Canadian Mutual Funds

By Bob Jones

Mutual funds are one of the methods whereby people can earn some money by saving without much risk. With mutual funds the company has a number of stocks, shares and bonds that can increase the client's investment. While many countries have their own kind of mutual funds you will discover that Canadian mutual funds have a parent firm that regulates their operations.

In general, Canadian mutual funds are available only to residents of Canada. If you desire to invest your money in one of these Canadian mutual funds then you should investigate the matter very carefully. The various companies that you can check out should have all of their terms and conditions listed in a clear and easy to understand way.

You can read through financial pages of the newspapers and the Internet to look up how the various Canadian mutual funds are performing. These lists will help you to make a comparison between the mutual funds you are interested in.

To gain a clearer picture of what types of stocks and bonds there are in each of these firms, you should examine the listings that are given. Compare these details with those of other Canadian mutual funds.

In general, the many different Canadian mutual funds will have the same type of funds as the ones in the USA. These funds include the index mutual funds, low cost funds, front load funds, no-load funds and others. Before you decide to invest in a Canadian mutual funds group, you will need some legal advice.

This advice will have to handle the questions of tax that you might have to pay on both sides of the border. This is vital as the taxation authorities in the US require shareholders in investment corporations to pay some type of tax on capital gains distributions. You will need to know how the Canadian government looks at the tax rates for Canadian mutual funds.

There is one aspect that needs more thorough inspection when you are going through the various Canadian mutual funds. Canadian mutual funds can have a variety of different brands of stock held under the umbrella of one fund. For instance you will find that the 'RBC ('Royal Bank of Canada') Asset Management Inc.', has one type of stock brand called the RBC Funds. Whereas 'The Mackenzie Financial Corporation', on the other hand, has nine different brands.

All of this makes the option of investing in Canadian mutual funds quite interesting. If you are interested, you will need to see how you can invest in one of these funds. Your financial adviser should be able to give you some help in this endeavour. - 23221
