I believe the ABC Canadian Equity Fund might be the right pick since it has a lower return compared to the GHI fund, but I’m not confident about the tax implications.

I’m a bit confused about the in-kind contributions. Wouldn’t moving $20,000 from each fund complicate things with taxes?

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to consider capital gains. I feel like the GHI Global Equity Fund could be a better choice because of its higher return.

I think moving the DEF Bond Fund might be the best option since it has a lower return, but I'm not entirely sure if that’s the most tax-efficient choice.
