We are pleased to provide Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFICP F I C) annual information statements to U.S. persons who are unitholders of our Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and who therefore file U.S. tax returns.
Canadian mutual funds and ETFs are classified as corporations for U.S. tax purposes and as a result ‘U.S. persons’ who hold Canadian mutual funds and ETFs may benefit from PFICP F I C tax reporting. PFICP F I C Annual Information Statements contain information that enables investors to treat a fund or ETF as a Qualified Electing Fund (QEF) on IRS Form 8621. Whether the QEF election is appropriate for you depends on your personal circumstances. The QEF election is the only way that the appreciation in a fund's value can be eligible for U.S. taxation at the more favourable capital gains rates.
Does This Impact You?
Investors who hold Canadian Mutual Funds or ETFs and file U.S. tax returns or are considered a ‘U.S. person’ may benefit from PFICP F I C tax reporting. Unitholders of the Fund should consult with a U.S. tax professional to determine whether they are United States persons.
The information provided in the PFICP F I C annual information statements are to assist investors with calculations and should not be considered tax advice.
