English term or phrase: Trust fund
Bonjour,

Je cherche à traduire "Trust fund", mais dans le contexte suivant : "I know you don’t expect me to be much more than some loser addict with a trust fund.", je pensais à compte bloqué, mais je ne suis pas certaine que ce soit le meilleur choix possible.

Merci de votre aide

disagree  Daryo: these are NOT "invested funds", these are simply funds put in "trust" for future use by the beneficiary = a lot of money given to this "loser addict" by his/her family through a trust // Real World Web analogue version 1.0 not good enough as source?

  -> Which information allows you to come down one way or another? Moreover, do you know of any trust fund that is not invested (placement)?

disagree  AllegroTrans: it may well amount to an investment, but this isn't the correct translation
13 hrs

disagree  Germaine: Vous arrive-t-il de lire la question et le contexte? Fonds de placement traduit Investment Fund. Trust fund = fonds fiduciaire/en fiducie dans ts les dictionnaires.

some loser addict with a trust fund
une espèce de droguée incorrigible soutenue par une famille riche


Explanation:
"I know you don’t expect me to be much more than some loser addict with a trust fund."
" ... rien de plus q'une espèce de droguée incorrigible soutenue par une famille riche."

the real problem is that AFAIK this kind of family "trust fund" is not much used in France, so although "une fiducie" is technically the correct translation, it might not ring any bell for most French readers
