What are Trustees?

Trustees are individuals or institutions that hold and safeguard the assets of a unit trust scheme on behalf of investors.

They ensure the scheme operates in line with its rules and applicable regulations, while protecting investors’ interests.

Trustees also help oversee the management of the scheme and provide a mechanism for resolving disputes between investors and fund managers.
