TORONTO, Nov. 24, 2017 /CNW/ - Vanguard Investments Canada
Inc. today announced the estimated annual capital gains
distributions for the Vanguard ETFs® listed below for
the 2017 tax year. Please note that these are estimated
amounts only, as of November 6, 2017,
and reflect forward-looking information which may cause the
estimates to change before the ETFs' December 15, 2017 year-end tax
date.
These estimates 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. These estimates do not include estimates of
ongoing monthly or quarterly distribution amounts.
Vanguard expects to announce the final year-end distribution
amounts, as well as the monthly and quarterly cash distribution
amounts, on or about December 20,
2017. 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.
