TORONTO, Dec. 21,
2022 /CNW/ - Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. today
announced the estimated annual capital gains distributions for the
Vanguard ETFs listed below for the 2022 tax year. This is an update
to the estimated annual capital gains distributions announced on
November 17, 2022. Please
note that these are estimated amounts only, as of December 15, 2022, and could change if the
Vanguard ETFs experience subscriptions or redemptions prior to the
ex-dividend date.
These estimates are for the year-end capital gains distributions
only, which will be re-invested and the resulting units immediately
consolidated, so that the number of units held by each investor
will not change. These estimates do not include estimates of
ongoing monthly or quarterly cash distribution amounts, which are
reported in a separate press release.
Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. expects to announce the final
year-end distribution amounts for all ETFs (with the exception of
VBU, VBG and VGAB, which were announced on December 19, 2022) on or about December 29, 2022. The ex-dividend date for the
2022 year-end distributions for these ETFs will be December 29, 2022. The record date will be
December 30, 2022 and payable on
January 9, 2023. The actual taxable
amounts of reinvested capital gains distributions for 2022,
including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be
reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services
Inc.) in early-2023.

About Vanguard

Vanguard assets, including Canadian and U.S.-domiciled ETFs and
Canadian mutual funds. Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. manages CAD
$51 billion in assets (as of
November 30, 2022) with 37 Canadian
ETFs and six mutual funds currently available. The Vanguard Group,
Inc. is one of the world's largest investment management companies
and a leading provider of company-sponsored retirement plan
services. Vanguard manages USD $7.5
trillion (CAD $10 trillion) in
global assets, including over USD $2.1
trillion (CAD $2.9 trillion)

United States, Canada,
Mexico, Europe, Australia and Asia. The firm offers 431 funds, including

U.S.-domiciled funds and ETFs. Those funds, in turn, are owned by
Vanguard clients. This unique mutual structure aligns Vanguard
interests with those of its investors and drives the culture,
philosophy, and policies throughout the Vanguard organization
worldwide. As a result, Canadian investors benefit from Vanguard's
stability and experience, low-cost investing, and client focus. For

Commissions, management fees, and expenses all may be
associated with investment funds. Investment objectives, risks,
fees, expenses, and other important information are contained in
the prospectus; please read it before investing. Investment funds
