Canadian Capitalist

Rob Carrick, personal finance columnist for The Globe and Mail hunts for bargains in the red-hot income trust sector. He mentions five names:

1. Acclaim Energy Trust (TSX: AE.un)
2. Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund (TSX: CHE.un)
3. Clean Power Income Fund (TSX: CLE.un)
4. Royal Host REIT (TSX: RYL.un)
5. Viking Energy Royalty Trust (TSX: VKR.un)

With the exception of Royal Host (which yields around 6%), the other income trusts yield between 11-13%. In my opinion, these high yields are indicative of the risks involved in these securities. At a time when most investors are chasing income investments, large-cap growth equities seem to offer the best value.
