Are dividend stocks REALLY passive income? They are if it’s from royalty trusts! These special company structures are almost completely passive and a great way to invest. I’ll reveal the 7 best royalty trust stocks for passive income and what to watch for in this video.
Royalty Trusts are special types of companies set up to hold an income producing asset and then pass all that income on to investors.
Not only do these offer dividend yields well above the market average but there are a lot of other benefits that make these even better than your traditional dividend stocks.
These companies usually buy assets like an oil field or a gold or copper mine. The exploration company gets a one-time payment for a percentage share of the production. The company continues to manage the asset, so drilling for oil on the fields or mining the gold reserves. Royalty trusts have no employees, it’s just a financial account that receives the percentage share from the exploration company and passes it on to investors.
And because the structure is so simple here, there’s really no financial statements to analyze. There aren’t any of the accounting tricks other companies use to make revenue look bigger or expenses smaller, it’s just one income producing asset and the distributions.

The big upside to trusts is the higher dividend yield compared to other income stocks. For example the Schwab Dividend ETF, ticker SCHD, is one of the stronger dividend funds but only pays a 3.6% yield. Even the Vanguard Real Estate Fund, ticker VNQ, which owns those income-producing REITs only pays a 4% yield.
With royalty trusts, you not only get a higher dividend, usually around 5% and higher but most of that isn’t taxable. We’ll talk more about taxes on royalty trusts later but these have a great hidden tax break where you only pay taxes on the investment after you sell it instead of yearly on those dividend payments.
Another upside here is that, because these trusts are a special type of company, they don’t pay corporate taxes on income …it’s just a much more efficient way to hold these assets compared to other companies like an Exxon or Chevron. Royalty Trusts are able to distribute nearly all their income instead of having to pay for operational costs and taxes.

Do you think dividend investing is passive income? Yes or No and why?
Did you sell covered calls on the groy? I bought some today at 2.15 sh.
October 2.50 pays .20
What happens after 10 years for CRT, any exploration?
Joe can we get your thoughts on MPW? I know you bought heavy into it so with all the bad news on the stock can you do a new video?
Doesn't VOC need to go past 2030, 14% return to then gives one one's investment back?
Are there royalty trusts that you can invest in for entertainment royalties – music, movies, video games, etc?
GROY looks like its going broke.
Hi Sotry to give you a 👎, but suggesting an oil production "investment" that has production cost of 70 to80$ per barrel WTI when there are great alternatives that have production cost of 30$ per barrel BRENT …
VOC, MSB, SBR, MTR, GROY, CRT, UROY
Well Joe at least, I've been holding my stuff unlike last year, what about selling 20k of Global x holdings for this?
MSB hasn’t paid a dividend since July of last year…not sure about that one
My screen says MSB hasn't paid a dividend since August of '22. Is that correct…
Are these long term holds? Or short term trades?
Joseph, What if you own these Royal Trust in a Roth-IRA do I have any tax fillings I have to do each year or when I sell them ?
Is there a royalty trust stock for thorium (an alternative nuclear reactor fuel)?
Hahaaaa 😂 You have EXCELLENT actor and manuscript skills! Well done 😎
Can anyone show me the link for the seeking alfa subscription for half off?
Thanks for the informative walk through of royalty trusts. Very educational for me.
already have positions in 3 of these. yay!
When will urol pay dividends?
I have a portfolio in M1 finance because they do a pie style and it’s easy for me but I feel like there is other options that are better. Any advice
Y’all know he is just doing a paid promotion on the stock ! It says so in the disclosure he is being compensated by the Uranium company for this !
Not exactly independent info !
I'm not sure this is for everyone but right now, diversification is the secret to optimal performance. This is why I have my interests set on market sectors based on performance and projected growth, such as the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech, and Health.
We are getting confused with stocks or ETF.. as we trust you please let us know
Give us 4-5 stocks/ETF’s which you are confident about and have stable growth and pay good dividends in monthly/quarterly.. i have Baden following from last 2-3 years . I am write follower of you. Please create a video with above requirement
1. Stable
2. Growth
3. Decent dividends(8-12%)
4. Invest and sleep without tense..
Thank you 😊
What happens if you hold these in a roth ira?
This was helpful with adding a few new trusts (SBR i ditched after awhile that was sparking a few red flags though)…. Was curious of your thought on low-float micro cap companies (the apple/microsofts of tomorrow)
Hey Joe … Another well researched video, Might want to include a bit more on risk. Thank you for making the effort to educacate the Financiallty Iletterate American public…
According to Bipan Rai, North America director of FX strategy at CIBC Capital Markets, "there is growing concern that incoming data is showing that the Fed may be slightly behind the curve than perhaps they expected heading into this year." More red than green is seen in my portfolio. How are other people in this market making over $350,000 in gains in a short period of time?
I was really hopeful of my investments this year, but all my plans have been disoriented, I've been studying the market crashes and I realized some investors made millions from the recent 2008 recession and I was wondering if such success rate could be achieved in this present market. and the Federal Reserve taking a more hawkish approach to interest rates and bond purchase tapering, a correction is underway.
The S&P 500 finished down 20% in 2022. This means long term investors have a great starting point in 2023. Here are 4 very popular ETF’s: $VOO- S&P 500 fund $VTI- Total US stock market $QQQ- High growth, tech $SCHD- Growth + Dividends. My dividends for the past year; $67k Blessed and grateful, disciplined and focused.
Hello I am from India,your videos help me a lot. I have created my dividend portfolio 👍
no thx
Thanks Joe! Sounds like a dream come true. Only thing is they are all in energy. Up to us now to just do it!
I added a 'watch' for these 7 stocks, but MSB is not showing any dividend information. Where did you get the 19.53% info? I am just a newbie trying to learn and understand. BTW, I appreciate your channel over any other stock-type channel. Some of the others are more click bait than any real supportive information.
$MSB doesn't seem to have a dividend anymore or at least on Seeking Alpha platform?! Confused?
You always take a thorough, up-front approach and I really appreciate it. I had to start completely over with retirement at age 45 (7 years ago for me) and my portfolio is measurably better, in ways which make sense to me, because of your perspectives and explanations. So, thank you and keep sharing your ideas!
My mom and I get great returns on our investment with Ms. Chalian Shantae, her skills on set are amazing.
Is this a good time to buy stocks? I know everyone is saying stocks are at a discount and all, but just how long will It take for us to recover, obviously there are strategies to maneuver in this present market but these strategies doesn't come common to the average folk, or am I better off putting my money elsewhere?
