Q: I believe I have read that it is unwise to purchase mutual funds in december because they allocate certain amounts that accumulate over the year therefore you could be in for a capitol gain or other tax liability that you did note participate in. I have two funds left to liquidate as a result of moving all my accounts to a discount broker and reallocating resources to individual stocks and ETFs.
Is there any advantage to selling these two funds now to avoid this year end fund activity? I would be doing so early in the new year anyway.
Thank you so much for an educational and profitable year. All the best for the Season and 2014 to the 5i team and members.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: Just a comment regarding Andrew’s question (12/3/13) about switching between VUS and VUN and the possibility of not triggering a capital gain. I agree with you that his contemplated switch would crystallize a taxable gain, if executed, but I think he may have had something else in mind when mentioning what he had heard about. I think in some cases mutual fund companies are able to allow investor’s holdings to be switched between their various funds “in house,” without creating a taxable transaction for the investor. That may have been the idea. As you point out though, it doesn’t work with ETFs, even if the ETFs are both products of the same investment company.
Q: Seems to me that if you can identify a fund with a good manager at inception, before they are swamped with cash, then you can do very well. Over the last while we have seen a Raymond Jeffries fund top the charts and more recently CI Canadian Growth. Are you able to identify and recommend similar funds when they occur?
Q: Could you please recommend 3 or 4 solid mutual funds for my pension account Thanx Robbie

Q: I am thinking of adding some mutual funds to my portfolio. Specifically I am looking at the Mawer funds with fairly low Mer and with no trailer fees. Maw 104, 106, 108, 120. These all have fairly good track records. Appreciate your thoughts.
