 B is correct because capital gains distributions from a mutual fund trust are reported annually on a T3 slip, which shows the amount and type of income received from the trust. Capital gains from mutual fund trusts are not deferred until the investor exits the mutual fund (A), as they are realized and distributed by the trust every year. Capital gains distributions are considered a disposition and are therefore taxable ©, as they increase the investor’s adjusted cost base (ACB) and reduce the capital gain or increase the capital loss when the investor sells the mutual fund units. Capital gains from mutual fund distributions are 50% taxable (D), not 100%, as only half of the capital gain is included in the investor’s taxable income.

 A portfolio with a beta less than 1 would be suitable for Gregory, who is a conservative investor and wants to reduce his exposure to market risk. A beta less than 1 means that the portfolio is less volatile than the market index and tends to dampen its movements. This implies that the portfolio would fall less than the market in a downturn, but also rise less than the market in an upturn. A portfolio with a beta equal to 1 would move in the same direction and magnitude as the market, while a portfolio with a beta greater than 1 would be more volatile than the market and amplify its movements.

An asset allocation fund is a type of mutual fund that invests in a combination of cash, fixed income, and equity securities, but has the flexibility to adjust the portfolio according to market conditions and the fund manager’s outlook. The fund manager can change the asset mix to take advantage of opportunities or reduce risks in different asset classes and markets. The fund’s objective is to achieve a balanced risk-return profile by diversifying across different assets and investment styles. Quattro Fund is an example of an asset allocation fund, as it can invest in cash, fixed income, and equity securities, and Louis can adjust the portfolio according to his views on interest rates and the market.
