As winter wraps its chilly embrace around us, our colleagues have been getting into the spirit of the season by wearing festive jumpers/sweaters over the past few weeks. ☃️ Our recent charity efforts have brought warmth to both our offices and the communities we support. 🫶 Some of our contributions this holiday season: 💰 Over £8K donated to Amber Womens Refuge, Sophie's Legacy, Tree of Joy, Motiv8, and Heights Philadelphia, with Aztec matching many donations. 🎁 13 boxes collected in Luxembourg for “Christmas in a Shoebox 2024” which provides essentials to children in Ukraine and Eastern Europe. 🥫 30+ boxes of food collected in Jersey for Grace Trust Jersey. We are also thrilled to announce Aztec's donation of 500 school bag kits to Save the Children International. These kits provide essential supplies to children in need, supporting their education and brighter futures. As we celebrate #UglySweaterDay, we are reminded that our greatest joy comes from making a difference in the lives of others. Thank you to all our colleagues and supporters for your incredible generosity and spirit of giving this winter season. #AztecGivesBack #WinterOfWonders 

A decade of excellence! This year, we are celebrating a fantastic milestone for #DepositaryServices here at Aztec: the 10th anniversary of our beginning to offer depositary services to our clients in the UK and Luxembourg. Since its inception in 2014, we have grown from a small team serving a handful of clients to becoming a trusted partner for over 120 promoters and 500 funds and managing over 300 billion EUR in fund commitments. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our clients whose trust and partnership have been integral to our achievements. Our remarkable growth would not have been possible without the unwavering commitment and hard work of all our teams across the business. We are deeply grateful for their contributions to our success. And more to come in the new year, including expanding our new Irish depositary business. We're looking forward to another decade (and beyond!) of working in partnership with our clients towards our shared success. Learn more: https://aztec.group/
