Why should I invest through my corporation?
You’ve worked hard to build a profitable business. When retained earnings begin to accumulate, the strategy you choose to invest those funds matters. Rather than leaving excess cash sitting idle, investing through your corporation lets your earnings grow and work toward your long-term financial goals while you stay focused on running and expanding your business.
You can benefit from:
- Access to a larger pool of investable capital
- Potential tax efficiencies, like personal-tax deferral and tax-free capital dividend withdrawals
- Opportunities to compound growth through private alternative investments

How does Skyline fit into my corporate investing strategy?
Click on each box to discover how investing in Skyline real estate investment trusts (REITs) or Skyline Clean Energy Fund can help you maximize your corporate investing strategy.
Capital gains
advantage
Skyline REITs are structured to help generate capital gains, which can be a tax-efficient source of corporate returns. Since only 50% of capital gains are taxable, the remaining non-taxable portion may be added to your notional Capital Dividend Account (CDA), creating potential for future tax-free capital dividend withdrawals.
Tax-efficient
investing
Distributions from Skyline’s REITs may include Return of Capital (RoC), which reduces an investment’s adjusted cost base (ACB) and is not considered income. This means it does not immediately trigger corporate or personal income tax when received, offering investors flexible, tax-efficient access to corporate cash flow.
Reinvesting
benefits
Skyline Apartment REIT, Skyline Industrial REIT, and Skyline Retail REIT offer Distribution Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs), allowing distributions to be automatically reinvested to grow your capital over time. Skyline Clean Energy Fund reinvests cash earned, supporting the long-term power of compounding inside your corporation.
Real asset
diversification
All Skyline private investment products are grounded in Canadian essentials—real estate and infrastructure assets that support everyday needs like housing, retail, logistics, and renewable energy. Adding real assets to your corporate portfolio can help diversify beyond public markets and potentially reduce exposure to volatility.
Are Skyline’s investment products right for my corporation?
You may be a fit if your corporation is:
- A holding company with $100K–$10M in investable assets
- A professional corporation (MDs, dentists, lawyers, engineers)
- An operating company with surplus cash on your balance sheet
- Seeking tax-efficient compounding beyond traditional investments
