Q: Good morning,
I recently became aware that SOBO's dividends can be paid in US$.
Q1. Do you consider it a good idea to journal SOBO.CA holdings in a CDN$ Non Registered account to a US$ Non Registered account so that US$ can be generated in a similar manner as journaling BN shares from my CND$ Non Registered account to my US$ Non Registered account for the purpose of generating US$.
Q2. Do you see any negative aspect or tax implication with this strategy?
Thank you for your thoughts on this and I'll await your response.
Francesco

5i Research Answer:
1) Yes, we would consider it a good idea to avoid f/x conversion charges on US dividends. 2) We see no real downside. SOBO is a Canadian company so tax implications are unchanged. There may be some f/x volatility but for inter-listed stocks arbitrage usually makes this volatility minimal.
