Description
There are tax and other benefits to holding a closely-held company or other business interests in a trust. But there are also substantial risks.
Trusts are typically required to diversify their holdings. But when a company is held in a trust there is almost a highly concentrated, and thus risky, position. Similarly, holding real estate or nontraditional assets also involves issues of liquidity and proper fiduciary and income tax administration.
