Who are the trustees?

For funds with 2-4 members, all members are required to be either trustees or directors of the trustee company. No other person can be either a trustee or a director.

For single member funds, the options are:

  • The member and another person (not an employer) act as the trustees of the fund, or
  • The member is the sole director of the trustee company, or
  • The member and another person (not an employer) act as the directors of the trustee company.

A member's legal personal representative can act as trustee if the member is under a legal disability, for example being under the age of 18 years, or if the representative holds an enduring power of attorney.
