What is a Private Pool?

The value of these units is based on the value of the Private Pool’s underlying investments. A professional portfolio manager manages these investments on a discretionary basis.

Content

Who is this investment for?

Investors who:

  • are seeking to diversify their investments and want an exposure to the U.S. Market.
  • want a regular flow of income.
  • are willing to tolerate a moderate level of risk.

A word about tax

In general, you’ll have to pay income tax on any gain and revenue generated from your investment. How much you pay depends on the tax laws that are applicable in the area you live in and whether or not you hold the investment in a registered plan, such as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan or a Tax-Free Savings Account. Keep in mind that if you hold your investment in a non-registered account, fund distributions or capital gains are included in your taxable income; whether they are paid, accrued or reinvested.
