The Canadian model of allowing acquisitions looks better - it looks like the REIT model - with a few big differences. Reits ususally buy one -two properties at a time, and each of these properties is usually under 5% of of their total assets. This mean one bad acquisiton won't totally mess up the REIT. Many small acquisitions also means they buy enough times to get up the expensive learning curve.

Royalty Trusts make much bigger buys, which are more towards the 'bet your company' end of the risk spectrum.
Also, unless you are a wheeler- dealer type who's always buying and selling, you may not get up the learning curve.

For these reasons, I have some of the US trusts like SJT, HGT and CRT. No acquisition risk. Also have ERF, AVN, PWI, and a little NCN.

By the way PWI will be listed in the US soon, may raise the price.
