The principal purpose of the Association (TACT) is to represent the interests of its membership which comprises nearly all of the leading corporate trustees who operate in the U.K.

TACT is directed by its Council, which consists of the President, Vice President, the Chairman of each of its operating Committees and others nominated by the membership.

It carries on the bulk of its work through its operating committees.  These Committees gather together the practitioners in each of the major markets for corporate trustees so that their different characteristics can be recognised and the interests of their trustees and trusts can be represented.

The aggregate value of all the financial arrangements which are in the care of the Association`s members is well in excess of £1 trillion.
