Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello 5i,
Would a LIRA account have the same general tax rules as a RRSP (especially with regard to the dividend tax credit and withholding tax on US dividend) ? Based on my research it appears to be the case but I was looking for confirmation. Any advice or comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Since 2007 my wife and I have contributed our best appreciated securities in our cash account to a Private Giving Foundation (PGF) at TDWaterhouse which has helped us minimize income tax by escaping the capital gains tax thus maximizing charitable donations. For the earlier contributions, once in the PGF the money from stock sales has been invested in the TD Balanced Income Fund which has had stodgy performance and steep MER, and TD Monthly Income Fund lately which is sort of ok for both. We have no choice in the allocation of investments once our securities have been committed to the PGF.

For our future contributions to a PGF are you aware of any other carriers that might provide more choice in the investments made on behalf of our chosen charities and/or lower fees to run it? (I am in no hurry for an answer here as I recognize it is a question that may be outside your scope, or if it is more apt for CMS, I'll post it there.)

Thanks to 5i for pointing out Badger +205% which will be the next to go to the PGF before repurchase, and others I would not have acted on without 5i. Thanks again, J.
