Banks vs. Nonbanks in US: Disintermediation
9-2
Trust Services• A trust institution: a legal entity that can hold and manage assets for one or more
beneficiaries over time– Grantor is the creator of the trust– Trustee is the manager of the trust– Beneficiaries receive the benefits of the trust
• Business trusts historically were formed among firms in the same industry to avoid competition and gain monopoly power
– The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 in US and other legislation struck down such anti-competitive behavior
– Today holding companies (ownership of affiliated firms) and consortiums (association or partnership of financial institutions but no cross ownership) have replaced trusts as a common form of business organisation
• Trust institutions now handle employee benefit programmes, personal trusts and estates, and corporate trusts
– Real estate investment trusts (REITs) is a trust that purchases real estate and offers shares of ownership to investors
– Trust companies can be within or outside a bank for purposes of estate planning to distribute assets of an individual after death and reduce taxes for beneficiaries: US federal estate tax rates range from 37% to 55%!
