How we think about Sun Life Financial Inc at Evermore
Sun Life Financial Inc (SLF) operates in the Insurance sector and trades on TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE. A single company — no matter how strong — carries concentration risk that a diversified portfolio does not. We generally frame any individual stock as one holding within a broader plan, sized so that a bad quarter for one company can't derail your goals.
How Sun Life Financial Inc is taxed for Canadian investors
For a Canadian holding a US-listed stock like SLF, two taxes matter. Capital gains on a sale are 50% taxable in Canada (see capital gains tax). Dividends paid by a US company face a 15% US withholding tax under the Canada–US tax treaty (with a valid W-8BEN on file). Prices here are quoted in CAD, so currency movements between the CAD and the Canadian dollar also affect your real return.
Can you hold Sun Life Financial Inc in a TFSA or RRSP?
Yes — US-listed stocks are qualified investments for both. But the accounts are not equal for US dividends: inside an RRSP, US dividend withholding tax is waived under the treaty, while inside a TFSA the 15% withholding still applies and can't be recovered. For US dividend-payers, the RRSP is usually the more tax-efficient home.
