Income Trusts

Income trusts are investments that hold income-producing assets. Their units trade on stock exchanges, but they flow much of their income through to unitholders as “distributions.” This means many trusts pay little or no tax, though the Canadian government plans to begin taxing trust distributions in 2011. Investing in trusts can be risky, as the businesses that underpin them may have steady cash flow, but could stagnate as the economy changes. Pat McKeough believes investors should look for trusts with low capital expenditures and mature businesses.
