Consult with key stakeholders to provide background documents on the market for use by financial advisors and other educational interests.
Reshape the Inaugural event, originally planned as one full-day Roundtable, to provide a series of more accesible Web seminars and to address the changing market, proposed tax and policy environment.
Establish an archive of background articles and quotes of value to investors and media, as well as abstracts from academic and industry research papers of use to financial professionals, market and policy analysts, researchers and managers.
Included in the archive will be a summary and report to members on findings from submissions made in response to the Department of Finance Consultation Paper on Flow-through Entities.

Between Day 1 and Day 2 of hearings on Trusts, the Institute was requested to provide a Brief to Committee members: iTrust Institute Brief on Income Trusts 2007-02-01 Final.pdf
iTrust Institute is studying the key features, perceived potential & benefits of income trusts starting from the premise that:
Equities managed and structured like income trusts to flow net gains through to owners by way of frequent and regular distributions of cash can offer superior rates of overall return, support market growth, enhance economic productivity and contribute to growth of the tax base with less risk than other equities given honest managers and a fully competitive market supported by open communications.
We will test this notion and explore related questions.
