Independent Timely Rigorous

Independent
Analysis of each trust is based on a well defined “list of criteria” that has been developed and tested specifically for Canadian income trusts. IncomeTrustResearch.com receives no compensation or benefits from any source other than user subscription fees and serves only financial professionals and their interests.

Timely
Information is updated on a "real time" basis. Earnings releases, new issues, acquisitions, dispositions, and mergers are reviewed and comments are promptly posted to the website. Each trust is assigned a “ratings opinion” on a scale of five different clearly defined categories. Users receive regular reports updating “ratings opinions” to assist with buy, sell and hold decisions. Users can easily create these same custom reports from the website, and the reports are easily emailed direct to clients. Changes to ratings opinions, as they occur, are clearly displayed on the front page of the website.

Rigorous
Audit-quality means, critically monitoring information from ratings services, government regulatory filings, financial statements, applicable websites and presentations, discussions with key company officials, other research providers, and the news media, on a continual basis.

If users want to look behind the “ratings opinions” they can sort by any of 6 financial ratios, by yield, and by the return of capital portion of distributions. Our supporting database of financial information consists of 22 data points for each trust, which are updated at least quarterly. Each previous quarters data is retained in our database and is available on request. As a subscriber you can just use the “ratings opinions” or you can use our extensive database and sorting capabilities to do your own detailed analysis and custom reports. Whatever suits your needs.
