Understanding trusts and trustee investment duties (60 minutes)

60 minute CPD

With more and more people using trusts for lifetime gifting or creating a trust in their will, advising trustees is a key area of financial planning.  There may be some similarities with advising individuals but giving advice to trustees is a very different animal. 

This session should help you gain a better understanding of:

  • How to identify different types of trust and trustee investment powers
  • Trustees investment responsibilities
  • The income tax and Capital Gains treatment of trusts
  • Suitability issues when matching investments to different trusts
  • Trustee considerations with regard to ESG and multi asset funds.
