INVESTMENTS
– Acquisition
– Interest/dividends
– Disposal
TYPES OF INVESTMENTS
1. DEBT
– Bonds, GICs, T-Bills, Commercial Paper
– Typically:
• Come with no ownership or decision-making rights
• Priority claim on the assets of a debtor when insolvent
• Are interest bearing securities that pay a stated annual interest rate on a “face value” or
“principal”
• Interest fully taxable
2. EQUITY
– Stocks, real assets
– Typically:
• Come with ownership and voting rights in a business
• Last to be paid off in a bankruptcy
• Value is linked to expectation of future cash flows of the business
• Some may pay dividends (return of profits to owner) but don’t have to
• Tax favoured status for lower tax brackets
NOTE: Capital gains can be earned on Debt or Equity investments and are only 50%
taxable in Canada.
Do you know the difference between Profit, Interest, Dividends, and Capital gains?
