Calculated Financial Assets Calculated financial assets are estimates of the principal amounts invested to generate the dividend and interest incomes reported on the tax file. The basis of the estimation is the interest and dividend income reported and average rates of return for interest and dividends. As at 2015, 41.4 per cent of Calgary families had CFA, resulting in 248,030 Calgary families generating an investment total of $330.2 Billion (an average of $1,331,402 per family with CFA). During this same period, Calgarian CFA families’ average investment ($1,331,402) exceeded the provincial ($1,115,681) and national ($631,745) averages.
Footnote Statistics Canada’s Calculated Financial Assets (CFA) data was created from the interest and dividend information contained in personal income tax returns of all family members. Ideally, net worth may be the desired measure. Whereas it is possible to estimate the principal amount invested in interest and dividend-bearing instruments, the CFA is by no means an estimate of net worth. This measure, in particular, excludes all non-financial assets – financial assets held in which the income is not taxable, such as Registered Retirement Savings Plans, and assets that do not generate annual income in the form of interest or dividends, such as non dividend-bearing stocks. The measure in no way estimates financial liabilities, or even takes liabilities into account. The CFA, however, is an estimate of some liquid assets – assets that might be of interest to a financial marketer.
Proportionately, by 2015, Calgary families with CFA had invested a higher percentage of total investments than the provincial and national average, across CFA investment ranges from $500,000 to $1,000,000+.
