Trust-Escrowed: the structure that protects your capital
Every operation we structure is backed by a trust that separates the collateral and places it under an independent trustee.
Why we build on trusts
A guarantee trust (fideicomiso de garantía) transfers the assets that secure an operation to a regulated trustee. While the trust is in force, those assets are separated from the debtor's estate and can only be used according to written rules.
For investors and lenders this means clarity and protection: if the obligation is met, the assets return; if not, the trustee follows the agreed procedure to pay the beneficiaries.
How a Trust-Escrowed operation is structured
Trust agreement
The trust is created before a notary, naming the trustee, the settlor and the beneficiaries.
Administration
The independent trustee holds title and follows the instructions agreed by the parties.
Release or execution
Once the operation is fulfilled the assets are released; otherwise the agreed execution procedure applies.
