A few close friends and myself want to set an investment vehicle(a trust?)..for growth the growth of personal ets.Does anyone have any info on how to,or where to search to accomplish this?The trust would pool our moneys for an investment firm to invest as they see fit,but the account would be on our trust name.I'm confussed about on how to define it,sence we would all pay taxes on the capitol gains.I would be in charge of the trust and how the money is invested.How would I explain this to the I.R.S.?
