Letter of Wishes – Lifestyle Edition

Non-Binding Guidance to the Trustee

This Letter of Wishes is provided by the Settlor as non-binding guidance to assist the Trustee in understanding the values, intentions, and general expectations underlying the establishment of the Trust. It does not create legal rights, obligations, or enforceable interests.

1. General Philosophy

The Settlor’s overarching intention is that the Trust be administered with a long-term perspective, combining prudence, discretion, and professional judgment, while allowing beneficiaries to enjoy a stable, dignified, and coherent lifestyle consistent with their historical standard of living.

2. Lifestyle Continuity

The Trustee is encouraged to consider distributions that allow the principal beneficiary to maintain an established lifestyle, including but not limited to:

3. Income and Capital Considerations

While no beneficiary is intended to have any fixed entitlement, the Settlor expresses the wish that income and, where appropriate, capital distributions may be considered to support meaningful life projects, significant personal milestones, or strategic opportunities, provided such distributions remain compatible with the Trust’s long-term purpose.

4. Independence of the Trustee

The Settlor explicitly recognizes and respects the full fiduciary independence of the Trustee. Decisions relating to distributions, investments, and administration shall be made exclusively by the Trustee in accordance with the Trust Deed and applicable law.

5. Role of the Protector

The Settlor envisages the Protector as a safeguard of structural integrity rather than a participant in daily administration. The Protector’s role is to ensure that the Trust remains aligned with its foundational purpose and protected against governance drift.

6. Adaptability Over Time

Circumstances, regulations, and personal situations evolve. The Settlor therefore wishes the Trustee to interpret this Letter with flexibility and contextual intelligence, adapting its application to future realities while preserving the Trust’s core principles.
