The Company listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in March 2007. The traditional business of CTSPs is to administer and manage personal, family and commercial assets and income streams in tax efficient offshore jurisdictions. The Company's aim is to grow through acquiring and consolidating high quality existing CTSPs which offer complementary products and services and that operate in complementary tax efficient jurisdictions to those provided by STM's first acquisition, the Gibraltar based CTSP, Fidecs Group Limited ('Fidecs'). Fidecs is the second largest financial services firm in Gibraltar and employs 80 people. It specialises in financial planning for both High Net Worth individuals ('HNWI') moving to work, living or retiring overseas or making cross-border investments, and for entrepreneurial, predominantly, owner-managed businesses, expanding into or re-locating to other, frequently lower tax, jurisdictions. It also includes an insurance management division, specialising in providing set up and management services to newly formed insurance companies operating out of Gibraltar. In the year ended 31 December 2006, Fidecs reported turnover of £5 million with post tax profit of £1.7 million. In June 2007 STM acquired the Atlas Group of companies, a privately held CTSP provider, based in Gibraltar which has been integrated into the operations of STM Fidecs. The CTSP market is fragmented in nature, comprising a small number of very large international financial services groups and a large number of relatively small trust and company management businesses regulated by, and operating out of, single offshore jurisdictions.
