Document background
The Trust Fund Agreement is a crucial document used when establishing a managed fund structure under Dutch law, typically employed when there's a need to separate the legal ownership and management of assets from their beneficial ownership. This agreement type is particularly relevant in scenarios involving wealth management, charitable foundations, or corporate fund structures. The document comprehensively details the rights and obligations of all parties involved, including settlors, trustees, and beneficiaries, while ensuring compliance with Dutch financial regulations and civil law requirements. Trust Fund Agreements must specifically address Dutch legal requirements, including the Financial Supervision Act (Wft) and Anti-Money Laundering regulations, while providing clear guidelines for fund administration, investment policies, and distribution mechanisms. The agreement serves as the foundational document governing the entire trust relationship and operation.
