A timely discussion on how Cyprus can continue to evolve as a competitive private wealth jurisdiction. As highlighted, while our trust framework remains robust and internationally respected, the introduction of a modern foundations regime is a natural next step in broadening our reach and strengthening our offering.

Always a pleasure to contribute to the conversation shaping the future of our industry — and to support the ongoing development of Cyprus as a fully-fledged international wealth structuring hub.

A busy — but highly productive and insightful week for both STEP Cyprus and N. Xenofontos LLC 🚀

Not just another conference, but a convergence of serious expertise shaping the future of private wealth. ⚡️

Our Managing Partner and Founder Nicky Xenofontos contributed as a speaker in two panels — and moderated one — at the flagship conference “Private Clients in the Changing World: Where East Meets West” in Limassol organised by Boltenko - Kroon, Stella Kammitsi, Paolo Panico in association with the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, supported by Cyprus.

The message is clear: complexity is increasing, expectations are higher, and the role of the trusted advisor has never been more critical.

Proud to be the Chair of STEP Cyprus, the STEP Cyprus Board — a team that consistently drives substance, not noise. 👊

Equally valuable was the opportunity to engage with outstanding professionals from across jurisdictions. Real conversations. Real insight. Real impact.

This is how the private client space moves forward.

The founder and Managing Partner of our firm and in her capacity as Chair of STEP Cyprus and Deputy Chair of STEP Europe, participated in the 10th Professional Services Conference organised by , powered by Bank of Cyprus. Discussing Cyprus as a preferable jurisdiction for relocation, succession planning, and creation of family offices, a clear and accelerating shift towards Cyprus is evident.

💡 This insightful article captures what many of us in the private client space are experiencing daily; Cyprus is no longer a peripheral option, but an increasingly strategic jurisdiction for international wealth structuring.

From practice on the ground, the demand has evolved. Clients are no longer seeking fragmented solutions, but fully integrated approaches combining:

• trusts and succession planning
• family office structuring
• cross-border asset protection
• regulatory certainty and credibility
• robust and internationally aligned banking solutions

At the same time, through her role within the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) network, it is evident that this is not just a local trend — it is part of a broader European repositioning of the private client industry.

Jurisdictions that can strike the right balance between compliance, sophistication, and flexibility will lead.

Cyprus is firmly in that space — but the real opportunity lies ahead: continuing to strengthen Cyprus' ecosystem, elevate professional standards, and position Cyprus as a credible hub for global families and family offices.

A sincere thank you to fellow panellists, Christos M Ioannou, Zenon Papaphilippou, Marios Souroullas for an insightful and engaging discussion; these exchanges are critical in shaping the future of our industry.

We are pleased to announce that Nicky Xenofontos, Founder and Managing Partner of N. Xenofontos LLC, will be speaking at the 10th Cyprus Professional Services Conference, taking place on 21 April 2026 in Nicosia.

Nicky will participate in the discussion “The Cyprus Private Client Ecosystem & Wealth Infrastructure – Strengthening Cyprus’ Value Proposition for HNWIs, Family Offices and Global Investors.”

As global wealth becomes increasingly mobile, jurisdictions are evaluated not only on tax considerations but on the strength of their overall wealth infrastructure — including legal certainty, governance frameworks, succession planning tools and the depth of professional expertise available to international clients.

Cyprus is well positioned to serve as a hub for private clients and family offices, and this discussion will explore how the country can continue to strengthen and position its offering for high-net-worth individuals and global investors.

We look forward to this important conversation with leading professionals from across the industry.
