Equicapita Update - Preferred Trust Units Approved for Registered Plans by Canadian Western Trust

CALGARY, Alberta - Dec. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Equicapita is pleased to announce that its Preferred Trust Units have been approved for registered plans by Canadian Western Trust.

Equicapita is a Calgary-based buy-out fund focusing on acquiring Canadian private businesses that can generate strong, sustainable cash flow from their operations in niche markets. Equicapita generally seeks to acquire businesses:

-       at what it believes are reasonable prices;

-       with a demonstrated history of cash flow greater than $1 million per annum;

-       with a durable competitive advantage;

-       that operate in industries that Equicapita believes have sound long-term macro prospects;

-       with ongoing participation of senior personnel;

-       with the ability to maintain the cash flow without disproportionate amounts of new capital

-       to be held for the long term;

-       where there is some potential to grow sustainable free cash flow, but where that growth is not essential to generate suitable returns.”
