An income trust is an investment trust that holds income- producing assets. The income is passed on to the investors, called "unit-holders", through monthly
quarterly distributions. A Public income trust’s shares or "trust units" are traded on securities exchanges just like stocks. A Private income trust unit is NOT traded on securities exchanges and is NOT treated like a corporation for Tax purposes.
