Mutual Funds

By Bob Jones

Mutual funds are one of the ways that people can use to earn some money by saving in a safe way. With mutual funds the company has an investment of stocks and bonds that can increase the client's outlay. While many countries have their own version of mutual funds you will discover that Canadian mutual funds have a parent company that oversees their activities.

Usually, Canadian mutual funds are applicable only to residents of Canada. If you want to invest your money in one of these Canadian mutual funds then you have to investigate the matter very carefully. The various companies that you should investigate should have all of their terms and conditions denoted in a clear and easy to understand way.

You can look through financial pages of the newspapers and the Internet to see how the various Canadian mutual funds are doing. These lists will help you to make a comparison between the mutual funds you are interested in.

To gain a better picture of what kinds of stocks and bonds there are in each of these companies, you should look at the listings that are given. Compare these details with those of other Canadian mutual funds.

For the most part, Canadian mutual funds will have the same kind of funds as the mutual funds in the US have. These funds include index mutual funds, low cost funds, front load funds, no-load funds and others. However, before you decide to invest in a Canadian mutual funds group, you may need to get some legal advice.

This advice will have to deal with the questions of tax that you might have to pay on both sides of the border. This is vital as the taxation authorities in the US require shareholders in investment corporations to pay some type of tax on capital gains distributions. You will need to know how the Canadian government looks at the tax rates for Canadian mutual funds.

There is one point that requires more thorough inspection when you are investigating the various Canadian mutual funds. Canadian mutual funds can hold a number of different brands of stock under the umbrella of one fund. For example, you will find that the 'RBC ('Royal Bank of Canada') Asset Management Inc.', has one kind of stock brand called the RBC Funds. Whereas 'The Mackenzie Financial Corporation', on the other hand, has nine different brands.

All of this makes the option of investing in Canadian mutual funds quite interesting. If you are interested, you will need to find out how you can invest in one of these funds. Your financial advisor should be able to provide you with help in this direction. - 23218
