4/22/24, 3:30 AM IFSE Institute Canadian Investment Funds Course - CIFC Exam Questions [2024] https://www.pass4test.com/CIFC-exam-questions.html 2/6 Hide answers/explanation Correct Answer: C Explanation The answer that you should tell Lior is that dividend funds tend to be less volatile and lower risk than equity funds. A dividend fund is a type of equity fund that invests primarily in dividend-paying stocks, which are shares of companies that distribute a portion of their earnings to shareholders on a regular basis. A dividend fund provides income and capital appreciation to investors, as well as tax advantages for eligible dividends paid by Canadian corporations. A dividend fund tends to be less volatile and lower risk than an equity fund that invests in non-dividend-paying stocks or growth stocks, which are shares of companies that reinvest their earnings into expanding their business rather than paying dividends. This is because dividend-paying stocks are usually issued by well-established and profitable companies that have stable cash flows and earnings, which make them more resilient to market fluctuations and economic downturns. Therefore, option C is correct regarding what you should tell Lior. The other options are not correct or relevant to what you should tell Lior. Option A is false because equity funds are not more appropriate than dividend funds if Lior requires a steady flow of income; rather, dividend funds are more suitable for income-oriented investors who want to receive regular dividends from their investments. Option B is false because dividend funds do not generate tax-preferred income while income from equity funds is fully taxable; rather, both types of funds generate taxable income for investors, but eligible dividends from Canadian corporations may qualify for a lower tax rate than other types of income due to the dividend tax credit. Option D is false because equity funds do not hold common shares while dividend funds hold only preferred shares; rather, both types of funds hold common shares, but dividend funds focus on common shares that pay dividends, while equity funds may also hold common shares that do not pay dividends or pay low dividends.

In comparing the two options, which of the following considerations is TRUE? A. A stock exchange listing would provide Underground with greater market exposure and public confidence than listing on the OTC market. B. Underground would still be directly involved in the trading of their shares on either market. C. Underground would be subject to less stringent listing requirements if they chose the stock exchange as compared to the OTC market. D. If Underground chose to list on the OTC market, there would be no secondary market available for investors. Chat now
4/22/24, 3:30 AM IFSE Institute Canadian Investment Funds Course - CIFC Exam Questions [2024] https://www.pass4test.com/CIFC-exam-questions.html 3/6 Hide answers/explanation Correct Answer: A Explanation A is correct because a stock exchange listing would provide Underground with greater market exposure and public confidence than listing on the OTC market. A stock exchange is a regulated and organized market where securities are traded through intermediaries such as brokers. A stock exchange listing can enhance the reputation, visibility, and liquidity of a company's shares, as well as attract more investors and analysts. An OTC market is a decentralized and less regulated market where securities are traded directly between buyers and sellers, usually through dealers or market makers. An OTC listing may have lower costs and fewer requirements than a stock exchange listing, but it also has less transparency, liquidity, and investor protection. Underground would not be directly involved in the trading of their shares on either market (B), as they would only issue new shares through an IPO and then let the secondary market determine the price and volume of their shares. Underground would be subject to more stringent listing requirements if they chose the stock exchange as compared to the OTC market, as they would have to meet higher standards of financial reporting, disclosure, governance, and compliance. If Underground chose to list on the OTC market, there would still be a secondary market available for investors (D), but it would be less liquid and efficient than a stock exchange.
