TORONTO, Dec. 9, 2015 /CNW/ -- Vanguard Investments Canada
Inc. today announced the estimated annual capital gains
distributions for the Vanguard ETFs® listed below for
the 2015 tax year. Please note that these are estimated
amounts only as of November 6, 2015
and reflect forward-looking information which may cause the
estimates to change before the ETFs' December 15, 2015 tax year-end.
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 17,
2015. The ex-dividend date for the 2015 annual distributions
will be December 24, 2015. The
record date for the 2015 annual distributions will be December 30, 2015, payable on January 5, 2016.
