Blind trust (also referred to in German)
A fund administered in trust. It manages the affairs of a person completely independently, i.e. without the beneficiary being involved (the beneficiary has no access to any information regarding the assets purchased and the trust is discretionarily managed by a fiduciary third party). Persons who aspire to political office or who have been elected to such office often contribute their assets to a blind trust. In this way, possible conflicts of interest (collision of interests) are to be clearly avoided.
