TORONTO, Dec. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AGF Investments Inc. (AGF Investments) (TSX:AGF.B) today announced the final December 2024 cash distributions and annual 2024 reinvested capital gains distributions for the AGF Investments ETFs listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange or Cboe Canada Inc.
Unitholders of record of an AGF Investments ETF on December 31, 2024 will receive (i) the actual 2024 reinvested capital gains distributions payable in respect of that AGF investments ETF on December 31, 2024; and (ii) the actual December 2024 cash distributions payable in respect of that AGF Investments ETF on January 7, 2025. The actual taxable amounts for 2024, including the tax characteristics, will be reported in early 2025.
The annual reinvested capital gains distributions generally represent realized capital gains within the AGF Investments ETFs and will not be paid in cash, but will be reinvested in the form of a notional distribution and reported as taxable. A notional distribution is when the units from a reinvested distribution are immediately consolidated with the units held prior to the distribution. The number of units held after the distribution is therefore identical to the number of units held before the distribution. The unitholder’s adjusted cost base for the respective AGF Investments ETF may increase.
