Taline's risk profile should be "low" because her risk capacity is low and she cannot afford large investment losses. Risk capacity is the degree of risk that an investor must take in order to achieve their financial goals, while risk tolerance is the degree of risk that an investor is willing to take. Risk capacity is more important than risk tolerance in determining an investor's risk profile1. Taline has a low risk capacity because she lives on a low, fixed income and cannot afford to lose money. Her risk tolerance may be high, but that does not mean she should take more risk than she can handle. Faruq should not override Taline's risk capacity or assess her risk profile based on the higher of her risk tolerance and risk capacity, as that would be unsuitable and unethical.

The amount that the client will be eligible to receive from the IPC is $950,000. The IPC is a not-for-profit corporation that provides coverage to eligible clients of insolvent members of the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (MFDA). The IPC covers up to $1 million per account type per client for losses of securities, cash, and other property held by the insolvent member. The account types include RRSPs, RRIFs, TFSAs, RESPs, and non-registered accounts. Therefore, the client will be eligible for coverage of $950,000 for his RRSP account, which is the value of his securities and cash held by Tradewell Mutual Funds in his RRSP account. The client will not be eligible for any coverage for his non-registered account, as it is held in nominee name, meaning that the securities and cash are registered in the name of Tradewell Mutual Funds on behalf of the client. Nominee name accounts are not covered by the IPC, as they are not considered to be at risk in the event of insolvency. Therefore, option B is correct regarding the amount that the client will be eligible to receive from the IPC. The other options are not correct regarding the amount that the client will be eligible to receive from the IPC. Option A is false because the client will be eligible for some coverage, as his RRSP account is covered by the IPC. Option C is false because the client will not be eligible for coverage of
$1.5 million, as his non-registered account is not covered by the IPC. Option D is false because the client will not be eligible for coverage of $550,000, as his non-registered account is not covered by the IPC. References:
