Questions, Answered Clearly
-
What is a trust and why establish one?
-
How does Compensation Trust act in my interest?
We are held to a fiduciary standard of care — meaning we are legally bound to act in the best interest of the trust and its beneficiaries, with segregated custody, independent oversight and transparent reporting.
-
What documents do I need to get started?
Typically a valid government-issued ID, proof of address, beneficiary details and source-of-funds documentation. Your advisor will confirm exactly what is required for your specific arrangement.
-
How are my statements and fees handled?
You receive clear, itemised statements with no hidden charges. Fees are agreed in advance and disclosed transparently, so you always know what you pay and why.
-
How long does it take to establish a trust?
Timelines depend on the structure and documentation involved. After your consultation and review, most straightforward trusts can be established efficiently, and your advisor will keep you informed at every stage.
