Unit Trust Deed

This is a flexible Unit Trust Deed suitable for many commercial ventures where the units are generally held by the trustee of each investor’s Family Discretionary Trust.  The Unit Trust created by the precedent includes a deed between a trustee and the “initial unit holder” who contributes an amount of money which establishes the trust and creates units held by the initial unit holder.  Units can be issued to the other investors.

A unit trust (definition) is a portfolio of stocks, bonds, property, cash or other asset classes, chosen by professional fund managers according to themes and styles of investing.  A unit trust is an unincorporated mutual fund structure that allows funds to hold assets and provide profits that go straight to individual unit owners instead of reinvesting them back into the fund.

A Unit Trust Deed is between Unit Holders in a Unit Trust. Where a Unit Trust is used, it is normally accompanied by a Unit Holder’s Agreement.
