Unit Trusts
A Unit Trust is a legal structure where the legal ownership of trust assets is held by a Trustee on trust for the benefit of unitholders. Unit Trusts may be established in Jersey subject to the provisions of the Trusts (Jersey) Law 1984. Under Jersey law, a Unit Trust must be constituted by a written trust instrument. The Unit Trust instrument sets out the terms on which the Trustee holds the Unit Trust assets.
