TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#CIFinancial–CI Global Asset Management (“CI GAM”) announces the confirmed annual reinvested capital gains distributions (the “Reinvested Distributions”) for the 2025 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. 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, these distributions will be reinvested on or about December 31, 2025 to unitholders of record on December 30, 2025.
These confirmed amounts are for the Reinvested Distributions only and replace the previous estimated amounts announced on December 2, 2025. The actual taxable amounts of all distributions for 2025, 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 http://www.ci.com in early 2026.
