Trust Funds

A trust fund is a legal structure which holds assets on behalf of a person, a family or an organization. It is a powerful tool for asset protection, wealth preservation, succession planning and tax optimization.

The founder (person / family / organization) transfers assets (cash, property, businesses etc) into a Trust Fund, which is managed by a trustee. The trustee manages those assets for the exclusive benefit of defined beneficiaries, in strict accordance with the rules and terms laid down by the founder- whether for education, medical care, business continuity, or structured succession.
