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.
