IFSE Institute CIFC Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

C is correct because the management expense ratio (MER) reflects the percentage of each dollar of fund assets that is used to pay for management services and operating expenses of a mutual fund. The MER includes various fees and expenses, such as management fees, administration fees, trailer fees, audit fees, legal fees, and taxes. The MER reduces the return of the fund, as it is deducted from the fund’s income and capital gains before they are distributed to investors. Mutual funds are not required to calculate the MER on a daily basis (A), but rather on an annual basis. Trailer and brokerage fees are included in the MER (B), not charged separately. Mutual fund performance is impacted by the MER (D), as it lowers the net return of the fund. Rates of return are published net of fees, but they do not reflect the impact of the MER on the fund’s performance. References: Canadian Investment Funds Course (CIFC) | IFSE Institute

 Moving the DEF Bond Fund to the RRSP would be more tax-efficient than moving any of the other funds. This is because bond funds generate interest income, which is fully taxable at the investor’s marginal tax rate in a non-registered account. By moving the bond fund to an RRSP, Darryl can defer paying taxes on the interest income until he withdraws it from the RRSP. Moving the GHI Global Equity Fund to the RRSP (B) would not be tax-efficient, as global equity funds generate foreign income and dividends, which are subject to foreign withholding taxes in an RRSP. Moving $20,000 from each of the three funds to the RRSP © would not be tax-efficient, as it would trigger capital gains taxes on all three funds in proportion to their returns. Moving the ABC Canadian Equity Fund to the RRSP (D) would not be tax-efficient, as Canadian equity funds generate Canadian dividends, which are eligible for a dividend tax credit in a non-registered account. By moving the Canadian equity fund to an RRSP, Darryl would lose this tax advantage and pay taxes on the dividends at his marginal tax rate when he withdraws them from the RRSP.

Gifts and benefits may be provided to a client if your employer is aware of the benefits and has given approval. This is one of the rules concerning conflicts of interest set by the MFDA. A conflict of interest is a situation where a person’s personal interests conflict with their professional obligations or duties. Gifts and benefits may create a conflict of interest if they influence or appear to influence the person’s judgment or actions. Therefore, the MFDA requires that any gifts and benefits given or received by a mutual fund dealer or its representatives must be disclosed to and approved by the dealer, and must not compromise or appear to compromise the dealer’s or representative’s integrity or objectivity.
