What is a trust?
A trust is a legal arrangement in which a person (the Settlor) transfers ownership of assets to a trustee, who manages those assets according to the terms of the trust deed for the benefit of designated beneficiaries. This structure separates legal and beneficial ownership, creating powerful opportunities for estate planning, asset protection and long-term wealth management. Trusts are widely used for family and commercial purposes, including:
- Preserving family wealth across generations
- Enhancing protection against political, economic or jurisdictional risk
- Ensuring continuity of family businesses and property
- Holding foreign investments, intellectual property, insurance policies and other assets
- Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial arrangements, and divorce settlements
- Protecting assets from dissipation by less-responsible family members
- Providing for spouses, children, future generations or charities
- Consolidating family interests in a single estate-planning structure
- Facilitating international diversification by transferring assets to a stable jurisdiction
Corporations also make extensive use of trusts, particularly for:
- Securitisation transactions
- Employee benefit and pension arrangements
- Charitable structures
- Acting as escrow agents in corporate transactions
