Explanation A custodian in mutual fund is a trust company, bank, or similar financial institution that is responsible for holding and safeguarding the securities owned within a mutual fund. The custodian also records and reports all transactions to the fund manager. The custodian does not oversee the general administration, construct and manage the portfolio, or calculate the NAVPU of the mutual fund. These are the roles of other entities such as the fund administrator, the fund manager, and the fund accountant.

Question 77
Which of the following statements describes a feature of the Home Buyers' Plan (HBP)?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation The Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) is a program that allows eligible first-time home buyers to withdraw up to $35,000 from their registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) to buy or build a qualifying home without paying any tax on the withdrawal. The withdrawn amount must be repaid to the RRSP over a period of up to 15 years, starting from the second year after the withdrawal. If the required repayment for a year is not made, it is added to the taxpayer's income and subject to tax. Therefore, option B describes a feature of the HBP. The other options are not correct descriptions of the HBP. Option A is false because to qualify as a first-time home buyer, you or your spouse must not have owned and lived in another home as your principal place of residence during the four-year period before the date of withdrawal. Option C is false because a qualifying home must be purchased or built before October 1 of the year following the year of withdrawal. Option D is false because if you have a spouse or common-law partner, each of you can withdraw up to $35,000 from your RRSPs, not $50,000.
