CI Global Asset Management Announces Estimated Annual Reinvested Capital Gains Distributions for CI ETFs

Please note that a revised version of this press release was issued on December 9, 2022, providing amended estimated annual reinvested capital gains distributions for CI Gold Bullion Fund. The complete, corrected release follows:

 

Not for dissemination to U.S. Newswire Services or for dissemination

in the United States of America

 

TORONTO (December 5, 2022) – CI Global Asset Management (“CI GAM”) announces the estimated annual reinvested capital gains distributions (the “Reinvested Distributions”) for the 2022 tax year for the CI ETFs listed below.

 

Please note that these are estimated amounts as of October 31, 2022 and include certain forward-looking information which may cause the Reinvested Distributions to change before the CI ETFs’ tax year-end on December 15, 2022 and December 31, 2022. These estimated amounts are for the Reinvested Distributions only and do not include the ongoing, regular monthly or quarterly cash distribution amounts, which are expected to be announced in a separate press release in December 2022.

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 30, 2022 to unitholders of record on December 29, 2022.

CI GAM expects to announce the final, confirmed Reinvested Distribution amounts (subject to any further revisions to per unit amounts resulting from subscription and redemption activity prior to the record date) on or about December 30, 2022. The actual taxable amounts of all distributions for 2022, 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 www.ci.com in early 2023.

CI GAM provides estimated distributions for information purposes only. These estimates are not intended to be, nor should they construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular person.

Commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with an investment in ETFs. You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell units of an ETF on recognized Canadian exchanges. If the units are purchased or sold on these Canadian exchanges, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying units of the ETF and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them.

ETFs are not guaranteed; their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.

 

This document contains forward-looking statements concerning anticipated future events, results, circumstances, performance or expectations with respect to CI Financial Corp. (“CI”) and its products and services, including its business operations, strategy and financial performance and condition. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe”, “expect”, “foresee”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “goal”, “plan” and “project” and similar references to future periods, or conditional verbs such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “could” or “would”. These statements are not historical facts but instead represent management beliefs regarding future events, many of which by their nature are inherently uncertain and beyond management’s control. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements involve risks and uncertainties. The material factors and assumptions applied in reaching the conclusions contained in these forward-looking statements include that all  announced transactions will be completed and that assets levels do not decline prior to completion, the investment fund industry will remain stable and that interest rates will remain relatively stable. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, among other things, general economic and market conditions, including interest and foreign exchange rates, global financial markets, changes in government regulations or in tax laws, industry competition, technological developments and other factors described or discussed in CI’s disclosure materials filed with applicable securities regulatory authorities from time to time. The foregoing list is not exhaustive and the reader is cautioned to consider these and other factors carefully and not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Other than as specifically required by applicable law, CI undertakes no obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statement after the date on which it is made, whether to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.
