TORONTO, Dec. 20, 2017 /CNW/ - Vanguard Investments Canada
Inc. today announced final annual capital gains distributions for
the Vanguard ETFs® listed below for the 2017 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. 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 2017 annual distributions will be
December 28, 2017. The record
date for the 2017 annual distributions will be December 29, 2017 and payable on January 8, 2018. The actual taxable amounts
of reinvested capital gains distributions for 2017 including the
tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to
brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or
"CDS") in early 2018.

About Vanguard
Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. is a wholly owned indirect
subsidiary of The Vanguard Group, Inc. and manages more than
CAD 13 billion in assets (as of
November 30, 2017). 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 USD 4.8
trillion in global assets (as of October 31, 2017) with over USD 800B in ETF assets. Vanguard has offices in
the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia. The firm offers more than 370 funds,
including ETFs, to its more than 20 million investors
worldwide.
Vanguard operates under a unique operating structure. Unlike
firms that are publicly held or owned by a small group of
individuals, The Vanguard Group, Inc. is owned by Vanguard's
U.S.-domiciled funds and ETFs. Those funds, in turn, are owned by
the funds' investors. 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.
Commissions, management fees, and expenses all may be
associated with investments in a Vanguard ETF®.
Investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses, and other important
information are contained in the prospectus; please read it before
investing. ETFs are not guaranteed, their values change frequently,
and past performance may not be repeated. Vanguard ETFs®
are managed by Vanguard Investments Canada Inc., an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Vanguard Group, Inc., and are
available across Canada through
registered dealers.
