Tax Class Mutual Funds

Tax-efficient funds designed for Canadians investing outside of their registered accounts. Tax Class Funds allow investors to switch between different investment funds without triggering a taxable event, such as a capital gain.

Tax Class Funds are ideal for investors who:

  • Are looking for great investment ideas outside of their RRSP
  • Want to defer capital gains (or losses) that result from switching
  • Want to invest in funds with proven track records and well-established histories

How Do Tax Class Funds work?

  • Designed for non-registered investments
  • Allows switching from one fund to another within the Tax Class structure without triggering immediate tax consequence
  • Switches occur on a tax-deferred "rollover" basis resulting in capital gains (or losses) not being realized at the time of the switch
  • Capital gains (or losses) are deferred until the investment is eventually redeemed
  • As long as the switch to fund is within the Tax Class structure, investors may place switches without triggering immediate tax consequences
