CI Global Asset Management Announces Confirmed Annual Reinvested Capital Gains Distributions for CI ETFs
NOT FOR DISSEMINATION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
TORONTO (December 31, 2020) – CI Global Asset Management (“CI GAM”) announces the confirmed annual reinvested capital gains distributions (the “Reinvested Distributions”) for the 2020 tax year for the CI ETFs listed below.
Each of the CI ETFs is required to distribute net income and capital gains earned during the year. The Reinvested Distributions will generally consist of capital gains and/or any excess net income at year end. Other than in respect of CI First Asset High Interest Savings ETF, the Reinvested Distributions will not be paid in cash, but will be reinvested and the resulting units immediately consolidated so that the number of units held by each investor will not change. Investors holding units outside registered plans will have taxable amounts to report and will have an increase in the adjusted cost base of their investment. In all cases, other than CI First Asset High Interest Savings ETF, these distributions will be reinvested on or about December 31, 2020 to unitholders of record on December 30, 2020. With respect to CI First Asset High Interest Savings ETF, the Reinvested Distribution will distribute interest accrued between December 23, 2020 and December 31, 2020 and will be paid in cash on or about January 7, 2021 to unitholders of record on December 31, 2020. The ex-dividend date in each case is December 29, 2020, with the exception of CI First Asset High Interest Savings ETF which has an ex-dividend date of December 31, 2020.
These confirmed amounts are for the Reinvested Distributions only and replace the previous estimates announced on December 7, 2020. The actual taxable amounts of all distributions for 2020, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) and will be posted on www.firstasset.com in early 2021.
