If the calculations predict that the trust's remainder interest is zero, the beneficiaries are exempt from estate tax even if the assets actually appreciate by a greater amount.
If the trust assets are invested and achieve an annual rate of return of 9% a year, the CLT's remainder will be $2.1 million.

"The problem now is rates have really risen and it's to the point where some investments clearly can outperform a 4% or 5% interest rate, but others might struggle."
In this interest rate environment, charitable remainder trusts (CRTs) have better odds.
