An income trust is an exchange traded equity-type investment that is similar to common stock. By owning securities or assets of an underlying business (or businesses), an income trust is structured to distribute cash flows from those businesses to unitholders in a tax efficient manner. Because of the focus on distributions, income trusts are usually based on mature businesses with steady cash flows.

There are several different types of Canadian income trusts, which can be classified depending on the sector of the underlying business or the investment objectives.
