Fiscal allocations as at December 31, 2023

January 18, 2024

The Fiscal Allocations Table for our fund lineup in the IAG SRP Classic Series 75/75 as at December 31, 2023 is now available.

 

Allocations Table  (as at Dec. 31, 2023)

(Only non-registered contracts are taxed annually) 

 

These fiscal allocations:

  • pertain to clients who held fund units between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023
  • vary based on the period during which each client held fund units during this period
  • are a good indicator for the funds offered in other series or products

 

There are two sources of income and capital gains/losses to consider:

  1. Segregated funds must allocate all income and capital gains/losses to its unitholders each year, on a time-weighted basis. Taxable capital gains usually stem from portfolio managers’ active strategies, with the goal of providing the best possible total return to fund holders.

  2. When an investor/unitholder redeems units, a capital gain or loss results.

The allocations realized for tax purposes increase the Adjusted Cost Base (ACB) of the unitholder, thus avoiding double taxation. The number of units remains the same and the ACB is calculated by iA Financial Group.

Capital gains resulting from transactions made by fund managers AND capital gains resulting from withdrawals made by the client will appear on the same tax slip (T3 [federal] and R16 [Quebec]).

For more information, consult the Tax treatment of segregated funds document.

Assist your clients with their year-end tax planning!

 

  • Segregated funds are the only investment funds where capital losses are allocated to unit holders.
  • This is a major advantage for investors, who can claim a deduction for these losses and offset capital gains realized in the same year or in the three previous years.
  • Unused capital losses can be carried forward indefinitely to offset capital gains that will be realized in the future.
  • Your clients can also reduce their tax bill by selling fund units with a market value lower than the price paid and use the resulting capital loss to offset any capital gains realized in recent years.
