Date 13/03/2025

SIFMA and SIFMA’s Asset Management Group (SIFMA AMG) today issued the following statement from Lindsey Keljo, head of SIFMA AMG, on the introduction of the GROWTH Act:

 “We appreciate the introduction of the GROWTH Act by Representatives Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) and Terri Sewell (D-AL), which would remove the annual tax on mutual funds held in taxable accounts for reinvested long-term gains, resulting in tax parity between exchange traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds.  Mutual funds are a crucial tool used by millions of Americans working to save for the future. The commonsense policy changes proposed today would establish fair tax treatment of these products and allow savers who choose to invest in mutual funds to keep more of their funds invested for the long-term.”

To mark Fraud Prevention Month and combat the escalating threat of online investment fraud, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are together urging Canadians to help fight fraud by reporting suspected scams and by increasing vigilance when considering online investment opportunities. The CSA, CAFC and RCMP are particularly concerned about the increasing prevalence and sophistication of online investment scams. For the first time since the CSA started tracking incidences of investment fraud, scams among younger Canadians have trended upwards. According to the CSA’s 2024 Investor Index Survey, 46 per cent of Canadians report they’ve seen investment opportunities promoted on social media. Fraudsters are using everyday financial pressures and offers of quick and easy money to attract Canadians from all walks of life.
