TORONTO, Nov. 18,
2022 /CNW/ - BMO Asset Management Inc. and
BMO Investments Inc. today announced the estimated 2022 annual
reinvested distributions for BMO Exchange Traded Funds (BMO ETFs)
and ETF Series of the BMO Mutual Funds (ETF
Series)1. These annual reinvested distributions
generally represent realized capital gains and special income
within the BMO ETFs and ETF Series, and are paid to unitholders, as
required, to ensure that the BMO ETFs and ETF Series are not liable
for ordinary income tax.
Unitholders of record at close of business on December 29, 2022 will receive the 2022 annual
reinvested distributions. The final year-end distribution amounts,
as well as the ongoing cash distribution amounts, are expected to
be announced on December 19, 2022.
The actual taxable amounts, including the tax characteristics, will
be reported in 2023.
Please note that these are estimated annual reinvested
distributions only and have been calculated based upon
forward-looking information as of October
21, 20222. If the forward-looking information
changes, the estimated annual reinvested distributions may also
change.
These estimates are for the annual reinvested distributions only
and do not include estimates of ongoing cash distribution
amounts.
Details of the per-unit estimated annual reinvested distribution
amounts are as follows:
