Invesco announces estimated cash and annual reinvested distributions for its Canadian-listed Invesco ETFs

TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2019 /CNW/ -- Invesco today announced the estimated December 2019 distributions for its Invesco exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Unitholders of record on December 30, 2019 will receive cash distributions payable on January 8, 2020.

Further, Invesco today announced estimated annual reinvested distributions for its Invesco ETFs. Unitholders of record on December 30, 2019 will receive these distributions, which will generally consist of capital gains and return of capital. The distributions will be reinvested and the resulting units immediately consolidated, so that the number of units held by each investor will not change and there will be an increase in the adjusted cost base of the investment. Investors holding their units outside registered plans will also have taxable amounts to report.

Please note that these figures are estimates only, as at December 15, 2019. If any changes to the rates are required, Invesco will announce the final cash and annual reinvested distribution rates for all funds on or about December 27, 2019. If no changes are required to the distribution rates per share, the rates listed below are final for the 2019 tax year. Generally, the distribution per unit is expected to increase if the net units outstanding of a fund decrease between December 13 (the tax year-end) and December 27, 2019 (the ex-dividend date), or other unforeseen events occur.

The tax characteristics for all distributions declared in 2019 will be reported before the end of February 2020.

Details of the "per-unit" distribution amounts are as follows:

^† A ticker symbol ending with ".U" represents U.S.-dollar-denominated units. USD units of these ETFs are offered as a convenience for investors who wish to purchase with U.S. dollars and receive distributions and the proceeds of sale or redemption in U.S. dollars. The USD units are not hedged against changes in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar.

The tax composition of the Invesco ETFs' distributions will be determined on an annual basis and will only be available after the Invesco ETFs' tax year-end.

Commissions, management fees and expenses may all be associated with investments in ETFs. ETFs are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Please read the prospectus before investing. Copies are available from Invesco Canada Ltd. at invesco.ca.

There are risks involved with investing in ETFs. Please read the prospectus for a complete description of risks relevant to the ETF. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply to purchases and sales of ETF units.

Most Invesco ETFs seek to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the applicable index, and are not actively managed. This means that the sub-advisor will not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets and the ETF will continue to provide exposure to each of the securities in the index regardless of whether the financial condition of one or more issuers of securities in the index deteriorates. In contrast, if an Invesco ETFs ETF is actively managed, then the sub-advisor has discretion to adjust that Invesco ETFs ETF's holdings in accordance with the ETF's investment objectives and strategies.
