A Wealth of
Knowledge and Experience

The Bellerive Group spun off from the Stenham Group of companies and has expertise and track record that can be traced back to the start of the 20th Century.

Stenham was founded as a confirming house and buying agent, and gradually evolved into a trade finance, wealth management and investment business over the course of a century. The trade finance and lending division was sold to Bellerive in 2011 and forms part of the core of the Bellerive Group.
