Patricia White

When we first approached Patricia's firm to act as Fund Administrator, our Fund was in its infancy with only about £15m assets under management. Our decision to work with (then) Legis Fund Services was almost entirely due to Patricia. Her professionalism, her interest in our business and her willingness to take a risk on a small, unproven business was very impressive. Our Fund now has close to £580m under management (and we have since launched other funds, giving a total AuM of close to £750m). The success of our business is due in no small measure to Patricia's guidance and support in all of the essential back office services. But what is unusual is Patricia's personal involvement and commitment to ensure we get the best possible service. From an outsider's perspective, it is clear that she has assembled a strong, capable team and she obviously brings out the best in them. She is not afraid of making tough decisions when necessary, but in all cases she communicates clearly with all stakeholders and brings people along with her, which I think is a key attribute of a good leader.

I have known Patricia for a significant number of years firstly as a competitor when I worked for another fund administration business here in Guernsey, since 2015 from working with Patricia and her business as a non-executive director on a number of funds administered by her team, since 2016 with her kindly being one of the founding members of the Women's Business Network I established in Guernsey in January of that year sponsoring one of our quarterly events annually. In all that time (and a principle reason for our continuing professional relationship) I have been impressed with her knowledge of the business, the way that she has created a great work environment, friendly and professional that does not forget its most important asset is its staff and in that way that she has developed a strong team in all aspects of the service they give. Patricia is extremely client focused and always willing to go that extra mile in supporting clients with their activities to ensure that the best service possible is given. Patricia has helped grow a successful fund administration business from assisting the developing of small clients of today to become the larger clients of tomorrow, but whatever size the client they are all treated equally with complete integrity and professionalism.

I first met Patricia and key members of her Vistra Team at MIPIM in Cannes in 2015. Impressive from the outset, she was the obvious contact to approach when I decided to investigate the possibility of setting up an off shore company to be registered with TISE. With over 25 years of experience in the offshore finance industry Patricia’s collegiate and inclusive management style ensures great loyalty from her excellent team. When married to her steely drive and determination its little surprise the Vistra team always get the job done. The holder of many industry accolades and most recently an award winner at the 2018 Citywealth Power Woman Awards, I cannot speak highly enough of Patricia and thoroughly recommend the services of her Vistra team as off shore fund managers to any prospective client.
