Puts one’s confidence in (6)

I believe the answer is:

trusts

(Other definitions for trusts that I've seen before include "Reposes confidence in" , "Credits; monopolies" , "Regards as reliable" , "Has faith in or hopes earnestly" , "Confidently expects" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
