Key Terms
cusipfinancial
A CUSIP is a nine-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a U.S. or Canadian financial security—such as a stock, bond, or fund share—like a Social Security number for an investment. It matters to investors because brokers, exchanges and record-keepers use the CUSIP to match trades, track ownership, settle transactions and pull accurate records, reducing errors and ensuring money and securities go to the right place.
section 199a dividendsfinancial
Section 199A dividends are certain dividend payments from real estate investment trusts (REITs) and publicly traded partnerships that qualify for a special U.S. tax deduction allowing up to a 20% reduction of the income they create. For investors, that means these payouts are taxed differently than regular dividend income—they don’t get the lower capital gains rate but can lower taxable income through the deduction, similar to getting a partial tax rebate on that income.
unrecaptured section 1250 gainsfinancial
Unrecaptured Section 1250 gains are the portion of profit from selling depreciable real estate (like buildings or rental property) that reflects past tax deductions for wear and tear. Instead of getting the lower long-term capital gains rate, that portion is taxed at a higher fixed rate (up to 25% for most individual investors), so it can raise the tax bill when an investor sells property or shares of real-estate businesses.
non-dividend distributionsfinancial
Non-dividend distributions are cash or stock payments to shareholders that are not paid from a company’s current profits, and are instead treated as a return of part of the investor’s original investment or other non-earnings sources. For investors this matters because such payments typically reduce the shareholder’s cost basis (affecting future capital gains tax) and can signal that the company is returning capital rather than generating sustainable earnings—similar to getting back part of the money you put in instead of receiving ongoing income.
distributed antenna systems (das)technical
A distributed antenna system (DAS) is a network of small radio antennas placed throughout a building or area and connected to shared equipment to boost cellular and wireless signals where a single tower can't reach. Think of it like a plumbing system that routes strong signal “water” to every room so calls and data work reliably. Investors care because DAS installations affect telecom carriers’ costs and revenues, building valuations, and demand for wireless infrastructure and service contracts.
real estate investment trusts (reits)financial
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are companies that own, operate or finance income-producing real estate—like apartment buildings, offices, shopping centers or warehouses—and make most of their rental income available to shareholders as dividends. For investors, REITs offer a way to get regular income and property exposure without buying buildings directly, similar to owning slices of many rental properties, and they can provide diversification but remain sensitive to interest rates and property market conditions.
