TORONTO, Dec. 24, 2014 /CNW/ -- Vanguard Investments
Canada Inc. today announced final annual capital gains
distributions for the Vanguard ETFs™ listed below for
the 2014 tax year.
These amounts are for the year-end capital gains distributions
only, which will be re-invested and the resulting units immediately
consolidated, so that the number of units held by each investor
will not change. Investors holding their units outside registered
plans will have taxable amounts to report and an increase in the
adjusted cost base of their investment. The annual capital gains
distributions do not include the ongoing monthly or quarterly
distribution amounts, which are reported in a separate press
release.
The ex-dividend date for the 2014 annual distributions is
December 24, 2014. The record date
for the 2014 annual distributions will be December 30, 2014, payable on January 5, 2015. The tax characteristics for all
distributions declared in 2014 will be reported in early 2015.

subsidiary of The Vanguard Group, Inc. and manages more than
$3 billion (CAD) in assets. The
Vanguard Group, Inc. is one of the world's largest investment
management companies and a leading provider of company-sponsored
retirement plan services. Vanguard manages more than $3 trillion (USD) in global assets, including
more than $400 billion (USD) in
global ETF assets. Vanguard has offices in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia. The firm offers more than 160 funds to
U.S. investors and more than 100 additional funds, including ETFs,

U.S.-domiciled funds and ETFs. Those funds, in turn, are owned by
Vanguard clients. This unique mutual structure aligns Vanguard
interests with those of its investors and drives the culture,
philosophy, and policies throughout the Vanguard organization
worldwide. As a result, Canadian investors benefit from Vanguard's
stability and experience, low-cost investing, and client focus. For
