MONTREAL, Dec. 28,
2023 /CNW/ - Desjardins Global Asset Management Inc.
(DGAM), acting as manager and portfolio advisor of the Desjardins
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), announces today the annual reinvested
income and/or capital gains distributions (the "reinvested
distributions") final amounts for the ETFs listed on the TSX.
Unitholders of record on December 29,
2023 will receive the reinvested distributions payable in
respect of these ETFs on or about January 8,
2024. The reinvested distributions will be reinvested in
units of the applicable ETF and the resulting units will be
immediately consolidated, so that the number of units held by each
investor will not change. Investors holding their units outside
registered plans will have taxable amounts to report and an
increase in the adjusted cost base of their units.
These final amounts are for the reinvested distributions only,
and do not include the ongoing periodic cash distribution amounts
which are being announced in a separate press release.
Below is the reinvested distributions final amount to be paid
per unit for the ETFs that will pay reinvested distributions:
