Real Estate Investment Trust - REIT
Real Estate Investment Trust, or REIT, is an investment fund which provides an opportunity for individual and institutional investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of Properties in Canada and participate in the profits derived from them.
A REIT will invest in apartments, retail shopping centers and commercial office buildings. Like other companies, a REIT often trades on a major stock exchange. The pooled capital of many investors is used to buy assets under the REIT. In turn, the REIT earns profits for its shareholders through rents and capital gains. Certain tax advantages are offered to a REIT, dictated by applicable federal and state laws and procedures. For example, a REIT may bypass corporate income tax if it distributes at least 95% of its taxable income to shareholders annually. A REIT is usually managed by one or more trustees, who hold the title to the assets of the REIT and direct future investments.
Our REIT’s are run by an experienced management team and has an independently controlled board of trustees to provide independent oversight on behalf of all investors. REIT units are sold by Offering Memorandum to qualified investors only. Investors may purchase units in the fund directly through IPD. |

Why invest in Canada ? |
|
Investing for the long term means that one must examine where one is investing as much as what one is investing in. Canada shines strongly as a destination for investment. For example:
• Canadian banks are among the strongest in the world and are still lending, leading to greater stability for the economy and investors
• Canada has large reserves of oil and other natural resources, which will benefit Canada when inflation returns and when the world again turns its attention to the key long term shortages of non renewable natural resources that the world needs
• Canada has a fiscally responsible government that has (except in the current environment) allowed it to run current account, trade and budget surpluses and pay down national debt
• Canada is a politically stable democracy with strong regulations and the observance of legal process. As Canadians, we tend to take this for granted but these qualities are quite rare in a global context. Investors in emerging market nations take considerable risks when investing that go beyond just economic and market risks
