1 There are no tax implications for owners of registered contracts (RRSP, RRIF, TFSA, LIRA, LIF, etc.).
2 This fund is largely comprised of ETFs and the capital gains estimate does not include the estimated capital gain of ETFs held.
3No estimate of tax impacts is currently available for this fund.
Important! Note that these are
high level estimates based on the most recent data received from some of our portfolio managers during the month of November 2024. These estimates do not include expenses ratios attributable to each fund or the potential additional income and capital gains and losses that could be allocated between now and the end of the year. These estimates do not include capital gains and losses realized by the DFS GIFs on their transactions, if applicable.
When units of the DFS GIF are attributed to a non-registered contract, part of the capital gains or losses can be allocated to the contract owners. However, it is difficult to estimate this gain or loss for each contract owner because the allocation depends on the transactions they made during the year. Capital gains and losses will be communicated to contract owners individually in the tax slips which will be sent before March 31, 2025. For more information on attribution, please refer to the brochure Taxation of GIF.
