Portfolio Management:
Dime is focused on your long-term success and works with a select list of established investment managers to oversee your portfolio and ensure the proper research and analysis has gone into every position held in your account. In compliance with your IPS and other required guidelines, your accounts are actively monitored on an ongoing basis.
Fiduciary Services
Dime Bank is unique among community banks in the region in offering a full suite of fiduciary services to our clients and their families. We differentiate ourselves from the large banks by assessing each individual’s and family’s needs regardless of an existing relationship with Dime and without requiring multi-million dollar minimum deposits. These services come in four primary categories:
Estate Settlement:
Dime Bank accepts appointments as the personal representative of our clients’ estate upon their passing and ensures appropriate administration through both probate and non-probate processes.
Trust Administration:
Dime Bank can serve as Trustee, Co-Trustee, and Successor Trustee on client trusts. We will ensure compliance with legal and tax requirements and provide prudent asset management for trusts of many kinds, including but not limited to:
• Marital Trusts
• Asset Protection Trusts
• Directed Trusts
• Special or Supplemental Needs Trusts
• Testamentary Trusts
• Life Insurance Trusts
• Charitable Trusts and Foundations
• Grantor Trusts
• Corporate Trusts
Financial Power of Attorney:
Dime Bank may act under these legal documents to manage household finances, effectuate certain transactions, and engage in financial stewardship when our clients are no longer willing or able to do so on their own.
Agent for Fiduciary:
Because we are equipped to serve as a fiduciary in our own right, we can support estate and trust administrators, conservators, guardians, and financial agents in their duties of appropriate record-keeping and reporting, prudent asset management, and tax compliance.
