TORONTO, Dec. 28, 2018 /CNW/ - Vanguard Investments Canada
Inc. today announced final annual capital gains distributions for
the Vanguard ETFs listed below for the 2018 tax year. Please
note that this is a further update to the estimated annual capital
gains distributions previously announced on November 19, 2018 and on December 20, 2018.
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, quarterly or annual cash distribution
amounts, which were reported in a separate press release.
The ex-dividend date for the 2018 annual distributions is
December 28, 2018. The record
date for the 2018 annual distributions will be December 31, 2018 and payable on January 8, 2019. The actual taxable amounts
of reinvested capital gains distributions for 2018 including the
tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to
brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) in
early 2019.
