Arolla Partners has announced the launch of a new service line designed to provide Fiduciary Service Providers (FSPs), Family Offices and Multi-Family Offices with independent expertise in managing their fiduciary duties and enhancing their oversight of assets under administration.

The new service will be led by Simon Sharrott, who recently joined the Arolla team. Simon is a Guernsey based investment professional with more than two decades of offshore industry experience spanning fund management, portfolio management, wealth management and private equity.

Most recently, Simon served as Joint Managing Director and Group CEO at MitonOptimal Portfolio Management (CI) Limited prior to its acquisition by the Ravenscroft Group in 2022. Following the acquisition, he continued with Ravenscroft until April 2024 as Director and Portfolio Manager.

Simon currently serves as a Non-Executive Director on the boards of several Guernsey-regulated investment vehicles and sits on a range of multi-jurisdictional investment management committees, where he provides independent oversight of investment strategy, governance, and performance.  

Arolla’s new service line provides independent analysis, process enhancement and cost transparency, enabling fiduciary providers and family offices to strengthen oversight, reduce administrative burden, and achieve greater efficiency.

Commenting on his appointment, Simon Sharrott said: “I am delighted to have joined Arolla earlier this year and be able to launch this new offering which complements my current activities, at a time when investment scrutiny and oversight have never been more important. Fiduciary service providers and family offices face increasing complexity in fulfilling their duties, and our independent, expert approach will give them confidence in both their processes and the value they deliver to clients.”

Andreas Tautscher, Arolla Chairman, added: “Simon’s appointment marks an important step in the continued growth of our business. His deep experience and leadership will ensure that our new service line delivers the independence, clarity and practical guidance our clients need to navigate their fiduciary responsibilities with confidence.”
