 We should note that the six Canadian-listed securities pay distributions in Canadian dollars. For example, funeral home owner Keystone North America (KNA.UN/KNAJF) pays a monthly distribution of $0.38 per security in Canadian dollars. That translates to about $0.31 in U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. If the Canadian dollar continues moving higher as the U.S. dollar weakens, the value of the distribution for U.S. investors will increase. We should note that the six Canadian-listed securities pay distributions in Canadian dollars.
