Hybrid Unit Trust combines the features of both a Discretionary Trust and a Unit Trust and as such Ordinary Units and Special Units can be issued. The holders of Ordinary Units in the Trust have the greatest power and entitlements.Ordinary Unit Holders are entitled to a share of the income not accumulated or otherwise distributed by the Trustee each year in proportion to their respective holdings. They are also entitled to a share of the capital of the Trust. Furthermore, Ordinary Unit Holders have voting rights, which is important as their consent is often required before the Trustee can exercise its discretion under the Trust. For example, the Trustee may only issue Special Units with the unanimous consent of the Ordinary Unit Holders. The value of the Ordinary Units may be equal to the amount which you paid when you subscribed to the Units or an amount agreed between the Unit Holder and the Trustee.
The holders of Special Units do not have any entitlement to the capital of the Trust and do not have a fixed entitlement to the income, but may receive a distribution at the Trustee’s discretion. The value of each Special Unit is fixed at $1.00.
(These are not Subscribers and they are not required to pay any monies)
At least 0 special unit holders required.
