A unit trust is an investment vehicle which issues securities called trust units. Each unit represents participation in a large pool of capital that is invested in a group of investment vehicles by professional managers. Like a common shareholder, each unit holder receives a transferable, marketable certificate, representing the number of units owned and is entitled to one vote per unit owned. Unlike a common shareholder, however, ownership of a unit trust does not provide the safeguard of limited liability and theoretically a unit holder could be held liable for certain debts incurred by the trust itself. ... All income received by the trust, aside from administrative expenses and fees of the advisors and managers, flows directly to unit holders as dividends. 2, record 8, English, - unit%20trust

La fiducie d’investissement à participation unitaire est un fonds de placement qui émet des titres, appelés unités de fiducie, représentant une participation dans un important fonds commun de capitaux qui sont investis dans un ensemble de moyens de placement par des gestionnaires professionnels. Comme l'actionnaire ordinaire, le porteur d’unité reçoit un certificat négociable et transférable représentant le nombre d’unités détenues et a droit à un vote par unité. La propriété d’une unité de fiducie ne donne toutefois pas la sécurité de la responsabilité limitée et, à la différence de l'actionnaire ordinaire, un détenteur d’unités pourrait théoriquement être tenu responsable de certaines dettes contractées par le fonds.... Tous les revenus que le fonds reçoit, mis à part les frais d’administration et la rémunération des conseillers et du gestionnaire, sont distribués directement aux détenteurs d’unités sous forme de dividendes. 2, record 8, French, - fiducie%20d%26rsquo%3Binvestissement%20%C3%A0%20participation%20unitaire

If a company's ability to pay interest and dividends deteriorates because of lower earnings, the preferred shareholder is "in the middle" - better protected than the common shareholders but junior to the claims of the debtholders. 2, record 13, English, - debtholder

Les actions privilégiées ont, par rapport aux actions ordinaires, un droit prioritaire sur l’actif en cas de liquidation ou de dissolution de la compagnie. Le droit des créanciers et des porteurs de titres d’emprunt a préséance sur celui des actionnaires privilégiés, et les actionnaires ordinaires doivent se contenter de ce qui reste après que tous les droits des créanciers, des porteurs de titres d’emprunt et des actionnaires privilégiés ont été satisfaits. 3, record 13, French, - porteur%20de%20titres%20d%26rsquo%3Bemprunt

A unit trust is an investment vehicle which issues securities called trust units. Each unit represents participation in a large pool of capital that is invested in a group of investment vehicles by professional managers. Like a common shareholder, each unit holder receives a transferable, marketable certificate, representing the number of units owned and is entitled to one vote per unit owned. Unlike a common shareholder, however, ownership of a unit trust does not provide the safeguard of limited liability and theoretically a unit holder could be held liable for certain debts incurred by the trust itself. 2, record 14, English, - trust%20unit

La fiducie d’investissement à participation unitaire est un fonds de placement qui émet des titres, appelés unités de fiducie, représentant une participation dans un important fonds commun de capitaux qui sont investis dans un ensemble de moyens de placement par des gestionnaires professionnels. Comme l'actionnaire ordinaire, le porteur d’unité reçoit un certificat négociable et transférable représentant le nombre d’unités détenues et a droit à un vote par unité. La propriété d’une unité de fiducie ne donne toutefois pas la sécurité de la responsabilité limitée et, à la différence de l'actionnaire ordinaire, un détenteur d’unités pourrait théoriquement être tenu responsable de certaines dettes contractées par le fonds. 2, record 14, French, - part%20de%20fiducie

As with retractable debt securities, the terms of retractable preferreds usually specify an election period deadline for notifying the company of intention to retract.

Tout comme pour les titres d’emprunt encaissables par anticipation, les dispositions relatives aux actions privilégiées encaissables par anticipation prévoient une période d’option pendant laquelle le porteur doit aviser la compagnie de son intention d’encaisser ses actions par anticipation. L'encaissement par anticipation ne se fait pas automatiquement. Il appartient donc au porteur d’aviser la compagnie de son intention de le faire. 2, record 15, French, - titre%20d%26rsquo%3Bemprunt%20encaissable%20par%20anticipation
