High Yield Canadian Income Trusts

Canada has huge reserves of natural gas and oil, vast amounts of timber and rich deposits of industrial and precious metals. Demand from fast-growing emerging markets has pushed the prices of many commodities higher. Rising oil prices have boosted profits and cash flows for the country's many oil producers.

Many Canadian companies are organized as income trusts. Under the present law, they avoid corporate taxation provided they pass their profit directly to shareholders. As a result, the trusts are incentivized to pay out large distributions. Pending Canadian Tax Law changes reduce some preferential tax treatment of Income Trusts effective 2011.

High Yield Canadian Income Trusts may be an ideal investment for the investor who seeks:

  • High current yield
  • A play on escalating inflation
  • An investment in natural resources including Oil & Gas
  • An investment denominated in Canadian dollars as a play on a weak U.S. dollar.

Investors in high-yield products should keep in mind that there is no such thing as a free lunch. The price of receiving above-average income potential is above-average risk of substantial price declines. Even though returns on high-yield securities historically have compensated the investor for the additional risk, there is no guarantee this will be true in the future.
