Over the years there have been numerous instances of PFIC investment swaps within our Canadian mutual funds account. Sometimes a portion and at other times all of a given fund was switched in kind for a new fund or to add to a different existing fund. This has always been a function of our investment adviser striving to optimize our portfolio... not create a distribution or disposition. How do we report these kinds of changes to a given pair of PFICs?
If this question has been addressed before perhaps someone could point me in the direction of that discussion.
Thanks for your assistance.
