Trust basics
What is a trust?
A trust involves three parties: the settlor transfers assets to the trustee, who holds and manages them for the beneficiaries. The assets are legally in the trustee's name but must be used as the trust terms direct.

For companies
An employee share incentive plan lets senior management and key staff hold shares or options in the company and share in its growth, helping to attract, retain and motivate talent. As trustee, we hold and administer the plan shares so that the plan runs independently, transparently and in line with the applicable rules.
A trust holds the plan shares, keeping them separate from the assets of the company and of individuals.
Day-to-day handling of grants, vesting, exercises and share transfers under the plan rules.
Working with the company and its advisers on the trust structure and the running of the plan.
For individuals and families
A trust under common law separates the legal ownership of assets from their beneficial interest. The settlor transfers assets to the trustee, who manages and distributes them for the beneficiaries under the trust deed, to support succession, asset protection and privacy.
The settlor keeps specified investment or management powers.
Life insurance policies held in trust, with the proceeds distributed as intended.
Set up under a will to provide for family members after death.
Assets held and applied for charitable purposes, carrying on a family's philanthropy.

Corporate
An independent trustee holding the plan shares keeps the plan's assets apart from the company's day-to-day business, and applies the plan rules to joiners, leavers, vesting and exercises, reducing disputes.
Family
Family trusts are often used to pass wealth across generations, provide for minors or family members with special needs, hold family assets under one structure, and carry on the settlor's wishes after their death.
