The first Sovereign Group office opened in Gibraltar in 1987. Sovereign's core business is setting up and managing tax-efficient structures to assist wealth management, foreign property ownership and cross-border business. The Sovereign Group has offices or agents in all the major offshore and onshore financial centres.
In addition to high net worth individuals and their families, Sovereign’s clients include expatriates, entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes. Sovereign also offers a wide range of services that are natural adjuncts to their main activity, including asset management, financing, specialist tax advice and credit cards.
Howard Bilton, a tax lawyer, is the chairman of the Sovereign Group. Bilton was responsible for setting up the Sovereign Art Foundation which runs both the Sovereign Asian and European Art Prize, turning his art-collecting hobby into what is now Asia’s largest art prize.
