English term or phrase: "vest/cash", I don't understand the meaning of the words "to vest" and "cash"

Selected answer:"to vest" is no mistake
Explanation:
To vest - 1. to confer ownership of (property) upon a person.
2. To invest (a person) with the full title to the property.
3. To give (a person) an immediate, fixed right of present or future enjoyment.

We're talking about creating Trust here, and therefore, it's legitimate to imply that those investments/cash are being placed in a Trust (which means that the person placing the investments there forfeits the title to them), so "to vest" is a correct word here.

One of the definitions of \"a trust\" is:

a property interest held by one person (the Trustee) at the request of another (the Settlor) for the benefit of a third party (the beneficiary). In this situation the titles to everything in the Trust are VESTED with the Trustee.

the right to make decision over investments, even sell them


Explanation:
that's my understanding: to vest means someone is entitled to make, transfer, change investments in a market, even to "cash" them which means to obviously sell them...

Explanation:
I suspect <vest> is a typo and should be <invest>... <vest> is generally to acquire full rights, which would not apply in your context.

Cash is straightforward as used in your context - liquid funds.

So you have:

to place [or invest] any of the aforementioned investments or cash in the Market....

agree  Roberta Anderson: maybe a misuse of the term? vest is commonly used to mean that the time has come to be able to sell and use the money as you like; how about: "to use the profits from investments or cash in the market or in a nominee of the trustee"?

agree  claudia bagnardi: correct... are vested IN the trustee
3 hrs
  -> Thank you.
neutral  Roberta Anderson: but the sentence here reads: "...to vest investments and cash in the market or in a nominee of the trustee"...
10 hrs
  -> Investments/cash are first coming (title vested in/conferred onto) the Trust, and then the Trustee makes the decision to further place them into the particular market or confer them upon a Nominee of the Trustee.
