John, it depends on what sort of trust.
Family/Discretionary trusts cannot distribute losses. HDTs can if they have issued units, but not if they are acting as discretionaries.
Unit trusts can distribute losses, although I think technically you borrow the money to buy the units – or some such. Check that out with your accountant.
Cheers
