A Canadian equity index fund is a type of mutual fund that invests in stocks that track a Canadian equity market index, such as the S&P/TSX Composite Index or the S&P/TSX 60 Index. These indices measure the performance of the largest and most liquid companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). A Canadian equity index fund aims to replicate the returns of the index it follows, before fees and expenses. Therefore, this type of fund would be best for Karen, who has a long time horizon, is comfortable with risk and volatility, and is primarily interested in growth. She also wants a mutual fund that will closely match what she sees on the TSX. References: CIBC Canadian Equity Index ETF, Top Canadian Index Funds of 2023 | The Motley Fool Canada

The investment objective for the $10,000 currently sitting in Lucas’s RRSP is safety of principal, which means that he wants to preserve the value of his investment and avoid any loss of capital. Safety of principal is a suitable objective for Lucas because he plans to withdraw the money in two months for the LLP, which is a very short time horizon. He does not need to generate any income or growth from his investment, as he will use the money to pay for his education expenses. He also does not need to worry about tax-deferral, as the LLP allows him to withdraw money from his RRSP without paying any tax, as long as he meets the eligibility and repayment requirements1. Therefore, Lucas should invest his money in low-risk and liquid assets, such as money market securities or guaranteed investment certificates (GICs), that will protect his principal and ensure that he can access his funds when he needs them. References:
