Description
Summary:An institute of a trust fund is not de lege lata in the legal conditions of the Slovak Republic regulated by law. This article focuses on the analysis of perspectives of use of the trust fund as a potential form of investment under specific legal and economic conditions of the financial market in the Slovak Republic in a context of prospected recodification of the Civil Code. The analysis is based on the comparative study of transformation of the traditional common law legal system institute of the trust fund into the legal order of the Czech Republic with particular focus on its use as a form of investment. The author identifies potentially problematic legal aspects of enactment of the pertinent institute to the legal order of the Slovak Republic and presents his views on potential of the trust fund to be used as a collective investment scheme.
