Family Trust
Investing Strategy
My wife (30) and I (32) are investing in ETFs through individual accounts for long-term wealth creation, but I'm thinking of setting up a family trust. Currently, I'm in a high-income bracket, and my wife is in a low one. My main motive is to protect our assets and pass them on to our children. I also want my children to start investing in the same family trust when they begin earning. I will be investing heavily over the next 15 years. Could you please guide me on whether it's a good idea to set up a trust or continue through individual accounts? Regards Nick

Hi Kashish,
Given your main motivation is asset protection and estate planning, there’s a big income variation between spouses, and you’re thinking of having your kids involved, it probably does make sense to look at setting up a trust.
It’s not something I have knowledge on – I’d just encourage you to speak with a couple of different people to nail down what the right setup will be for your situation.
All the best.
