- Ultimate beneficiaries – those parties with an ultimate vested interest in the assets of the trust (e.g. any individuals or regulated/listed entities sitting above direct beneficiaries who are private companies, trusts, etc).
- Ultimate controllers – those parties exercising ultimate control over the trust (e.g. individual directors of a trustee which is a private company).
