1mo agoStructure Overview
North American Financial 15 Split Corp. (FFN) holds 15 diversified North American financial companies across Canada and the United States. The U.S. financial holdings add USD income that may be treated as foreign income at the unitholder level. The split-share structure means capital share distributions depend on coverage after preferred shareholders are paid.
Canadian Planning Notes
- 1FFN's U.S. financial holdings introduce foreign income that may be taxed differently than eligible dividends from Canadian banks; verify the annual T5 for the foreign-versus-domestic income split.
- 2Capital shares depend on sufficient asset coverage; model downside scenarios for the combined Canada/U.S. financial portfolio at credit cycle stress points.
- 3TFSA placement removes the foreign-income tax complexity for the U.S. income component.
