Equicapita Confirms Q3 2013 Distribution in Respect of Its Preferred Trust Units

Calgary, Canada, December 01, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Equicapita Income Trust (“Equicapita”) is pleased to announce the payment of its distribution for the third quarter of 2013 in respect of its Preferred Trust Units.

Greg Tooth, a partner at Equicapita reports, "We created Equicapita to be RRSP eligible with a low minimum to allow qualified investors access to SME ("small, medium enterprise") investments that are difficult to reach through traditional channels. In addition, we believe the current mismatch between the amount of business owners seeking exits in relation to the amount of dedicated SME private equity capital will provide superior returns over the next decade while the imbalance is rectified and the demographic pressures begin to ease. Our strategy is to avoid the typical private equity focus on growth to generate returns. We acquire stable businesses that are able to generate reliable cash flow that can in turn provide for reliable distributions to our investors. Our current distribution is 10% per annum paid quarterly. Without the need for strong business growth and high valuation exits to generate returns, we believe our investment model is less risky than traditional private equity approaches.”

About Equicapita: Equicapita is a Calgary-based buy-out fund focusing on acquiring Canadian private businesses that can generate strong, sustainable cash flow from their operations in niche markets.
