The most common kind of trust asset used to hold family assets and manage family businesses will be set up so that the trustee can decide how much money the beneficiaries will receive from the trust company within the parameters of the trust contract. A hybrid trust fund can be used to align the property of a person who borrows or buys shares of the trust fund in such a way that they can be used to purchase trust securities, but the property is no longer aligned with the trust fund and can be repurchased with borrowed trust money. These types of trusts are units that are listed on a stock exchange and are held by 50 or more people.


The Trustee shall determine the proportion of the income and assets of the Trust Fund to be distributed. The Trustee has the power to distribute the income and capital of the Trustees to the nominated beneficiaries through discretionary trust funds. The trustee, the person who established the trust fund, has discretionary power over the trust deed and may be removed or replaced by the trustee.


The crucial difference between discretionary trust funds and unit funds is that each person knows that the trustee chooses which beneficiaries will receive the distribution and how much each beneficiary will receive. In the case of discretionary trust funds, the trustee may choose to distribute profits from the fixed income trust to beneficiaries who have a fixed entitlement to income and assets of the trust fund. A trust fund is more tax-efficient when it distributes income to beneficiaries.


The trustee or fund manager is appointed custodian of the Foundation’s assets. Individual trustees or shareholders (most advisers prefer trustees) of the shareholder, shareholders, and directors of the company are the beneficiaries of the trust fund. Trustees of discretionary trusts are able to distribute income and capital gains as they wish to beneficiaries which are the most effective for tax purposes.


Unit Trusts are managed by a Unit Trust Trustee who in practice nominates an investment manager to provide investment management services relating to the Unit Trust. The fund manager appoints a trustee to manage the assets of investment funds. Trustees pay tax on trust income at the higher marginal tax rate.


For example, if your business goes under and the value of the asset goes up, the unit owner can sell it for $500. If the unit’s CGT purpose is to be a CGT asset, the unit can only be sold as a unit when it contains relevant CGT assets that represent the interest of all unit owners in the underlying property or the unit of the trust fund.


Unit Trusts Funds Australia, also known as fixed trusts, differs from family trusts in that the trustee has no discretion in distributing assets to beneficiaries. The assets of a shareholder are held by the trustee of the Trust Fund and shareholders are entitled to capital proportionate to the number of shares they own. In an ordinary unit fund, the beneficiary shareholder is entitled to the income or capital of the unit fund (proportional to the number of units held).
