"GOOD HOUSEKEEPING" NEWS

Monday, March 22, 2010

Greetings Member-Partners!

Before I share a bit of "housekeeping" news with you, I want to thank you for the outpouring of introductions and referrals we've received since my last letter.

So much of our success has been built on introductions made by you, our esteemed Member-Partners, and we appreciate it deeply. Your referrals are the best indication that you are happy with both your investment and the service we've provided. I promise that we will always treat your friends with the same careful attention that we have given you. After all, we owe you no less.

And now, the news...


Tax Slip Reminder
Tax slips for Limited Partnership and REIT units will be issued by March 31. This is because the information required to determine the allocation of income is derived from the completed year end financial statements. Other slips you might receive-such as T5, T4RSP, T4RIF, Official Receipts, etc.-are simply a record of a transaction that has occurred during the year, and therefore, arrive earlier. Also, note that electronic filing is not possible for Limited Partnerships that are less than one year old, as Revenue Canada will not issue a tax ID number until those LPs' first anniversary. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it is unavoidable.


Accelerated RRSP Transfers
Just in time for tax season, comes word from Olympia Trust that they can now do electronic transfers for all our RRSP-Eligible investments. This means that transfers to or from your registered plans can be done simply, efficiently, and in only a fraction of the time. Also, by taking advantage of the faster transfer process, you can now use your RRSP, RESP, LIRA and RIF funds to purchase a fixed stream of returns.

To refresh your memory, the new Income Priority Units offer the choice of the following fixed terms and rates:

All IPunits pay distributions monthly. Feel free to speak to your Member Services Manager to find out more.

Stay In the Know!
In case you missed an update email, here are some of our recent ones--all of which are available online at: www.league.ca/newsroom

Well friends, that finishes my "housekeeping" for today. If there is anything else you need, all you need to do is ask. Until next time, I remain...

Sincerely yours,

Emanuel F. Arruda
