| Canadian Oil and Gas Royalty Trusts (and some former trusts - now corporations) |
| Unlike U.S. Royalty Trusts with set asset bases which do not change over the life of the trust. As such the U.S Trusts will cease to exist in the future at some point when their assets are depleted. The Canadian Trusts continue as they develop further resources or purchase assets from other companies. Listed below is our Master List of Canadian Royalty Trusts. Canadian Oil and Gas Royalty Trusts trade on the basis of income--as such it is important to check not only todays yield, but more importantly what the yield will be or is projected to be in the future. THE YIELDS SHOWN BELOW WILL CHANGE. The price of Oil and Gas drives the payouts so as oil and gas fall and rise the payouts change month to month. Most of these issues pay a monthly payout--and as such their yield can move every month. Additionally you should be aware that the Canadian Government will apply a 15% withholding tax to all payments to U.S. citizens. Depending on whether you hold the shares in a taxable or tax deferred account you may be able to apply for a refund on a portion of these withholdings. |
