The Mackenzie Series T Calculator makes a number of assumptions.
Cash Flow
Cash flow is based on the Series T annual payout rate selected by the user. The amount of the payout is reset annually based on the fund’s net asset value per security.
Cash flow is assumed to consist entirely of return of capital (ROC). A return of capital is not taxable; however, it reduces the adjusted cost base (ACB) of your investment. If the ACB of your investment drops below zero, the adjusted cost base of your investment will be deemed to have increased to zero and you will be deemed to have realized a capital gain equal to the amount of this increase.
In comparison, cash flow received through a systematic withdrawal plan (SWP) comes from the partial redemption of your investment. Half of any capital gain that you realize through such a redemption will be included in your income and taxed at the marginal tax rate indicated on the Assumptions page.
In order to compare the tax efficiency of Series T payouts to a monthly SWP, the calculator assumes the same monthly cash flows.
Taxable Year-End Distribution – Hypothetical Illustration
The calculator assumes that distributions paid by the fund at year end (other than the regular monthly ROC payment) consist entirely of capital gains.
In this scenario, the Taxable Year-End Distribution amount can be between 0% and 5%. The amount selected will be distributed at the end of each calendar year. Any such distribution will be automatically reinvested in additional fund securities. The ACB of your investment will increase by the amount of the reinvestment.
Fund Performance – Historical Illustration
The Mackenzie Series T Calculator uses Series F in order to provide information on the fund’s past performance.
