Income trusts:
Are they a good safe investment for you?
Looking for a source of investment income?
Income trusts can seem ideal because they distribute cash flow to shareholders. But this leaves them vulnerable to panic selling when business weakens and they have to slash their cash distributions. Plus, since new tax laws make income trusts subject to full corporate income taxes in 2011, many will have far less income to distribute in years to come.
However, risk varies greatly from sector to sector—and we do recommend a few income trusts as part of our Successful Investor Portfolios. In fact, our recent income trust recommendations have averaged a 500% return!
But before investing in any income trust, I recommend you read my Special Report, Income Trusts: How to Spot the Winners (a $29.95 value). In it, you’ll discover the 6 key factors that are essential to be in place before I recommend any income trust.
