Structure Overview

RioCan REIT (REI.UN) is one of Canada's largest retail-focused REITs, owning shopping centres and mixed-use developments primarily in major urban centres. RioCan cut its distribution in 2020 and has since rebuilt it gradually. Distributions include a mix of other income and return of capital, making non-registered account placement less tax-efficient than registered accounts.

Canadian Planning Notes

  • 1RioCan cut its distribution in 2020 and has been rebuilding it; plan around the post-cut trajectory and monitor same-property NOI trends.
  • 2REIT distributions in non-registered accounts require annual tracking of the ROC component to maintain an accurate adjusted cost base.
  • 3RRSP or RRIF placement removes the tax-character complexity and is generally optimal for Canadian REITs.
