Creating
a Trust funds
If you’ve ever wondered
how generational wealth has been passed through generations such as the famous
Rockefeller famil
find y, and why some couldn’t retain the wealth after the second
generation. Trust fund is a way to retain generational wealth, and here is a
lesson about trust funds — A trust fund is any fund including assets/wealth
belonging to a trust, and held by a trustee for a beneficiary. Wealthy families
such as the Rockefeller family uses trust funds and sort to distribute wealth
through generations.
You will ask, how does a
trust fund work? S
house imple! There is always a three-party involved in setting a
trust fund.
1. The grantor: This is the individual who created
the trust fund, with a purpose and donates property/wealth to the fund. This
individual is a
business
lso the sole decision-maker upon which how it must be managed.
2. The beneficiary: This is the person for whom the
trust fund was established. It is intended that the assets in the trust, though
may not necessarily belong to the beneficiary, but will be managed in a way
that will benefit the beneficiary, as per the instructions and rules laid out
by the grantor when the trust fund was created.
3. And there is the trustee. You would ask, who is
a Trustee? A trustee is basically any legal institution or individual that has
been assigned by the grantor to keep properties/wealth(s) for the benefit of
another person, group/family, or organization known as the beneficiary.
But this is not about
who a Trustee is, rather this is about how Fundall uses the Trustees to watch over
your money and how to set your beneficiaries on the Fundall app.
These Trustees serve as
a wealth guard for your monies to prevent it from being mismanaged or stolen.
Fundall as an investment platform is registered with Emerging Africa Capital
Trustees, they watch your monies saved on Fundall and they also serve as your
fall-back-to in case of any issues.
7 out of 10 people take
the word “next of kin” wrongly for the word “beneficiary”. There are
differences between the beneficiary and the next of kin — A next of kin is
usually a close relative of the grantor who is set to be the guy to be reached
in case of any issues, the next of kin has no rights over anything owned by the
grantor. While the beneficiary may not be the first to be contacted during these
issues but the one entitled to the wealth of the grantor as per the grantor’s
instructions.
