This disclosure is prepared for the benefit of correspondent banking partners, institutional clients, counterparties, and regulatory bodies conducting due diligence on NVC Fund Holding Trust. It is intended to clearly explain the institution's legal structure, authority, and compliance framework.

What is a Sovereign Estate Trust?
NVC Fund Holding Trust operates as a sovereign estate trust — a legal structure established under private international law with financial authority derived from the documented asset holdings of the trust estate rather than from a banking charter or financial services license in the traditional regulatory sense.
This structure is analogous to certain sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and multilateral development institutions that operate under their own legal frameworks while voluntarily adopting international financial standards and best practices.
Importantly, NVC Fund Bank does not claim exemption from legal or ethical financial conduct obligations. The institution voluntarily aligns with applicable US law and international standards as detailed in this disclosure.
