Trustee Investment Powers

"The law relating to trustee investment was fundamentally altered by the introduction of the Trustee Act 2000. Solicitors, accountants, bankers and other persons acting as trustees are subject to amended statutory duties including the new statutory duty of care. The new regime provides trustees with new powers but imposes a raft of new obligations on them in order to safeguard the interest of beneficiaries. This title concentrates on the powers and duties of trustees in relation to the investment of trust funds. It provides a concise guide to the considerations that a trustee should bear in mind and examines the Act against the background of the old case law that is still relevant and applicable."
