Canada is home to dozens of oil & gas income trusts doing business in the country's rich resources sector.

StockResearchPortal.com is a free investment research tool that helps investors analyze these business vehicles, whose principal business is the production and sale of crude oil and natural gas.

From a business point of view income trusts are structured differently from corporations so that they can take advantage of lower taxation rates in Canada when distributing their earnings to unit holders.

The website includes in-depth research on Canadian oil & gas trusts including up-to-date, daily financial and market data.

Investors looking to do analysis on large-cap businesses like Penn West Energy Trust, ARC Energy Trust, or Enerplus Resource Funds will be able to compare oil and gas income trusts based on a variety of factors, including unit price volatility, important financial ratios and analysts reports.
