Q: Does this fund qualify for benefit as a Canadian Dividend fund?
Please explain rules to qualify for the dividend discount.
Thanks.
Asked by Catherine on December 16, 2025
5i Research Answer:

ETFs 'pass through' the tax consequences of their holdings to unitholders. The Canadian dividend tax credit only applies on eligible dividends from Canadian companies. QMAX owns no Canadian companies and thus no portion of its income qualifies.
