  • Investment
  • Currency and Foreign Exchange
DEF

A fund which tries to mimic the performance and/or the strategy of a successful, existing fund.

CONT

The money you invest in a clone fund actually goes on deposit in a Canadian financial institution. Then a small portion of it is used to purchase a forward contract, also known as a derivative, which holds foreign assets equal to those in the original fund. So, it gives you a return equal to the foreign fund, but because most of the money sits in a Canadian bank, Revenue Canada has determined that the clone fund actually qualifies as Canadian content for your RRSP.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Investment
CONT

U. S. investments via Canadian mutual funds are safe from U. S. estate tax. If you own U. S. securities, even if they are in a Canadian RSP, then you are vulnerable to the tax. If you are near or past the $60, 000 mark in total U. S. situs assets(a notable exception being cash), consider backing out of direct ownership of U. S. securities and participating through Canadian mutual funds invested in the U. S. markets. It's something to watch, with the RSP foreign content limit rising and headed toward 20%. The IRS position is that U. S. situs assets held in an RSP are subject to U. S. estate tax.
