​

Investment Trust

​

Through an Investment Trust, the Trust Company receives from one or more settlors and registers as autonomous patrimony, either money, securities and/or any other productive, present and/or future assets, with the instruction to manage them according to well-defined investment policies, to obtain certain returns, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement.

​

The trust is not an exclusive instrument for individuals or businesses with large capital, it also has application in transactions as simple as an asset sale, where the trust company acts as an intermediary for the formalization and transfer of the asset and the sale price.

​

Development and Real Estate Investment Trust

​

It pursues the development of real estate projects through the integration of the participants (land owners, developers, builders, architects, real estate companies, etc.), providing security and confidence through the prior definition of the conditions related to construction, administration, the way in which investors will participate in the trust, their rights and obligations and the destination of the resulting assets, once their purpose has been fulfilled.

​

Thanks to this figure, the project acquires added value, since it offers protection to buyers in relation to the administration of assets and flows, thanks to the creation of an autonomous patrimony, separated from the patrimony of all the parties involved, which makes it attractive for the purpose of obtaining bank financing.
