About us
A trustee is only as good as the institution standing behind it.
Teras Trustees Berhad is a Malaysian trust company formed to act as executor, trustee and custodian — for families, and for institutions that need assets held by a neutral party.
Our mandate
We exist for one reason: to hold property that is not ours, and to deal with it exactly as the instrument requires. That is a narrow business, and we have deliberately kept it narrow — we do not manage money, sell investments, or take positions that could put us on the other side of a client.
For families, that means a will or trust that will still be honoured decades from now, administered by an institution rather than a relative. For companies and platforms, it means a trustee whose only interest in the transaction is that the deed is followed.
Being new is the reason we are built the way we are. We are not carrying three decades of paper files and batch processes, so we could design the firm around digital execution, an auditable record and an API from the first mandate onwards.
