(For Release 6:00 p.m. EDT, September 5, 2000)

Toronto, September 5, 2000: Global Plus Income Trust (the "Trust") has declared a regular quarterly income distribution of C$0.75 per Unit payable September 29, 2000 to unitholders of record on such date. This distribution consists of the regular quarterly distribution of C$0.50 per Unit and a special distribution of C$0.25 per Unit.

Unitholders of Global Plus Income Trust may elect to have their distributions re-invested into additional Units by enrolling in the Trust's Distribution Reinvestment Plan. Unitholders should contact their broker or the Plan Agent (Montreal Trust Company of Canada) to enroll in the plan.

Global Plus Income Trust was launched in September 1999 to provide Unitholders with a stable stream of quarterly distributions of at least $0.50 per Unit. The Trust intends to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a diversified portfolio (the "Portfolio") consisting principally of common shares issued by corporations selected from the Standard & Poor's 100 Index and American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") of the top 100 corporations selected on the basis of market capitalization whose ADRs are trading on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. In addition, in order to provide further global investment opportunities, the Trust may, from time to time, invest up to a maximum of 25% of its net asset value in World Equity Benchmark Shares that seek to provide investment results that track the performance of a specific country index compiled by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc.

To generate additional returns above the dividend income earned on the portfolio, the Trust will from time to time, write covered call options in respect of all or part of the common shares in the Portfolio. In addition, the Trust may write cash covered put options in respect of securities in which the Trust is permitted to invest.

The Trust's investment portfolio is managed by its investment manager, Mulvihill Capital Management Inc. Trust Units are listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol GIP.UN
