mutual fund industry sees threat of ETNs

November 26. 2007 (the business investors daily supplied of Newstex) — a debate between financial Diensterbringern brews acted notes over the taxation the exchange and mutual funds. On the one side is mutual fund the industry, as represented of investment company Institut. On the other one the ETN promoter is, like Barclays (nyse:BCS) global investors. The problem is that ETNs, if a portion is sold are taxed straight as usual stock portions and ETF of portions. But the ICI argue that ETNs should report on resulting income, which same way mutual funds. In a usual, open mutual fund those is angeFordert capital, in order to distribute dividends on shareholders, who keep taxed with the control item of the tidy income, instead of the preferential rate for long-term capital gains. On which this means is that, instead of to pay the tax, which for portion course increase (and profit) is formed, if a ETN is sold, the shareholder taxes on the income would pay, as it comes in from the shares, which a ETN forms. Pressing Washington ICI president Paul Schott of stevens, rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y. and Jim McCrery, r-La., and asked and-wrote the classification members of the committee of the house central that the taxation is changed, because it offers an unfair advantage to ETNs. ETNs differ from ETFs by the fact that they are proofs of indebtedness. investor takes the danger, which the exhibitor drops back on paying, if the portion is redeemed. That is not applicable from ETFs, which redeem portions for cash to investor and to the underlying shares to the mediator. The collateral industry and the money market connection (SIFMA)says ETNs their taxation should hold, because a ETN is more like one terminkontrakt. In capital investor the influences can use the underlying shares and the dividends, in order to receive more capitals of portions. That is not applicable in a ETN. In SIFMAs own letter to the means and committee, argue Treber lacquer-cut, CEO of the organization, which are dividend yield on a ETN “phantom income”, which would be difficult to calculate. It compares it to loading income tax on the acknowledgment one stock portion, even if it does not pay dividends. A commercial law enterprise, it notices unintentional consequences Tom Humphreys, partner with Morrison and with Foerster, that there are other breaks, if one changes the status of ETNs. One are limited contracts, which divide many characteristics of ETNs. E.G. both promises of the future payment are to investors. “you cannot give like a rifle shot laws,” said it. All possible changes in the taxation of a security can affect others. Humphreys adds that the expenditure up now came, because dividends increased tax assessments of many investors ‘ pushed up and ETNs more attractively in an educated manner.
