Directed Trust

What is directed trust?

A Directed Trust is a trust arrangement where specific responsibilities of the trust are allocated to different participants. It allows the settlor to appoint independent advisors or committees to manage the trust's investments or other specific matters, while a traditional trustee handles administrative management and compliance tasks.

This structure provides greater flexibility and expertise in trust management, allowing the trust to more precisely align with the settlor's intentions and specific needs of the trust.

The components of a Directed Trust

Settlor:

Responsible for the daily management and administrative duties of the trust, such as tax reporting, beneficiary notifications, compliance, and legal affairs. They do not directly involve themselves in investment decisions or the management of specific assets.

Traditional Trustee:

Appointed by the settlor, responsible for making investment decisions of trust assets or specific tasks (such as real estate management, art management, etc.).This can be an individual, a team, or a professional institution, with full autonomy to execute their responsibilities.

Independent Advisor or Committee:

Independent of the trustee, dedicated to the investment management of trust assets. Makes all strategic and tactical decisions related to the assets.

Red Bridge Directed Trust Design Steps

  • Determine investment objectives

    Venture capital typically involves investing in high-growth potential startups. Typically, the venture capital projects we select are based on our reliable resource platform, achieving established revenue targets through business transfer and grafting. In this process, we cultivate the professional skills and industry experience of trust beneficiaries. All industrial screening, inspection, and evaluation will be completed together.

    Clearly define turnover growth expectations, profit growth expectations, and acceptable risk levels. Safeguard your assets with overdraft agreements and corresponding collateral.

  • Legal document preparation

    Trust Deed: Detailed outline of the trust's structure, investment objectives, duties of trustees and investment advisors, as well as rights of beneficiaries. We have a top-notch team to complete this process for you.

    Trust Registration: Registration of the trust in Australia, potentially requiring an Australian Business Number (ABN) and tax registration. Ensure all matters are fully legal and compliant.

    Compliance and Legal Counsel

    Employ legal counsel to ensure the trust structure complies with Australian legal and tax requirements, including adherence to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and Know Your Customer (KYC) principles.

    Convert foreign currency to Australian dollars and transfer to the trust account.

    Selecting Investment Projects

    We choose high-growth potential startups or venture capital projects. As a professional venture capital platform and local startup incubator in Australia, we ensure to achieve the trust founder's objectives.

    Communication between trustee and investment advisor
