About Income Generators
Income Generators (Tier 3) are specialized pass-through entities designed to distribute cash. This category includes Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Business Development Companies (BDCs).
The 90% Payout Rule
By law, REITs and BDCs must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders to avoid corporate income tax. This structural mandate results in naturally higher yields (typically 5-10%), but leaves less capital retained for growth.
- Real Assets: Exposure to physical real estate (O, WPC) or middle-market loans (ARCC, MAIN).
- moderate Risk: More sensitive to interest rate changes than broad market indices.
- Income Focus: Ideal for investors needing higher current income without resorting to derivatives.
