South Dakota is preferable to other locations for locating a trust.

• A trust can be treated as a South Dakota trust by having a South Dakota trustee.
• North Point is a South Dakota trust company that serves as trustee for numerous trusts.
• North Point is preferred as a trust company because of:
  • The expertise, experience, and character of its people;
  • Its fees which are based not on a percent of trust assets but on its activities as trustee;
  • Its independence from any investment firm or bank;
  • North Point’s strong preference that the trust’s creator, his or her family, or the creator’s investment advisor makes the trust’s investment decisions;
  • The cash or other investments of a trust are not commingled or combined with the assets of other trusts for which North Point serves as trustee.
