Whats the difference between a fixed trust, a discretionary trust and a hybrid trust?
A fixed trust is one where the beneficiaries (the people who are the ultimate owners of the capital of the trust) each have a fixed share or interest in the trust capital and income. A discretionary trust is one in which there is a class of beneficiaries (e.g., an individual and defined relatives of the individual) but none of them has any right to any part of the trust capital or income until the trustee declares one in favour of particular beneficiaries. A hybrid trust combines features of both a fixed trust and a discretionary trust. There are many variations of each type of trust.
