Yes, that would probably be usual for a bond fund. I was talking about if he bought actual bonds themselves, like a Canada Savings Bond. In that case there would be no reinvestment of interest income.

Didn't think you can discuss this stuff on the forum.... anyway... 23% here on my RRSP!

This is the stuff I find most interesting of all the things that get discussed on this forum. I wish there was more of it!

I just self direct now. Been getting some very good returns recently as a result.
