Royalty Income Trust
(redirected from Royalty Income Trusts)

    0.01 sec.
Royalty Income Trust
A unit investment trust in which the trustee buys the rights to income from a natural resource, such as oil or real estate, and distributes the profit to beneficiaries. A company, such as an oil company, may sell the right to income from an oil well to a royalty income trust because it usually pays more than other ways of raising capital. Likewise, an investor may be interested in buying into such a trust because yields are often higher than stocks or bonds. For example, an oil company may sell oil wells to a royalty income trust instead of issuing stock or a bond in order to raise capital to increase its capacity for pumping oil out of the ground.
