The Bolton Trýemblay Incomne Fund, in existence for over 5 years, is worth -considering for a retirement fund, especially for cautious investors. Since late 1982, a new strategy was adopted to concentrate on after-tax return through investments in dividend producing preferred shares. The dividend tax credit makes $1 of dividends equivalent to a much higher amount of interest income. The amount dependa on the province of residence and the taxable ancome bracket. (For example, an individual wth $30,000 of taxable income in Manitoba must earn $1.54 in interest 10 match the after-tax benefit of $100 in dividends.) ~ For more Information, just f 111 out the coupon below and mal to us today.
