Recent Dividend Increase

On February 17, A&W Royalties Income Fund released their 4th quarter results.  December 31, 2020 is the end of the 4th quarter.

A&W Restaurants have had a tough go of it in 2020 due to lockdowns in various places where their restaurants are located.  The drive thru remained opened, but the restaurants was closed to in-person dining at various times.

A&W Royalties Fund announced an increase to their monthly distribution.  The monthly distribution was increased from $0.10 to $0.135, which is an increase of 35%.   During 2020, the distribution was suspended due to the first wave of COVID19.  Eventually, the distribution was lower then previous distribution when it was restarted.  

The new distribution rate will start for unitholders of record March 15, to be paid on March 31.

I own 38 shares of AW.UN at this time.   This increase adds $15.96 to my annual dividend income.
