TORONTO, April 1, 2014 /CNW/ - Invesco Canada has announced measures to streamline its offering of tax-efficient corporate class mutual funds. Effective April 1, 2014, Invesco Canada Fund Inc. will be amalgamated with Invesco Corporate Class Inc.
Corporate class mutual funds are structured as different classes of shares within a corporation, providing the potential for enhanced tax efficiency. Investors can transfer between different funds within the corporation without triggering a taxable event, and capital gains or losses are not generated until the investment is redeemed from the corporation.
The amalgamation of Invesco Canada's two mutual fund corporations will provide investors with additional tax-deferred switching opportunities, with 37 available mutual funds within the amalgamated corporation. The amalgamated corporation will continue to operate under the Invesco Corporate Class Inc. name.
The merger will not result in a taxable event for investors, nor will there be any impact on the net asset value per share or the number of shares held by each individual investor.
On April 1, 2014, the following funds will cease to be offered within Invesco Canada Fund Inc. and instead be offered within Invesco Corporate Class Inc.:
- Invesco Canadian Premier Growth Class
- Invesco Core Canadian Balanced Class
- Trimark Canadian Class
- Trimark Canadian Opportunity Class
- Trimark Diversified Income Class
