Trend of public confidence in the US
Our solution: a trust
Alhoewel die wettige bankwaarborge 'n soort vangnet bied, they are unfunded in case of a systemic crisis6.
The trust is a wonderful invention that gives a legal structure for:
- fast set-up: usually in 2 business days
- flexibility: you can make up any possible rules of management, settlement, investment, events, etc…
Which jurisdiction?
The choice of the jurisdiction will be done by the Trustee(s) which we provide.
Our fees
See the Gelde page.
