正解:B
解説:
Know Your Client (KYC) requirements are ongoing obligations that advisors must fulfill to ensure that they provide suitable recommendations and services to their clients. KYC requirements include collecting and documenting information about the client's personal and financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, and investment knowledge. KYC requirements also include monitoring and updating the client's information and investment performance on a regular basis. According to the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (MFDA), advisors must review the KYC information at least once every 36 months, or more frequently if there are any material changes in the client's circumstances or needs1. Advisors must also monitor the investment performance of the client's portfolio and compare it with the client's expectations and goals. If the investment performance is not satisfactory or consistent with the client'srisk tolerance, advisors must take appropriate actions, such as rebalancing the portfolio, switching funds, or revising the investment strategy2. Therefore, Harold's responsibility moving forward is to monitor the investment performance of Felicia's lump sum investment and determine if it is on track to satisfy her financial needs for the next 5 years. He must also review her KYC information at least once every 36 months, or sooner if there are any changes in her situation or objectives. References:

An investor seeks an equity investment that will mirror the performance of the energy sector in Canada. She desires a low-cost, flexible alternative that can quickly be bought or sold. Which product is most suited to her needs?
- A. Exchange-traded fund of energy sector stocks
- B. Direct investment in energy sector stocks
- C. Energy sector segregated fund
- D. Energy-sector index mutual fund
正解:A
解説:
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are traded on exchanges, offering flexibility and lower costs compared to index mutual funds, making them ideal for tracking the energy sector. The feedback from the document states:
"Like stocks, and unlike index mutual funds, ETFs are traded on an exchange and can be bought and sold throughout the trading day. In this way, ETFs provide investors with a flexible way to participate in the performance of the underlying assets without having to acquire the assets directly, incurring high transaction costs. MERs on ETFs also tend to be lower than on other index and actively managed products." Reference: Chapter 13 - Alternative Managed ProductsLearning Domain: Understanding Alternative Managed Products

質問 # 224
Joanne's earned income last year was $45,000 and her pension adjustment was $2,500. She has $2,000 in carry-forward registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) room for the current taxation year. What is Joanne's maximum tax-deductible RRSP contribution amount for the current year?
- A. $12,600
- B. $5,600
- C. $8,100
- D. $7,600
正解:D
解説:
The maximum tax-deductible RRSP contribution is calculated as 18% of the previous year's earned income, minus the pension adjustment, plus any carry-forward contribution room. In this case:
(18% × $45,000) = $8,100
$8,100 - $2,500 (pension adjustment) + $2,000 (carry-forward) = $7,600.
The feedback from the document confirms:
"Joanne's tax-deductible RRSP contribution room would be calculated as (18% × $45,000) - $2,500 + $2,000
= $7,600."

What do Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and Allowance for the Survivor have in common?
- A. benefit amounts depend on individual contribution
- B. eligibility depends on income level
- C. ability to defer benefits
- D. benefits start at the age of 65
正解:B
解説:
Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and Allowance for the Survivor are both income-tested benefits that are part of the Old Age Security (OAS) program. They are designed to provide financial assistance to low- income seniors who meet certain eligibility criteria. GIS is a monthly payment that supplements the OAS pension for seniors whose income is below a certain threshold. Allowance for the Survivor is a monthly payment for low-income seniors aged 60 to 64 whose spouse or common-law partner has died and who have not remarried or entered into another common-law relationship. The benefit amounts for both GIS and Allowance for the Survivor depend on the income level of the recipient and are adjusted quarterly based on the Consumer Price Index. The higher the income, the lower the benefit amount, until it reaches zero at a certain income limit. Therefore, eligibility for both GIS and Allowance for the Survivor depends on income level.

質問 # 228
Your employer has a contributory group RRSP under which he matches employee contributions, up to a maximum of 5% of salary.
Which of the following statements about a group registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) is CORRECT?
- A. It is more costly and time consuming to administer than traditional pension plans.
- B. If you leave your employer, your group RRSP stays with the employer.
- C. The employer chooses the plan provider.
- D. You need to wait until you file your taxes to receive your contribution tax deduction.
正解:C
解説:
A group RRSP is a retirement savings plan sponsored by an employer that allows employees to contribute through regular payroll deductions and benefit from tax advantages and possible employer matching. The employer is responsible for choosing the plan provider, which is the financial institution that administers the group RRSP and offers a range of investment options for the employees to choose from. The employer may also negotiate lower fees and better services with the plan provider than what individual RRSPs can offer.
Therefore, statement D is correct.
The other statements are incorrect for the following reasons:
* Statement A: A group RRSP is less costly and time consuming to administer than traditional pension plans, as it does not require actuarial valuations, funding requirements, or regulatory filings.
* Statement B: If you leave your employer, your group RRSP does not stay with the employer. You can transfer your group RRSP to an individual RRSP or another registered plan without tax consequences, as long as there are no locked-in provisions.
* Statement C: You do not need to wait until you file your taxes to receive your contribution tax deduction. Your contributions are deducted from your gross income before tax is calculated, so you receive an immediate tax benefit on your paycheque.

質問 # 230
Which of the following characteristics about mortgage mutual funds is CORRECT?
- A. typically monthly distributions of interest
- B. suitable only for high risk investors
- C. if interest rates fall, the mutual fund's net asset value per unit (NAVPU) will decline
- D. risk-free where the mortgages are National Housing Act (NHA) insured
正解:A
解説:
A is correct because mortgage mutual funds typically pay monthly distributions of interest to their investors, as they invest in mortgages that generate regular interest income. If interest rates fall, the mutual fund's net asset value per unit (NAVPU) will increase (B), not decline, as the value of the existing mortgages in the fund will rise. Mortgage mutual funds are suitable for low to moderate risk investors , not only for high risk investors, as they provide stable income and capital preservation. Mortgage mutual funds are not risk-free (D), even if the mortgages are National Housing Act (NHA) insured, as they still face credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk.

- A. Retirement benefits will be based on a prescribed formula that can be referenced from the plan's terms and conditions.
- B. The employer will solely make contributions to her DCPP based on a prescribed formula noted within her plan.
- C. To ensure she has savings at retirement, the employer will choose stable investments to grow her retirement savings.
- D. Her available registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) contribution room will be reduced by what is being contributed to her plan.
正解:D
解説:
A defined contribution pension plan (DCPP) is a type of retirement savings plan where the employer and/or employee make contributions to an individual account for the employee. The retirement benefits depend on the amount of contributions and the investment returns. Contributions to a DCPP reduce the employee's available registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) contribution room, which is the maximum amount that can be contributed to an RRSP each year without tax penalties.
質問 # 233
An increase in which factor is a result of a deflationary environment?
- A. Interest rates
- B. Goods and services prices
- C. Corporate profits

Lower interest rates (to stimulate borrowing)
But personal savings increase because consumers delay purchases expecting lower future prices.
Therefore, the correct answer is Personal savings.

Quattro Fund is an example of an asset allocation fund, as it can invest in cash, fixed income, and equity securities, and Louis can adjust the portfolio according to his views on interest rates and the market.

Your client's unused RRSP contribution room is $46,000. He contributes $15,000 in the current taxation year.
How much RRSP contribution room can he carry forward?
- A. $46,000
- B. $38,000
- C. $31,000
- D. $35,000
正解:C
解説:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

"Any RRSP contribution room that is not used in a taxation year can be carried forward to be used in future years. There is no limit on the amount that can be carried forward. In this example, $46,000 - $15,000 =
$31,000."

質問 # 238
Which money market fund yield is calculated as the most recent seven-day yield?
- A. Current
- B. Nominal
- C. Effective
- D. Duration
正解:A
解説:
For money market funds, performance reporting differs from other mutual funds because the NAVPS is relatively fixed.
Instead of reporting NAVPS, financial sources publish the current yield and effective yield.
The current yield is calculated based on the most recent seven-day yield, expressed as an annualized percentage.
The effective yield compounds the current yield over a year for comparison with other investments.
Thus, the correct answer is Current yield.
質問 # 239
Eleanora receives a $500 eligible Canadian dividend from her mutual fund. Her federal marginal tax rate for the year is 29%. Assuming the enhanced gross-up of 38% and a federal dividend tax credit of 15.02%, how much federal tax will she pay on her dividend?
- A. $189.16
- B. $115.40
- C. $69.90
- D. $96.46
正解:D
解説:
The federal tax on eligible Canadian dividends is calculated as follows:
* First, the dividend amount is grossed up by 38%, which means multiplying it by 1.38. This is to account for the corporate tax that has already been paid by the company. Eleanora's grossed-up dividend is
$500 x 1.38 = $690.
* Second, the grossed-up dividend is multiplied by the federal marginal tax rate to get the gross federal tax. Eleanora's gross federal tax is $690 x 0.29 = $200.10.
* Third, the grossed-up dividend is multiplied by the federal dividend tax credit rate to get the federal tax credit. This is to avoid double taxation of the dividend income. Eleanora's federal tax credit is $690 x
0.1502 = $103.64.
* Fourth, the federal tax credit is subtracted from the gross federal tax to get the net federal tax. Eleanora' s net federal tax is $200.10 - $103.64 = $96.46.
Therefore, Eleanora will pay $96.46 in federal tax on her dividend. References: How Dividends Are Taxed and Reported on Tax Returns - Investopedia, Dividend Tax Credit in Canada - TurboTax
