Dear Sirs:
Re: Master Trusts and Pooled Fund Trusts
This is in reply to your letter of July 13, 1994 wherein you requested a technical interpretation concerning Master Trusts and Pooled Fund Trusts.
It is the Department's view that a trust that is prescribed to be a master trust under section 5001 of the Income Tax Regulations ("Regulations") and that elects to be such a trust pursuant to paragraph 149(1)(o.4) of the Income Tax Act, can also be a pooled fund trust under subsection 5000(7) of the Regulations.
The foregoing opinion is not a ruling and, in accordance with the guidelines set out in Information Circular 70-6R2 dated September 28, 1990, is not binding on the Department.
We trust our comments will be of assistance to you.
Yours truly,
for Director
Financial Industries Division
