The Mutual Funds category includes Registered Retirement Savings Plan's (RRSP), 401k's(US), Mutual Funds, and any other type of Investment vehicle that trades in diversified holdings and is professionally managed.
This category includes all stock holdings in Margin, Company Stock, Tax-Free Savings Accounts(TFSA) or other types of Equity Accounts. Zakat will be due on the market value of all shares at the time one is paying Zakat.
Example: An individual purchased a share for $10 with the primary intention of selling it in the future. This is now considered a trade good and therefore Zakat will be due on it. On the day Zakat is due, the value of the share is $20. Zakat will now be due on $20, not $10.
