What should I know about income trusts?
If income trusts are a bit of a mystery to you, but you want to invest because you have heard great things about them, then at the very least know these three facts:
- Income trusts are not fixed income investments.
- High yields are not always a good thing.
- You may already own income trusts through your other investments.
Understanding these facts can help you identify some of the risks of investing in income trusts. Knowing the risks of an investment before investing is one of the key elements to making an informed investment decision.
