, the global provider of fund, corporate and private client services which has raised capital to fund acquisitions, has appointed former Bank of America Merrill Lynch figure Charles-Henry Courtois as regional head – AMEA within its Private Client Services division.

(“AMEA” stands for Asia, the Middle East and Africa.)

Based in London, Courtois sits on JTC’s PCS executive committee and provides oversight for PCS’ client service and business development activities across the AMEA region and is responsible for its development and performance.

With 25 years’ experience in the international private client space, Courtois began his career in Jersey with a major European trust administration firm before relocating to London as the deputy head of tax and estate planning business. He joins JTC from Bank of America Merrill Lynch where he worked for 15 years, first as a wealth strategist for the EMEA region and subsequently as the head of the international trust and wealth structuring group. Most recently, Courtois has served in a number of senior roles for the firm in the US in the institutional retirement space. He read law in Paris, holds a masters in public policy from the UCL and is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).

JTC has been expanding. In early May, it raised £65.9 million ($80.7 million) from its first capital markets placing since the group listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2018. The capital will be used to fund a “pipeline” of acquisition opportunities, as well as bolster its balance sheet.
