UST Funds

The United Services Trustee - Charitable Funds

The United Services Trustee (UST) was founded at the end of the First World War as the custodian trustee of charitable funds belonging to the UK Armed Forces. Whilst that custodian role has now ceased, the UST continues to provide service charities with a way of investing their assets.

In 1960 and 1986 respectively, the UST Combined Charitable Capital and Combined Charitable Income Funds were established as charities and in 1989, under Charity Commission Schemes, they became Common Investment Funds, exclusively for Service Charities.

Collins Stewart was appointed in 2006 and provides the UST Clients with a comprehensive investment and cash management service.
