[Tex/LaTex] tikz nodes inside node

nodestikz-pgf

I'm not sure how to position the three nodes inside the other "trustee characteristics". Have tried rectangle, however I guess this is not the right approach. Also the arrow should end/begin at the outside of the "outer node". The entire figure is out of center and two wide. How can I get it centered properly?

this it what it looks like

it should more look like this
