in-house products.
Its work spans everyday estate planning through to more complex corporate trust structures. The company reports managing over RM1.9 billion in assets for more than 10,000 clients nationwide. For families who specifically want an independent trustee — rather than a bank-affiliated or purely retail provider — GAT is the trustee we feature.
Looking for the right structure first? Start with estate planning, a family trust or a private trust, then speak with GAT to put it in place.
