WisdomTree Canada Announces Final 2017 Reinvested Distributions

TORONTO, Jan. 5, 2018 /CNW/ - WisdomTree Asset Management Canada, Inc. ("WisdomTree Canada") today announced the final reinvested distributions for the 2017 tax year for certain WisdomTree ETFs ("the Funds") as indicated in the table below. The record date for the 2017 reinvested distributions is December 29, 2017 payable January 8, 2018.

Details of the per-unit reinvested distribution are as follows:

Fund Name	Ticker	Reinvested Distribution per Unit ($)
WisdomTree U.S. High Dividend Index ETF – Non-Hedged	HID.B	0.2467
WisdomTree U.S. High Dividend Index ETF – Hedged	HID	1.4938

The annual reinvested distributions are considered notional distributions and are automatically reinvested in additional units and immediately consolidated so that the number of units held by each investor, the outstanding units of the Funds, and the net asset value of the units of the Funds, do not change as a result of the reinvested distribution. Investors holding units outside of registered plans will have taxable amounts to report and an increase in the adjusted cost base of their investment. The tax characteristics for all year-end distributions will be reported in early 2018.

As of January 5, 2018, these Funds are considered financial institutions for tax purposes and as such, all distributions will be considered income.
