VANCOUVER — A&W Revenue Royalties Income Fund (TSX:AW) increased its payment to unit holders Tuesday as it reported an improved second-quarter profit compared with a year ago.
 
The burger chain said it will now pay a monthly cash distribution of 12.1 cents per unit, up from its previous payment of 11.7 cents. Based on the fund's unit price, it will now yield about 5.8 per cent.

Distributable cash per unit for the quarter totalled 37.8 cents, up from 33.6 cents in the same quarter last year.
