FT Portfolios Canada Co. Announces Estimated 2021 Annual Capital Gains Distributions for Its Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”)

FT Portfolios Canada Co. today announced the estimated annual capital gains distributions for its ETFs listed below for the 2021 tax year.

Please note that these are estimated amounts only, as of October 31, 2021 and reflect forward looking information which may cause the estimates to change before the ETF’s December 2021 tax year-end.

These estimates are for the year-end capital gains distributions only, which will be reinvested and the resulting units immediately consolidated, so that the number of units held by each investor will not change.
