A trust fund manager protects the financial goals of companies and individuals, managing assets and making decisions for the benefit of named beneficiaries. They may also be responsible for succession planning and ensuring financial obligations are met.
A trust fund manager is responsible for protecting the financial goals of companies and individual clients. For wealthy individual clients, this may involve transferring assets, such as real estate, to other family members and trying to avoid conflicts as the financial succession unfolds. The superintendent of a trust company can manage retirement portfolios, including retirement funds, for selected employees. A trust fund manager can also help a company plan for a successor in case the current head of a company retires.
Even if a trust fund manager does not own the assets that this professional oversees, he or she has the legal authority to make decisions and changes regarding the financial security of the named beneficiaries in the trust. Part of a trustee’s scope of responsibility is to use all of the fund’s assets, including real estate, equity investments and businesses, from an individual pool and apply these items in the manner that yields the greatest possible benefit. Wealth managers generally perform trust fund manager functions on behalf of granter clients.
Some of a trust fund manager’s tasks are more logistical. For example, this professional may be responsible for ensuring that certain financial obligations of the grantor are met on an ongoing basis. A trust manager can also organize and file annual tax documents on behalf of the beneficiary.
The manager should protect trust assets against loss and excessive taxation whenever possible. Also, in addition to protecting financial assets, the trust manager organizes these items so that any revenue streams such as rental income for example are optimized. Trusts are complex arrangements that do not reward the beneficiary until a designated event. In the event that a fund allows certain amounts to be released in advance to a beneficiary for specific purposes, such as funding a child’s education, it becomes the manager’s responsibility to distribute these monies at the appropriate times.
Succession planning can be a vital component of the future of a business once an index is no longer available to run operations. A trust fund manager for a corporate entity may be involved in the search process to identify the next scheme in a business management structure, whether a successor is already part of an organization or someone new to the business. In the event that the trust requires that a company be dissolved, rather than include a successor, the trustee of the trust fund may oversee the sale and subsequent distribution of assets related to the dissolution of that entity.
