TORONTO, Feb. 18, 2014 /CNW/ - Return On Innovation Advisors Ltd. ("ROI Capital"), announced today that a monthly cash distribution of $0.050 per unit will be paid on March 14, 2014 to unitholders of ROI Canadian Real Estate Fund (TSX: RIR.UN) of record as of February 28, 2014.
In addition, ROI Capital announced today that RIR.UN has entered into a new forward agreement with a term of at least 30 days due to the upcoming expiration of its existing forward agreement. On July 11, 2013, the Department of Finance announced a proposal to extend the transition relief period for character conversion transactions, announced in the March 2013 federal budget, to December 31, 2014. RIR.UN intends to enter into one or more forward agreements as outlined in the extension with a final valuation date of no later than December 31, 2014.
It is expected that the scheduled monthly distributions for RIR.UN will consist primarily of capital gains for taxable unitholders in 2014. Following the settlement of the final forward contract on or about December 31, 2014, future scheduled monthly distributions are expected to consist principally of ordinary income.
