Overview
Unit Trusts differ from Family Trusts in that the beneficiaries are defined via ownership of Units in the Trust rather than by family relationships. These Units are much the same in concept to Company Shares and represent a direct portion of the value of the Assets held by the Trust.
A Unit Trust is often used for business arrangements where, for example, a group of people or entities are investing in a large asset (or assets) and want to apportion the value and income from these assets across the group. Units can be transferred between individuals (at an agreed value) and new units issued where the required proportion of Unit Holders approve.
