• National funds legislation: Unit Trusts Act 1990, Part XIII, Companies Act 1990 and others;

The role of the trustee is a central bulwark in the protection of investors’ interests. The trustee is responsible for monitoring the performance of all the other parties involved with the fund. Aggrieved investors have become increasingly prepared to sue trustees (and other parties associated with funds) to recover losses incurred. It is more important than ever to be aware of the extent of imposed obligations and how to demonstrate that they are being properly carried out.
