    Dynamic Funds Addresses the Impact of 2016 Federal Budget on Its Corporate Class Fund Line-up

    TORONTO, ON - March 30, 2016 /CNW/ - The 2016 Federal Budget has proposed changes to Canadian tax law that will impact the tax treatment of investors holding shares of mutual fund corporations, including Dynamic Global Fund Corporation and Dynamic Managed Portfolios Ltd. The Federal Budget proposes to amend the Income Tax Act (Canada) so that an exchange of shares of a mutual fund corporation that results in the investor switching between mutual funds will be considered to be a disposition at fair market value for tax purposes. 

    Currently, shareholders of mutual funds that are classes of a mutual fund corporation may switch their shares of one mutual fund for shares of another mutual fund that is a class of the same corporation without triggering a taxable disposition. However, if these proposed changes are implemented, switches between mutual funds that are classes of Dynamic Global Fund Corporation or Dynamic Managed Portfolios Ltd. that occur on or after October 1, 2016 will be taxable transactions for shareholders.

    Investors should consult with their financial advisor on how this proposal may impact their investment plans. 1832 Asset Management L.P., the manager of the Dynamic Funds, continues to assess and evaluate this proposal and its potential impact on the Funds.

    The Dynamic Funds affected by the proposed changes to Canadian tax law are:
