AGF Announces Estimated Annual Reinvested Capital Gains Distributions for AGFiQ ETFs

TORONTO, Nov. 23, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AGF Investments Inc. (AGF) today announced the estimated annual 2017 reinvested distributions for the AGFiQ ETFs listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. These annual reinvested distributions generally represent realized capital gains within the AGFiQ ETFs and will not be paid in cash, but will be reinvested and reported as taxable.

The annual reinvested distributions will be paid in the form of a notional distribution. 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 AGFiQ ETF may increase.

Please note that these are estimated capital gains amounts only, as of November 15, 2017. As these are estimated amounts, the final capital gains distributions may change before the AGFiQ ETFs’ December 15, 2017 tax year end. The actual distribution amounts, will be reported on or about December 19, 2017.

The actual taxable amounts for 2017, including the tax characteristics, will be reported in early 2018. Unitholders of record of an AGFiQ ETF on December 29, 2017 will receive the actual 2017 reinvested distributions payable in respect of that AGFiQ ETF on December 29, 2017.

Cash distributions for December 2017 will be reported separately.
