 A life income fund (LIF) is a type of registered retirement income fund (RRIF) that can be used to hold locked-in pension funds as well as other assets for an eventual payout as retirement income. A LIF cannot be withdrawn in a lump sum and has minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts each year. A LIF can only be funded by transferring money from a locked-in retirement account (LIRA) or another LIF. Therefore, D is the correct answer.

Interest income distribution is a type of income that a mutual fund pays to its investors from the interest earned on its fixed-income investments, such as bonds and mortgages. Interest income distribution is taxed as ordinary income at the investor’s top marginal tax rate, which is the highest tax rate that applies to their income bracket. Therefore, B is the correct answer. References: Interest Income and Taxes - Fidelity, Topic No. 403, Interest Received | Internal Revenue Service

Adele has a high-risk profile and an excellent understanding of equities. Therefore, it would be appropriate for Danny to recommend growth funds. However, since Adele has $1,000,000 to invest, it would be prudent to diversify her investments and invest equally in all 3 funds. This way, she can benefit from the exposure to different regions and sectors, and reduce the impact of market fluctuations on her portfolio. Based on the table, all 3 funds have the same 5-year annualized returns net of MER, which is 15%. However, they have different MERs and Sharpe ratios. The MER is the fee charged by the fund manager for managing the fund, and the Sharpe ratio is a measure of risk-adjusted return. A lower MER means a lower cost for the investor, and a higher Sharpe ratio means a higher return per unit of risk. Therefore, investing equally in all 3 funds would allow Adele to achieve a balanced trade-off between cost and performance. References:
