Our Perspective
The Foundation of Van Liew Trust Company
Founded in 1984, Alfred B. Van Liew formed an independent, employee-owned, investment advisory firm defined by personal service, thoughtful stewardship, and an unwavering commitment to clients’ long-term interests. In response to a growing need for trust services delivered by a corporate trustee free from conflicts of interest, the firm’s founding partners established Van Liew Trust and, in 1987, secured a bank charter for Van Liew Trust Company.
Since then, Van Liew has remained intentionally focused on individual, family, and corporate fiduciary services, avoiding the competing incentives often associated with traditional banking and product-driven financial models. That independence continues to shape the way we serve—offering investment and trust counsel marked by care, discretion, and alignment with each client’s goals.
