Phillip Trustee Recognised with Two Awards at Trust Forum 2025

Phillip Trustee, a member of the Phillip Capital Group, reaffirmed its leadership in Cambodia’s fast-growing trust industry after receiving two major recognitions at the Trust Forum 2025, held under the theme “A Trusted Business Platform and Legal Compliance.”

Organised by the Trust Regulator of Cambodia (TRC) on October 31, 2025, the annual event gathered industry leaders, financial professionals, and policymakers to discuss the evolving trust landscape and compliance framework in Cambodia.

As a Diamond Sponsor, Phillip Trustee demonstrated its strong commitment to supporting the country’s trust ecosystem and promoting best practices aligned with international standards.

During the forum, the company was honoured with two prestigious awards:

• Outstanding Trust Company Operated in Real Estate Trust 2024
• Outstanding Trust Company Operated in Shareholding Trust 2024 (a newly introduced award category)

The recognitions highlight Phillip Trustee’s excellence in service delivery, innovation, and professional integrity. They also underscore the company’s close collaboration with regulators to enhance governance, transparency, and investor confidence in Cambodia’s emerging fiduciary sector.

Phillip Trustee previously earned the Outstanding Trust Service Provider Award at the Trust Forum 2024, marking a consistent record of excellence and trust leadership.
